  2. Oil well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_well_control

    Pump pressure, which is also referred to as system pressure loss, is the sum total of all the pressure losses from the oil well surface equipment, the drill pipe, the drill collar, the drill bit, and annular friction losses around the drill collar and drill pipe. It measures the system pressure loss at the start of the circulating system and ...

  4. Well control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well_control

    The combination of the downward movement of the tubing and the upward movement of the fluid (or piston effect) results in an increase in pressure throughout the well. This increase in pressure is commonly called Surge pressure. Upward movement of the tubing (tripping out) also affects the pressure at the bottom of the well.

  7. Hand pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_pump

    A hand pump opens access to deeper groundwater that is often not polluted and also improves the safety of a well by protecting the water source from contaminated buckets. Pumps such as the Afridev pump are designed to be cheap to build and install, and easy to maintain with simple parts.

  8. Pressure switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_switch

    A pressure switch will have a hysteresis, that is, a differential range around its setpoint, known as the switch's deadband, inside which small changes of pressure do not influence the state of the contacts. Some types allow adjustment of the differential. [1] The pressure-sensing element of a pressure switch may be arranged to respond to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

    A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.
