3L4, 3L6, 3L8 & 3L10 Progressive Cavity Drilling Pumps
Application guidance for the progressive cavity pump sizes commonly used for water-well, geothermal and drilling-fluid service.
Four key sizes for drilling-fluid applications
The 3L4, 3L6, 3L8 and 3L10 are widely recognized progressive cavity pump sizes for drilling-related service. ACCA supports these applications with replacement pumps and components intended for demanding mud, bentonite and solids-bearing fluid duties. Final selection should be based on required capacity, pressure, fluid properties and operating speed rather than model designation alone.
Select the size around capacity, pressure and fluid behavior
Drilling mud can change viscosity, density and solids loading as the operation progresses. Pump speed must allow adequate cavity filling while providing the required flow. Abrasive solids, differential pressure and suction conditions influence component wear and achievable operating range.
