Centrifugal Process Pump
A centrifugal pump is a mechanical device designed to move a fluid by means of the transfer of rotational energy from one or more driven rotors, called impellers. Fluid enters the rapidly rotating impeller along its axis and is cast out by centrifugal force along its circumference through the impeller’s vane tips. The action of the impeller increases the fluid’s velocity and pressure and also directs it towards the pump outlet.
Mud / Sewage Pump
Mud pumps are the most important equipment for providing bit hydraulics required for achieving hole cleaning and a high rate of penetration. They should be selected on the basis of flow rates and circulating pressures required at different stages of hole making. Pump power should also be checked. This chapter provides drilling engineers with guidelines for mud pump selection.
Gear Pump
Gear pumps are used mainly on high-viscosity products where the sample has some lubricating properties. They can generate high pressures for low flow rates and are used extensively for hydrocarbon samples ranging from diesel oil to the heaviest fuel oils.
Hydraulic Test pump
A hydraulic test pump is a device used to test for leaks or defects in pipes, tubes, hoses, cylinders, and other components. It works by slowly increasing the pressure of an incompressible liquid, like water or oil, in the component being tested. The pressure is then held for a set amount of time, and the component is visually inspected for leaks or pressure loss.
