Do You Know How to Maintain and Maintain the API Rod Pump?

2025-07-31

API rod pump, also known as a rod pump, is a type of equipment used for oil pumping, which is mainly composed of a ground drive section, a downhole section, an electronic control section, and supporting tools. API rod pumps can effectively cope with high-viscosity, gas-bearing, and sand-containing crude oil during oil recovery, and are an important tool for modern oil well exploitation. Maintenance and servicing of API rod pumps are essential to ensure their efficient operation and extended service life. So do you know how to maintain and maintain rod pumps?


1. Determine Maintenance Frequency:
Consult the original manufacturer's guidelines and consider scheduling repairs. Choose when a system shuts down if a line or pump needs to be shut down, and use common sense to plan and frequency maintenance times.
2. Routine Inspection:
Inspections are carried out once a day to record the operating sound, leakage and vibration of the pump. Possible problems under the pump can be diagnosed by analyzing the displacement and load curves. Machine learning techniques can help automate this process and improve diagnostic accuracy.
3. Regular Maintenance:
Sucker Insert rod pump: Comprehensive maintenance every 6 months, including inspection and replacement of worn parts.
Replace seals: Regularly inspect and replace worn seals to prevent leaks.
4. Emergency treatment:
Hand oil pump maintenance: After use, it must be pressed back and tightened to prevent air intake or oil leakage.
Motor Inspection: Check the cleanliness of the motor vents and windings, using a megaohmmeter to check for insulation faults.
5. Comprehensive maintenance:
Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Regularly consult and follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and guidelines.
Safe Operation: Ensure that the machine is safely shut down, isolating electrical and hydraulic systems before performing maintenance.
Professional testing: Conduct regular performance testing to detect and solve problems in a timely manner.

 

API rod pump


For the maintenance and maintenance of API rod pumps, we should keep the following precautions in mind:
1. Installation and Inspection:
Before installation, the power supply should be wired correctly and the input voltage should meet the requirements. Check the integrity of the equipment, all parts are installed correctly.
2. Operating specifications:
The inlet and outlet valves are kept fully open before starting the API rod pump to prevent overload or air suction. If it is newly installed or deactivated for a long time, an appropriate amount of lubricant or conveyed liquid should be injected into the pump body before starting, and manually rotated several times before starting.
3. Daily maintenance:
Keep the outside of the API rod pump clean and use clean oil for maintenance. Regularly inspect and clean the oil pump to prevent the medium inside the pump from freezing or hardening. This is essential for the maintenance and maintenance of API rod pumps.

We Dongsheng Petroleum Machinery Co., Ltd. have rich experience in the maintenance and maintenance of API rod pumps, and the stable operation of  API rod pump is an important guarantee for the efficient promotion of oil and gas production. Doing a good job in daily maintenance and regular maintenance can not only effectively reduce the failure rate of equipment and extend the service life, but also reduce production losses caused by downtime and maintenance from the source.
