What is a Duplex Pump?
A duplex pump is a type of reciprocating pump that has two cylinders. The pump has two sets of suction and discharge valves, and the pistons are connected to a single crankshaft. The pump is designed to deliver a constant flow rate, which is ideal for applications that require a steady flow of fluid.
Duplex pumps are commonly used in the oil and gas industry for various applications, including cementing, acidizing, and well stimulation. The pumps are designed to handle a wide range of fluids, including water, oil, and drilling mud. They are also used in other industries, such as manufacturing, agriculture, and mining.

Formula:
The output (Q) of a duplex pump is calculated using the formula:
Q = 0.000162 x L x 2 x ((D^2) - (d^2)) x (E/100)
Variables:
- L: Stroke Length (in)
- D: Liner Diameter (in)
- d: Rod Diameter (in)
- E: Efficiency (%)
