What is the difference between a mud pump and a slurry pump

The main differences between Mud Pumps and mortar pumps are as follows:

1, The slurry pump is a cantilevered single-stage single-suction centrifugal pump, designed and developed for conveying corrosive media containing fine particles. the pump is made of steel lined with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE), which is the latest generation of corrosion and abrasion-resistant engineering plastics for pumps, and the most prominent advantage is that it has the most excellent abrasion and impact resistance among all plastics (especially low-temperature impact resistance), Creep resistance, (environmental stress cracking) and excellent corrosion resistance.

slurry pump is a kind of pump that can adapt to different working conditions, such as conveying acid, alkaline clear liquid or slurry; all kinds of corrosive slurry and dilute acid and so on. The pump is both corrosion-resistant and abrasion-resistant, with a wide range of uses.

2, Mud pump is also a broad concept of a common pump, different regions, habits, and ultimately involved in the pump type will not be the same, this article that elaborates on the mud pump is most of the sense of a pump type: oil drilling in the field of the application of the mud pump. In fact, sewage pumps, slurry pumps and other non-clean water pumps and mud pumps in the name of the common time. This article describes to the reader the mud pumps in the field of drilling.

In the commonly used positive circulation drilling, it is the surface flushing medium - water, mud or polymer flushing fluid under a certain pressure, through the high-pressure hose, faucet and the center hole of the drill pipe column straight to the bottom of the drill bit, in order to achieve the cooling of the drill bit, the cutting down of the rock debris to remove and transport to the surface of the purpose.

Commonly used mud pumps are piston or plunger type, driven by the power engine pump crankshaft slewing, crankshaft through the crosshead and then drive the piston or plunger in the pump cylinder to do reciprocating motion. Under the alternate action of suction and discharge valves, the purpose of pressurizing and circulating the flushing liquid is realized.
