Abstract:A new generation drilling mud pump has been designed and full scale prototype tested. The test program has confirmed the feasibility of the new concept and the special features.The pump, which is a piston pump, controls the pumped flow by changing piston stroke rather than speed and therefore eliminates the need for SCR systems.A membrane prevents the drilling fluid from coming into contact with piston. and cylinder, thus eliminating the liner wear problem.The pulsation in mud discharge is reduced and at const… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
