n: a reciprocating pump for circulating drilling fluids. It operates through cranks and connecting rods by power supplied to its crankshaft from an electric motor or internal-combus- tion engine. It may be a duplex (with two cylinders) or a triplex (with three cylinders). Some mud pumps have double-acting pistons, and some have single-acting pistons that function as plungers.
