Slippage Table
Shows slippage (bbl/day) at each SPM from 1 to maximum, allowing you to see how slippage increases with pump speed.Efficiency Chart
Visual graph showing:- Pump Efficiency (%) vs. SPM
- Slippage (bbl/day) vs. SPM
Use Cases
- Diagnose worn pump conditions
- Evaluate clearance impact on efficiency
- Optimize SPM for minimum slippage
- Compare pump designs
