The Annular Velocity calculator computes the speed of a fluid's movement in an annulus while pumping based on the pump output (PO), the inner diameter of the pipe (ID), and the outer diameters of the drill pipe (OD)

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

  • (Q)  Pump output which is the flow rate of the pump.
  • (Dh)  Size of the hole, the inner diameter.
  • (Dp)  Outer diameter of the drill pipe.

Annular Velocity (AV): The calculator returns the fluid velocity in feet per minute.  However, this can be automatically converted to other velocity units (e.g. meters per second) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

The formula for the Annular Velocity is :

   AV=24.5ftgalin2QDh2-Dp2AV=24.5ftgalin2QDh2Dp2

where:

  • AV = Annular Velocity
  • Q = pump output (flow rate)
  • Dh = hole size (inner diameter)
  • Dp = drill pipe (outer diameter)
