Triplex plunger mud pumps are reciprocating, positive-displacement pumps that use three plungers to move high-viscosity fluids under high pressure. These pumps are commonly used on oil and gas drilling rigs to circulate drilling fluid through the well.
During drilling operations, mud pumps help cool and lubricate the drill bit, carry rock cuttings from the wellbore, and support the control of downhole pressure. They are also used to handle abrasive or corrosive fluids and slurries in applications such as cementing, wastewater treatment, desalination, and industrial cleaning.
DAC Worldwide’s Representative Triplex, Plunger Mud Pump Dissectible (295-418) is an economical, conveniently sized pump assembly designed for hands-on oilfield operations and maintenance training. It introduces learners to maintenance procedures commonly performed on the larger mud pump assemblies used in upstream oil and gas operations.
The dissectible uses an actual industrial triplex plunger pump with geometry, components, and operating characteristics similar to larger pumps encountered in the field. Popular models from well-known manufacturers are selected to provide relevant industrial and oilfield training.
Learners can use the dissectible to study pump operating principles, identify components, and practice complete disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. Maintenance activities include removing and inspecting the plungers, packing, valves, and other internal components.
The Representative Triplex, Plunger Mud Pump Dissectible features a complete, industrial-quality reciprocating pump rated at more than 20 bhp. The pump includes a 0.75-inch plunger, 1.5-inch stroke, and 3-inch cylinder sleeve.
The unit is mounted on a 7-gauge, formed-steel, powder-coated baseplate with provisions for installation on a compatible DAC Worldwide workstation or shop bench. High-durability urethane coatings and replacement plated hardware help the equipment withstand repeated classroom and laboratory use.
Each dissectible also includes an applicable installation and maintenance manual from the original equipment manufacturer.
The dissectible can be mounted on DAC Worldwide’s Extended Electromechanical Workstation (903), providing a convenient location for inspection, disassembly, reassembly, and related maintenance exercises.
Product dimensions and weights are approximate and may vary according to the industrial component supplied.
