What Are Reciprocating Pumps?

Reciprocating pumps are positive displacement pumps that use a piston, plunger, or diaphragm to move fluid through a cylindrical chamber. The reciprocating motion creates a vacuum on the suction stroke and displaces fluid under high pressure on the discharge stroke.

Unlike centrifugal pumps — which rely on velocity and are limited by system resistance — reciprocating pumps deliver a constant, pulsating flow regardless of discharge pressure. This makes them the preferred technology for high-pressure, low-flow services where accuracy, repeatability and reliability are critical.

Petropedam reciprocating pumps are engineered for viscous fluids, abrasive slurries, and shear-sensitive media, and are deployed across oil & gas, petrochemical, refining and drilling operations worldwide.

How to Select a Reciprocating Pump

Six engineering parameters determine the correct API 674 pump model for your process. Our engineering team supports selection from first datasheet to commissioning.

01

Flow Rate & Pressure

Define required m³/h and discharge pressure (bar). Reciprocating pumps are typically chosen for pressures above 100 bar and low-to-medium flows.

02

Fluid Properties

Viscosity, density, temperature, solids content, corrosivity and lubricity drive plunger vs. piston vs. diaphragm selection and materials.

03

Drive Type

Electric motor, diesel engine or steam-driven — selected based on available utilities, hazardous area classification and location.

04

Configuration

Simplex, duplex, triplex or quintuplex. Triplex is the industry standard for smooth flow, low pulsation and high availability.

05

Materials of Construction

Carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex stainless, or exotic alloys. Full material traceability and NACE compliance available on request.

06

Standards & Documentation

API 674 design, ISO 9001 manufacturing, hydrostatic and performance testing with full test reports and certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions about Petropedam API 674 reciprocating pumps.

API 674 is the American Petroleum Institute standard covering reciprocating positive displacement pumps for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas service. It defines design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation requirements. Petropedam manufactures reciprocating pumps in full compliance with API 674.
Depending on model and configuration, Petropedam reciprocating pumps are rated up to 800 bar. The F1600 and TH 1600 Triplex 300 triplex plunger pumps are rated for 500 bar, while standard plunger models reach 800 bar.
A triplex pump uses three plungers arranged in parallel, delivering smoother flow and reduced pulsation. A duplex pump uses two plungers and is typically chosen for lower flow rates or legacy installations. Triplex configurations dominate modern high-pressure oil & gas service.
Oil & gas production, petrochemical plants, refineries, chemical processing, power generation, mining, water injection, pipeline service, marine & offshore and drilling operations.
Yes. Reciprocating positive displacement pumps are well suited to viscous crude, bitumen, polymers, slurries and abrasive fluids because flow is independent of discharge pressure and the fluid is displaced mechanically rather than centrifugally.
A steam-driven reciprocating pump uses steam as the prime mover instead of an electric motor. It is preferred in remote, hazardous or unpowered locations such as offshore platforms, well sites and refinery units where a reliable steam header exists.
Every pump undergoes hydrostatic pressure testing, performance testing (flow, pressure, efficiency) and non-destructive examination — including MPI, dye penetrant and ultrasonic testing where required. Full test reports and material certificates are provided.
Yes. Petropedam supplies genuine spare parts including plungers, pistons, packing, valves, seals, gaskets, bearings and complete repair kits. Reverse engineering is available for obsolete or third-party equipment.
