Mud pumps are widely used in many fields such as petroleum drilling, chemical, food, pharmaceuticals, etc, due to their simple structure, stable operation, low vibration, and low noise. When you buy this equipment, you want to know its performance. What factors determine the performance of the mud pump? What factors affect the price of the mud pump? Let's introduce them below.
Pressure
The pressure of the pump is determined by many factors, including the depth of drilling, the nature of the flushing fluid, and the resistance of the pipes through which the flushing fluid passes. Generally, a pressure gauge is installed on the equipment so that the staff can understand the pressure of the equipment at any time. By observing the changes in pressure, it is possible to judge whether the wellbore is normal and prevent accidents in the wellbore.
Displacement
The displacement of the equipment is calculated based on how many liters are discharged per minute. It is related to the diameter of the drilling, and the speed at which the flushing fluid flows out of the hole bottom. The larger the wellbore diameter, the larger the required displacement. When using it, the rising speed of the flushing fluid should be able to wash away the rock powder and debris cut by the drill bit from the bottom of the hole in time, and carry it reliably to the surface. When drilling geological cores, the upward speed is usually about 0.4-1 m per minute. With the changes in the diameter and depth of the wellbore, the displacement of the pump needs to be adjusted in time. The structure of the mud pump generally comes with a gearbox to adjust its speed to achieve the purpose of changing displacement.
Mud pumps are widely used in the drilling industry and play a very important role in this field. What you care about when buying a mud pump is the price. Some friends found that there is a big difference in the price of mud pumps. In fact, its price is affected by many factors.
The price of mud pumps will be affected by their performance. Mud pumps mostly have dredging functions, but the types and performance are different. Some mud pumps have general dredging efficiency and fewer other functions. Some mud pumps have great dredging efficiency and multiple functions, resulting in differences in prices. This is what we often said, you get what you pay for.
The price of mud pumps is also affected by their model. Although mud pumps of different sizes look similar on the surface, they have significant differences in continuous work and power. Large mud pumps have greater power than small ones and better dredging efficiency. Moreover, large equipment has longer continuous working ability, so the price of large mud pumps is higher than that of small ones.
The price of mud pumps is also closely related to the brand. There are many mud pump brands on the market, and the prices of different brand devices vary.
The above has introduced what factors affect the price of mud pumps. The price of this equipment is affected by many factors. When choosing, you should choose the appropriate equipment according to your actual situation.
