Pump Output1

The documents provide information on calculating the output of duplex and triplex mud pumps. Duplex pumps have two cylinders and generally have longer strokes between 10-18 inches and operate at lower rates between 40-80 strokes per minute. The output calculation accounts for the displaced volume of the pump rod. Triplex pumps have three cylinders and shorter strokes between 6-12 inches, operating at higher rates between 60-120 strokes per minute. Charts give the output in litres per stroke for different liner diameters and stroke lengths when operating at 90% efficiency for duplex pumps and 100% efficiency for triplex pumps.

Duplex Mud Pumps

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.

The general equation to calculate output of a duplex pump is:

Pump output (litres/stroke) =


,

Where:
ID = ID of the liner
OD = OD of the rod
L = Length of the pump stroke
Eff = Pump efficiency (decimal)

Triplex Mud Pumps

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.

The general equation to calculate output of a triplex pump is:

Pump output (litres/stroke) =


,

Where:

ID = ID of the liner
L = Length of the pump stroke
Eff = Pump efficiency (decimal)
