The Mud pump crosshead is the critical part on the power end of the mud pump. It slides in the upper and lower guide plates, motivating the intermediate draw bar to deliver driving force to the hydraulic end. One of its ends fixes the intermediate draw bar. The cavity connects the small end of the connecting rod through cross head pin.

The material of the mud pump crosshead is nodular cast iron with the strength of extension of more than 600MPa, which ensures high intensity and abrasive resistance.

The 2,200-hp mud pump for offshore applications is a single-acting reciprocating triplex mud pump designed for high fluid flow rates, even at low operating speeds, and with a long stroke design. These features reduce the number of load reversals in critical components and increase the life of fluid end parts.

The pump’s critical components are strategically placed to make maintenance and inspection far easier and safer. The two-piece, quick-release piston rod lets you remove the piston without disturbing the liner, minimizing downtime when you’re replacing fluid parts.

Central lubrication manifold system with Stainless Steel tubing for feeding all main, eccentric, and pinion bearings. Pressurized lubrication is also provided to the upper and lower crosshead slide for longer crosshead life

When choosing a size and type of mud pump for your drilling project, there are several factors to consider. These would include not only cost and size of pump that best fits your drilling rig, but also the diameter, depth and hole conditions you are drilling through. I know that this sounds like a lot to consider, but if you are set up the right way before the job starts, you will thank me later.

Recommended practice is to maintain a minimum of 100 to 150 feet per minute of uphole velocity for drill cuttings. Larger diameter wells for irrigation, agriculture or municipalities may violate this rule, because it may not be economically feasible to pump this much mud for the job. Uphole velocity is determined by the flow rate of the mud system, diameter of the borehole and the diameter of the drill pipe. There are many tools, including handbooks, rule of thumb, slide rule calculators and now apps on your handheld device, to calculate velocity. It is always good to remember the time it takes to get the cuttings off the bottom of the well. If you are drilling at 200 feet, then a 100-foot-per-minute velocity means that it would take two minutes to get the cuttings out of the hole. This is always a good reminder of what you are drilling through and how long ago it was that you drilled it. Ground conditions and rock formations are ever changing as you go deeper. Wouldn’t it be nice if they all remained the same?

Centrifugal-style mud pumps are very popular in our industry due to their size and weight, as well as flow rate capacity for an affordable price. There are many models and brands out there, and most of them are very good value. How does a centrifugal mud pump work? The rotation of the impeller accelerates the fluid into the volute or diffuser chamber. The added energy from the acceleration increases the velocity and pressure of the fluid. These pumps are known to be very inefficient. This means that it takes more energy to increase the flow and pressure of the fluid when compared to a piston-style pump. However, you have a significant advantage in flow rates from a centrifugal pump versus a piston pump. If you are drilling deeper wells with heavier cuttings, you will be forced at some point to use a piston-style mud pump. They have much higher efficiencies in transferring the input energy into flow and pressure, therefore resulting in much higher pressure capabilities.

Piston-style mud pumps utilize a piston or plunger that travels back and forth in a chamber known as a cylinder. These pumps are also called “positive displacement” pumps because they literally push the fluid forward. This fluid builds up pressure and forces a spring-loaded valve to open and allow the fluid to escape into the discharge piping of the pump and then down the borehole. Since the expansion process is much smaller (almost insignificant) compared to a centrifugal pump, there is much lower energy loss. Plunger-style pumps can develop upwards of 15,000 psi for well treatments and hydraulic fracturing. Centrifugal pumps, in comparison, usually operate below 300 psi. If you are comparing most drilling pumps, centrifugal pumps operate from 60 to 125 psi and piston pumps operate around 150 to 300 psi. There are many exceptions and special applications for drilling, but these numbers should cover 80 percent of all equipment operating out there.

The restriction of putting a piston-style mud pump onto drilling rigs has always been the physical size and weight to provide adequate flow and pressure to your drilling fluid. Because of this, the industry needed a new solution to this age-old issue.

As the senior design engineer for Ingersoll-Rand’s Deephole Drilling Business Unit, I had the distinct pleasure of working with him and incorporating his Centerline Mud Pump into our drilling rig platforms.

In the late ’90s — and perhaps even earlier —  Ingersoll-Rand had tried several times to develop a hydraulic-driven mud pump that would last an acceptable life- and duty-cycle for a well drilling contractor. With all of our resources and design wisdom, we were unable to solve this problem. Not only did Miller provide a solution, thus saving the size and weight of a typical gear-driven mud pump, he also provided a new offering — a mono-cylinder mud pump. This double-acting piston pump provided as much mud flow and pressure as a standard 5 X 6 duplex pump with incredible size and weight savings.

The true innovation was providing the well driller a solution for their mud pump requirements that was the right size and weight to integrate into both existing and new drilling rigs. Regardless of drill rig manufacturer and hydraulic system design, Centerline has provided a mud pump integration on hundreds of customer’s drilling rigs. Both mono-cylinder and duplex-cylinder pumps can fit nicely on the deck, across the frame or even be configured for under-deck mounting. This would not be possible with conventional mud pump designs.

The second generation design for the Centerline Mud Pump is expected later this year, and I believe it will be a true game changer for this industry. It also will open up the application to many other industries that require a heavier-duty cycle for a piston pump application.

Rain, rain, rain. Some love it, some hate it, but however you feel about muddy ground, learning to ride it well will boost your bike handling skills and help you have more fun out on the trails.

Getting your bike set up for slippery, muddy, wet conditions will give you a head start, and we spoke to top mechanic Joe Krejbich to get his top recommendations for making your mountain bike ready for the wet.

We might not go that far for our weekend rides, but setting your bike up to suit the conditions will give you better traction and handling in the mud, and it’s not difficult to do.

Before you do anything else take a few minutes to ensure that your bike is in good nick, safe and ready to ride. The last thing you want to be doing on a mucky wet trail is fiddling with bolts or risking losing something essential in a muddy puddle, miles from the end of your ride.

“Generally, people drop two or three PSI,” says Krejbich. “A lower tyre pressure allows it to get more grip. Yes, you sacrifice quite a bit of rolling speed, but if the ground is boggy and wet anyway then grip is what you want.”

If you’re carrying a pump with you, you can adjust your tyre pressure on the trail to work out what’s best for the conditions you’re riding. A pressure gauge will also help you to accurately dial-in your pressure.

Most mountain bikes come specced with decent tyres these days, and there are plenty of good all-round tyres that provide traction in mildly muddy conditions without having to go for a full-on mud tyre.

However, if it’s a full-on mud fest and the trail more closely resembles chocolate mousse or slurry, then a winter mountain bike tyre will help you get traction and minimise those skids, slides and crashes.

We’re popping this one on the list for two reasons. Firstly, riding with a face-full of mud isn’t going to help your bike handling; it’s hard to steer if your goggles are covered in crud and you can’t see the trail. Yes, tear-offs can help but why not minimise the flying mud in the first place?

Secondly, if you’re planning on riding for any length of time, mountain bike mudguards will help reduce the amount of gloopy, gritty stuff that makes its way down the back of your jacket and shorts.

Riding in mud can be great, but the damage it can do to your pride and joy ain’t funny. Grit gets into the moving parts and grinds them away, so cleaning your bike regularly, and especially after muddy rides, is crucial.
