About this document
Mud Pumps in Drilling Engineering by Ali Shan Kakar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Mud pumps are used to circulate drilling fluid under high pressure down the drill string and back up the annulus. There are two main types of mud pumps: triplex pumps and duplex pumps. Triplex pumps have three cylinders and are used offshore, while duplex pumps have two cylinders and are used on land rigs. Triplex pumps are lighter weight and can move larger volumes of mud at higher pressures than duplex pumps. The document then provides details on the pumping mechanisms and calculations for flow rate, pump
