Pump Selector
Enter the flow and pressure your job calls for — we match mud, HDD and well-service pumps whose rated capacity covers your duty point with a professional safety margin, recommend the liner size where a liner table exists, and check the power demand.
Derive pressure from well data
Reference only — hydrostatic head, not a well-control figure.
How to use
- Take the duty point from your mud program: the flow rate and standpipe pressure the well plan calls for. No pressure figure yet? Open the derivation panel and estimate it from well depth and mud weight.
- Enter flow and pressure in the units your program uses — GPM, L/s or m³/h for flow; PSI, bar or MPa for pressure. We convert to pump-table units behind the scenes.
- Tick continuous duty when the pump circulates around the clock — we tighten the safety margin from 10% to 20%, per API practice for continuous service.
- Where a liner table exists, we recommend the liner whose pressure rating sits at 115%–165% of your duty pressure — the economic wear zone. Running a liner above 85% of its rating shortens liner and piston life sharply.
- We check the power demand: hydraulic horsepower P×Q/1714, divided by 0.9 mechanical efficiency, must stay within the pump’s rated input power with margin — underpowered matches are excluded.
- Results assume the manufacturer’s rated SPM and a 90% mechanical / 100% volumetric efficiency basis, as published in the rating tables.
- Only part of our range has published ratings online. Models without ratings appear in the “ratings on request” section — we match them manually against OEM documentation.
