2 HISTORY. Dixie Iron Works, a privately held business, began as a small oilfield machine shop in Longview, Texas in Mr. Frank W. Ussery, the original owner, moved the company to South Texas in 1939 and Dixie has been at the same location for over 60 years. The company rapidly grew into the very best oilfield repair machine shop in South Texas and by 1974 its capabilities and skilled craftsmen were known and respected all over the Southwest. In 1974 the ownership of the company changed hands for the first time. With a new owner, Joseph C. Merritt, Dixie began a period of change and rapid growth. In 1987, after several years of manufacturing high pressure flow control products for a small start-up company known as Manifold Systems Incorporated (MSI), Mr. Merritt bought 100 percent of MSI and added it to Dixie s repair & machining services. During the early 90 s, Dixie received ISO 9001 certification, demonstrating a level of commitment to systematic quality that few in its industry can match. During the late 90 s, Dixie eliminated paperwork on the shop floor by installing a tailored computer system. The advantages to Dixie of this move are many, but the most important is the continuous improvement of customer service levels. In 2000, after witnessing unprecedented growth in its product lines, Dixie terminated the oilfield repair operations of the company, bringing a tight focus on its high pressure plug valves, fittings, chokes, manifolds, and well service pumps for the oil & gas industry. Gerard Danos came to Dixie in 1991 after graduating from Rice University. In 2001, Gerard became President of Dixie/MSI and his leadership has helped take the company from a general repair shop to a company known around the globe for producing quality oilfield equipment. In 2003, Dixie changed hands for its second time when Mr. Danos became the owner of Dixie Iron Works, Ltd. and today Dixie continues to grow and preserve its strong tradition of quality, service, and respect for its customers and employees. SERVICE. Since its beginning as a general oilfield machine shop in 1933, Dixie Iron Works, Ltd. has established a well-known reputation in the oilfield for prompt and reliable service. Today, MSI fully understands the value of the same service and customer satisfaction that has been our tradition for over 70 years. MSI has made service the keystone of our company to ensure that our customers get the answers and solutions they need, when they need them. We make sure that service issues are dealt with immediately and that replacement equipment and spare parts are delivered with as little delay as possible. When necessary, MSI will provide an on-site technical expert to address issues in the field.

MSI plug valves are used throughout the oil and gas industry worldwide in Standard and H 2 S service environments.

4 PLUG VALVES MSI raised the bar in the oilfield using proven designs that are enhanced by superior quality and innovation. MSI plug valves are built and tested to the highest standards using advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure optimum performance and reliability. MSI plug valves are used throughout the oil and gas industry worldwide in Standard and H 2 S service environments. Applications for the MSI plug valve include: Blow-Out Preventer systems, Snubbing, Cementing, Well Stimulation, Sand separator systems, Gravel Pack applications, Coiled Tubing systems, Production Testing, Flow Back operations and many other applications. LT Plug Valve The MSI LT plug valve is a lubricated, tapered seal, quarter-turn plug valve for rapid full open or close operation. The valve cavity is tapered to ensure uniform seating of the sealing inserts, providing a reliable seal at the full range of pressures. The MSI LT plug valve and replacement parts are engineered to provide low operating torque and resistance to the toughest abrasive and corrosive conditions. TE Plug Valve The MSI TE plug valve is a lubricated, straight pocket, quarter-turn plug valve for rapid full open or close operation. Its ease of assembly and repair make this design a favorite among well service companies. The MSI TE plug valve and replacement parts are engineered to provide low operating torque and resistance to the toughest abrasive and corrosive conditions. MSI offers both valve styles with more end connection choices than any other plug valve manufacturer in the industry. Connection types such as Hammer Unions, Line Pipe, API Flanged, Tool Joint, Clamp Hub, and our own patented metal-to-metal WingSeal (WS20 and WS30) are just a few of the available choices.

TI-600 MSI Products is proud to introduce the TI-600 Well Service Pump. The TI-600 is a 600 horsepower triplex pump that comes with many standard features, but its most important feature is the MSI Products commitment to Quality. The TI-600 is suited for acidizing, cementing, gravel packing, coil tubing and well stimulation service. MSI QI-600 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Rated Brake Horse Power: 600 Plunger Sizes: 2-3/4 to 4-1/2 Gear Ratio: 4.6:1 Maximum Rod Load (lbs): 100,000 Dry Weight: 4500 Stroke Length: 6 Fluid Ends MSI TI-600 Replacement Fluid Ends MSI fluid ends are designed to be interchangeable with other similar style triplex pumps. They are offered in two design configurations to accommodate various applications. The larger fluid end is designed to achieve maximum volume output with larger plunger sizes of 3 1 2, 4, and To achieve the maximum working pressures of today s well service needs, the smaller fluid end is designed with smaller plunger sizes of and 3. QI-1000 MSI Products is proud to introduce the newest and largest compact style plunger pump, the QI-1000 well service compact pump. Our 1000 horsepower quintaplex plunger pump is suited for acidizing, cementing, gravel packing, coil tubing, frac and well stimulation services. The QI-1000 is currently the highest horsepower rated pump capable of being mounted in a back to back configuration and staying within standard DOT regulation widths. Yet, at less than 7000 pounds, it is the lightest 1000 horsepower pump on the market. MSI QI-1000 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Rated Brake Horse Power: 1000 Plunger Sizes: 2-3/4 to 4-1/2 Gear Ratio: 4.6:1 Maximum Rod Load (lbs): 100,000 Dry Weight: 6950 Stroke Length: 6 TI-2500 MSI Products is proud to introduce the TI-2500 Well Stimulation Pump. We designed this pump for the well stimulation (Frac) industry. The TI-2500 has higher rod load capability than other Frac pumps in the industry. The higher rod load capability was accomplished by designing larger journal bearings and using higher load carrying roller bearings. We designed this pump with a single side gear box for a specific reason. Since the bull gear is fully supported by the gearbox, we eliminated a 38,000 foot pound bending force from the crankshaft that is inherent in a dual bull gear arrangement. We also eliminated stay bolts from the design. The fluid end is fully supported by the power end, which results in better alignment between the crosshead bores and the plunger packing. The bolts used to attach the fluid end to the power frame are high strength bolts with bolt load indicators manufactured into the bolts. This allows for in-service monitoring of bolt torque condition. It also allows proper tightening without relying on torque wrenches. All components of the pump were designed using Finite Element Analysis to assure long pump life. The result is a very rugged, heavy duty frac pump with a weight the same or lower than competitors 2000 horsepower range pumps! The TI-2500, as with all our pumps, comes from the factory fully run in, and tested, ready to mount on your truck and go to work. This pump, again like all our pumps, comes with all the tools required for normal maintenance, as well as your choice of suction manifolds, discharge flanges and with or without a gage connection. MSI TI-2500 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Rated Brake Horse Power: 2500 Plunger Sizes: 4-1/2 to 6-1/2 Gear Ratio: 6.35:1 Maximum Rod Load (lbs): 250,000 Dry Weight: 12,500 Stroke Length: 8
