Duplex pump factor

Input(s)

$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{L}}$: Piston Diameter (in.)

$\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{r}}$: Rod Diameter (in.)

$\mathrm{L}_{\mathrm{S}}$: Stroke Length (in.)

Output(s)

$\mathrm{PF}_{\mathrm{d}}$: Duplex Pump Factor (bbl/stroke)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{PF}_{\mathrm{d}}=\frac{3.1415 * \mathrm{~L}_{\mathrm{S}} *\left(\left(2 * \mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{L}}^{2}\right)-\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{r}}^{2}\right)}{2 * 9702} $$
