Mud Pump is a type of positive displacement pump that is commonly used in the oil and gas industry for drilling purposes. It is designed to handle high-density drilling fluids, also known as mud, which are essential for maintaining pressure, cooling the drill bit, and removing drill cuttings. Typically powered by a diesel engine, the pump utilizes a piston or plunger to create pressure and force the mud through the drill pipe. Its robust construction and ability to handle abrasive fluids make it a vital component in the drilling process.
