360° Rotation Angle API Oilfield Drilling Mud Gun

Brief of oilfield drilling mud gun

Mud gun is a mud precipitation solids control equipment along with mud agitator in oil and gas drilling process. Its main power are source of mud pump or jet mud mixer. This equipment has simple structure, flexible operation, and can prevent mud precipitation in the corner. Generally mud guns include high pressure mud guns and low pressure mud guns. In the solids control system, drilling fluids or drilling mud are sprayed and stirred by mud gun. It can stir the mud of tank bottom uniformly, especially inside the sub-warehouse under the last solid phase control equipment.
TRNJQ mud gun has simple structure, flexible operation, and can prevent mud precipitation in the corner. Generally mud guns include high pressure mud guns and low pressure mud guns. Drilling fluids through the nozzle produce high-speed flow for achieving the purpose of mixing drilling fluids. The pressure and flow rate are transmitted by the high pressure main drilling pump or by centrifugal pumps in most cases.

Function of oilfield drilling mud gun

The function of mud gun is striking the sediment at the bottom of circulation tank with certain pressure which supplied by triplex pump or centrifugal pump,and then mixing the drilling liquid evenly by agitation of the agitator.It also can be used to wash the sand setting of the tank.

A mud gun is designed for use in a solids control system of a drilling rig. It is a tool which is mainly used for mixing drilling mud in the circulatory system and to prevent the mud from precipitating. The structure of equipment is simple offering flexible operation and easy use. A mud gun is commonly used to guard against precipitates in a solids control system. The mud gun is installed in a mud tank.

Furthermore, it is usually used together with mud agitator. The mud agitator is used in the middle of the tank while the mud gun is placed in the corner of the tank.

Application of drilling mud gun

In mud system, the mud guns are agitation and transfer device of drilling mud. Between tanks or compartments. No dead corner, high efficiency. Mud guns are also referred to mud mixing gun. They are widely used in drilling fluids system. Process drilling mud on mud tank. They are usually operated together with mud agitator. Almost every 3 meter will request one set gun along with agitator. Similar as mud agitator, there is no gun fit on shaker tank.

How to configure a oilfield drilling mud gun ?

First, we need to comfirm the nozzles of mud gun. If NJQ50, the mud gun line is 2''. Thne do we need 1 or 3 nozzles. Do we need to confirm do we need the normal pressure mud gun or the high pressure mud gun? The materials and the valves will be different based on the different requirements. Furthermore, the mud gun length, the mud gun height and the connection pipe position. Finally, we confirm the mud gun quantity for a tank or for a system. Usually we decide this according to mud agitators number

Another important factor to consider is the installation way. Some clients request the bottom type, some clients request the pivot type, while some clients prefer the non spin type. Please tell us your detail requirements, or you can consult the professional engineer before ordering.

Installation of APNJQ drilling mud gun

The oilfield mud guns installation way, bottom and pivot type are more popular. Please check below sketch for more reference. Difference of installation.will lead different operation way. Considering convenient operation, we'll provide the mud guns mounted handle and the butterfly valve.

NJQ50 and NJQ80 difference is the pipe diameter, the valve size. All other main features and specifications are same.
