Why Silicon Nitride Balls

Tough Balls That Seal and Last

Silicon nitride balls are tough and resist cracking and breaking, so they hold up in rod pump service where other balls chip or wear out of round.

We recommend Grade 25 over Grade 40. Grade 25 balls are more precise and spherical, which means better roundness and a better seal on the seat.

We supply API ball sizes 11/16", 3/4", 7/8", 15/16", 1", 1 1/8", 1 1/4", 1 3/8" and 1 1/2".

What is the difference between Grade 25 and Grade 40 balls?

Grade 25 balls are more precise and spherical than Grade 40. That gives better roundness and sealing, which is why we recommend Grade 25 for rod pump service.
