Rubber Aluminum bushing Swab Cups
V-Type Rubber Swab Cups — Bushing and Mandrel Fit Selection
V-type swab cups are listed in light-duty and heavy-duty configurations for fluid-lifting enquiries. For a replacement, match the cup bore and bushing geometry to the mandrel, and review the lip profile against the actual tubing bore and restrictions. Specify whether the required bushing is aluminum or steel on the order drawing; the steel-core dimensional rows below describe separate listed configurations.
Provide sand concentration, particle conditions, fluid additives and operating temperature for compound selection. Abrasion resistance, tensile requirements and chemical compatibility need the selected compound data and agreed tests; the name Frac Fluid alone does not establish performance.

Related swab cup styles — match construction before substitution:
TA style: A separate cup profile listed with steel or aluminum bushing options. Confirm load requirements, lip geometry, cup dimensions and rubber compound against the selected drawing.
MV style: A multi-lip profile with bushing options. Specify the mandrel interface, tubing restrictions and suspended sand conditions for comparison with a V-type replacement.
V style: Upturned lips and light-duty/heavy-duty configurations are described for this family. Review lip deflection, fluid load and operating restrictions with the assembly requirements; do not treat lip inversion as a guaranteed overload protection device.
For bushing selection, provide mandrel diameter, locating shoulders, retention arrangement and cup installation orientation. The listed OD and ID dimensions are enquiry references; confirm final tolerances and the definition of each size designation on the matching drawing.
Application enquiry: fluid lifting in oilfield tubing. Supply the actual oil, water, gas/condensate exposure, temperature, sand content and operating conditions for compound and assembly review.
Packing and shipment :
1: Express shipment for small or urgent orders; confirm carrier and destination.
2: Air shipment: confirm airport or door delivery requirements.
3: Sea shipment for bulk orders; confirm packing and shipment schedule.
For a V-type rubber swab cup quotation, send the tubing bore, mandrel drawing, cup OD/ID, aluminum or steel bushing requirement, duty configuration, fluid conditions and quantity.
