Pressure Test Pump is a device that uses a high pressure pump to conduct hydraulic tests on pipeline systems, primarily to verify their sealing integrity, strength, and reliability. Below is a detailed introduction to pressure test pumps:
1.Working Principle
The fundamental operating principle of a pressure test pump is based on positive displacement, with the most common types being piston pump and plunger pump. It works through the reciprocating motion of pistons or plungers, drawing water in through the suction port and then forcibly compressing it into the pipeline. As water is continuously injected, the pressure inside the pump gradually increases until it reaches the required test pressure. The pressure test pump maintains this pressure, and engineers monitor the pressure gauge readings over a specified period to determine whether the system is functioning properly.
2.Safety and Quality Control
Strength Verification: Ensures that materials and equipment can operate safely and normally even under pressures exceeding the working range.
Leak Check:After stabilizing the pressure with the test pump, observe whether the pressure remains stable within a specified time frame and check for any signs of leakage.
Standard Compliance:The product must meet industry regulations and comply with national standards.
3.ApplicationThe test pump plays a critical role in the application of blowout preventers (BOPs). Its primary function is to verify whether the BOP can effectively seal the wellhead under high pressure, thereby preventing potential accidents.
4.Precautions
Personnel must keep a safe distance during the test to avoid explosion hazards.
Do not exceed the pressure limit that the test piece can withstand.
Pressurization and depressurization must be carried out slowly.
The pressure test pump is a core tool for ensuring engineering safety and quality inspection. The Elephant pressure test pump can effectively and controllably increase pressure, allowing pipeline systems to gradually and steadily adapt to rising pressure levels. It ensures stable pressure, preventing abnormal pressure values during testing, and is equipped with an overpressure protection system that prioritizes safety while reducing risks in pressure testing.Finally, we warmly welcome you to choose our Elephant reciprocating pump products.

The jet pump and the plunger pump are two different types of pumps, with the main differences reflected in the following aspects:
1.Working Principle
Jet Pump: It is a fluid pressurization device that primarily utilizes high-pressure working fluids (water, air, steam) to generate a high-speed jet through a nozzle, which enters a high-pressure chamber, thereby increasing the pressure to meet operational requirements. It relies entirely on the dynamic motion between fluids. It has strong self-priming capability and can handle gas-liquid mixed fluids.
Plunger Pump: The motor drives the pump's crankshaft to rotate via large and small pulleys and a narrow belt. The crankshaft then drives the connecting rod and plunger to perform reciprocating motion. When the plunger moves backward, the inlet valve opens, allowing liquid to enter the pump body until the plunger reaches its rearmost position (180° rotation of the crankshaft), completing the suction process. The plunger then begins to move forward, compressing the liquid in the pump's valve chamber, increasing the pressure. As a result, the inlet valve closes, and the discharge valve opens, allowing the liquid to be pushed out by the plunger through the discharge valve. The flow rate can be adjusted by changing the size of the plunger.
2.Structural Differences
Jet Pump: Simple in structure, primarily generates power through fluid movement, with lower maintenance costs in the long run (no vulnerable parts) and lower sealing requirements.
Plunger Pump: Mainly generates power through the reciprocating motion of the plunger. Compared to the jet pump, it has higher long-term maintenance costs and extremely high sealing requirements to prevent plunger leakage.
3.Application Scenarios
Jet Pump: Deep well water extraction, chemical industry (capable of transporting corrosive media,etc).
Plunger Pump: High-pressure cleaning, petroleum industry (mud pump, water injection pump, etc.), water well drilling, etc.
The jet pump primarily relies on hydrodynamic force for operation, making it suitable for simple working conditions and offering corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the plunger pump operates through the reciprocating motion of a plunger, making it ideal for high-pressure, high-efficiency, and stable-flow applications. You can choose the appropriate pump based on different working conditions and requirements. Elephant Machinery offers both plunger pump and jetting pump in our product lineup.

A piston mud pump, also known as a reciprocating mud pump, is a type of positive displacement pump commonly used in various industries, particularly in drilling operations. It is designed to handle the demanding task of circulating drilling mud with high pressure and flow rates.
The piston mud pump derives its name from the reciprocating motion of the pistons inside the pump. These pistons move back and forth in synchronization, creating alternating suction and discharge strokes. As a result, the pump effectively pushes the drilling mud through the system, maintaining circulation and delivering it to the desired location.
The design of a piston mud pump typically consists of multiple cylinders or fluid chambers, each housing a piston. When the piston moves back, it creates a vacuum that draws the mud into the chamber through an inlet valve.
