Different Types Of drilling rig mud pumps For Sale

Oil well drilling depends on many equipment and drilling rig mud pumps form an intrinsic part of operations. Reciprocating pumps that basically circulate mud, the drilling rig mud pumps offer continuous service to contractors with robust and rugged build. At Waters International, Inc our mission of featuring only the very best equipment on our site continues, with satisfied customers vouching for the build quality and performance of drilling rig mud pumps that we put up on offer. Here is a brief outline on the different types that are available in the market.

Triplex mud pump – At Waters International, Inc we have always believed in offering the right suggestions to clients. Hence, for drilling applications that require very high pump pressures, the triplex mud pump would be the most suitable. The most commonly used applications of triplex mud pumps are oil drilling, where it works by reducing the volume of the working fluid so as to generate adequate pressure for the purpose of producing the flow.  The triplex mud pump comprises three pistons, and the middle piston generates more pressure to a crankshaft. But, operators need to be cautious of high piston load, where the application of disproportionate pressure can result in the failure of the crankshaft.

Quintuplex mud pumps – Quintuplex mud pumps are typically used in operations where the fluid needs to be pumped during drilling operations. The pumps function in what is called as continuous duty return piston mode.  By virtue of being a quintuplex or five sheave models, the pump requires crankshaft support, which is provided by external bearings. 

Duplex mud pump – Duplex mud pumps are generally used by contractors and operators to facilitate the circulation of mud that is drilled. The supply of liquid needs to reach the bottom of the well from its source, viz., the mud cleaning system. Duplex mud pumps are considered as technology that is old, however, the feature of the pumps that can work on either electricity or diesel, makes it a good choice. At Waters International, Inc we have always looked at equipment that require less maintenance and this fits the bill as one that demands the least maintenance.
