Note: For pump output in m3/stroke, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
The pistons on a duplex mud pump work in both directions, so that the rear cylinder has the
pump rod moving through its swept volume and occupying some volume. The difference in
calculations for a duplex vs. a triplex pump is that the displacement volume of this pump rod
must be subtracted from the volume in one of the cylinders, plus the difference in number of
pumping cylinders; 4 for a duplex and 3 for a triplex. Duplex pumps generally have longer
strokes (in the 10 to 18 in. range) and operate at lower rate; in the 40 to 80 stroke/min
range.
Where:
ID = ID of the liner
OD = OD of the rod
L = Length of the pump stroke
Eff = Pump efficiency (decimal)

Note: For pump output in m3/stroke, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.
The pistons on a triplex mud pump work only on the forward stroke, and generally have
short strokes (in the 6-12 inch range) and operate at rates in the 60-120 stroke/minute
range.

ID = ID of the liner
L = Length of the pump stroke
