The mud gun drilling relies on the high-pressure liquid flow in the mud pipeline to generate high-pressure jet impact force through the mud gun nozzle, flushing the sediment at the bottom of the drilling mud tank to suspend it. The main functions of the mud gun are: assisting the mud agitator; preventing sediment from settling in the corners of the mud tank, the bottom edge of the mud tank, and the suction port of each pump, and then stirring it evenly by the agitator. For a period of time after the agitator stops running, the agitator impeller will be buried by the precipitated sediment. Before it needs to be re-run, the mud gun can reduce some of the resistance when the agitator is started, which provides a guarantee for normal operation.
Classification of mud gun drilling
Mud gun drilling is divided into high-pressure guns and low-pressure guns. The high-pressure mud gun is supplied by the drilling pump discharge branch, and its pressure level can reach 1~6MPa; as for the low-pressure gun, it is supplied by the sand pump, and its working pressure level is 0.2~0.3MPa. In general, the number of mud guns should be determined according to the number of mud agitators.
The drilling mud mixing gun is mainly used to prevent mud from settling in the drilling mud tank. It is a special tool for tank bottom flushing. There are three types of mud guns: low-pressure mud guns, medium-pressure mud guns and high-pressure mud guns. The mud guns produced have good spraying effect and large cleaning area. The equipment has a simple structure, flexible operation and easy use.
The mud gun and mud tank are used together.
How to install a mud gun
The drilling fluid gun is usually installed about 6in (about 15cm) from the bottom of the tank and has a 360° tap that can adjust the direction and stir the dead point. Dead points may occur in right-angle tanks due to insufficient mechanical stirring or some piping or mechanical accidents.
