Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001219
A positive displacement pump featuring two pistons or plungers that operate in parallel, providing a more continuous and smoother fluid flow compared to a single-piston pump. These pumps are commonly used in drilling and well intervention for circulating drilling fluids, cementing slurries, or other treatment fluids. They are known for their reliability and ability to handle high pressures.
