NOV 12-P-160 Mud Pump

A heavy-duty triplex reciprocating mud pump designed for demanding oilfield drilling applications. The NOV 12-P-160 combines a rugged three-cylinder power end with a high-pressure fluid end, providing reliable drilling-fluid circulation for land and offshore drilling operations. The pump is engineered for continuous-duty service and can be configured for a range of liner and piston combinations to optimize pressure, flow, and hydraulic horsepower.
