For over sixty years Baird Manufacturer Division has directed its efforts toward assisting production men with the problems encountered
in pumping oil wells. Solutions to some of these problems were made possible by the introduction of new principles in ball and seat
design such as the double seal, and the triple seal. At a time when gas lock was a real challenge to profitable well pumping, the
Baird snubber cage was developed. Baird also did something about corrosion failure in balls and seats with the development of our
Sheralloy grade assembly for the most severe pumping conditions.
