Pipe wipers are rubber rings used on drilling rigs to wipe drilling mud off the drill pipe. At Everest Rubber, we manufacture single pipe wipers, dual solid pipe wipers and dual split pipe wipers molded from a specially formulated compound resistant to mud, water and oil-based drilling fluids. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer with fast delivery across the USA.
Pipe Wipers Rubber for Drilling Rigs
Single, Dual & Dual Split - Pipe Wipers
Pipe wipers are molded from a specially formulated compound that is resistant to mud, water and oil based drilling muds.
They are designed to resist cutting, tearing and abrasion from a variety of drilling fluids.
Pipe size cutting rings are identified in the center of each pipe wiper. As the pipe wiper wears, it can be re-cut to the next cutting ring available, allowing longer use of the wiper. For oil & gas sealing applications, see HNBR rubber.
Single Pipe Wipers Rubber
Single Pipe Wipers - Dual Solid Pipe Wipers
SINGLE pipe wipers have a hard rubber ring molded near the outer surface to prevent the wiper from being pulled through the master bushing.
DUAL SOLID pipe wipers are molded with two (2) hard rubber rings for reinforcement. Dual wipers provide a flexible double lip where oversize tool joints and protectors are used. Their wide slots allow mud to drain easily.
DUAL Split pipe wipers have two (2) metal rings molded inside to allow the wiper to split and wrap around drill pipe when using a solid master bushing.
