overview
A drilling-fluid duty must be reviewed as a complete circulation system: liquid supply, mud properties, pump discharge pressure and the return path all affect selection. The equipment photographs illustrate reciprocating-pump arrangements; the selected drilling-mud model and wetted parts follow the model drawing.

construction
The liquid end and top valve covers are visible in this photograph. The drilling-fluid composition and abrasive solids determine the material and service requirements.
The power-end housing supports reciprocating motion. Specify running speed, lubrication, cooling and the operating cycle for the proposed mud duty.
This supplied family photograph shows an engine driver with radiator and exhaust equipment. Engine rating, cooling and site interfaces require a configuration review.
The flanged manifold provides the piping interface in this arrangement. Confirm connection sizes, pipe supports and access for mud-service maintenance.
duty requirements
Provide mud density, viscosity, solids concentration and particle grading together with circulation flow and discharge pressure. Review inlet supply and abrasion at the liquid end before selecting packing, valves and wetted materials.
