API 674 Reciprocating Pumps
API 674 specifies requirements for reciprocating positive displacement pumps used in the oil and gas industry. These pumps are ideal for high-pressure applications.
Types of API 674 Reciprocating Pumps
- Plunger Pumps: Utilize plungers to move fluid through the pump.
- Piston Pumps: Operate similarly to plunger pumps but use a piston mechanism.
Applications of API 674 Reciprocating Pumps
- High-pressure injection
- Chemical dosing
- Hydraulic systems
- Oil and gas production
Advantages of API 674 Reciprocating Pumps
- High efficiency and reliability
- Suitable for high-pressure applications
- Can handle a wide range of fluids, including abrasive and corrosive ones
