Notes:
1. Yellow Bar denotes the Low Pulse Height Range, dynamic pulse heights in this range are from 100 to 200 PSI at the Valve.
2. Green Bar denotes the Optimal Range with dynamic pulse heights above 200 PSI, less than the maximum recommended pulse and/or velocities below 60 ft/s.
Exceeding the flow range of the green bar may cause large pulses that could damage the pulsers thrust bearings or result in excessive wash of the valve's parts.
3. Red Bar (cross-hatched) denotes the High Wash Zone. APS defines the High Wash Zone for fixed mount pulsers as a flow velocity between 60 - 70 ft/s.
The end of the red bar is the point where the pulser thrust bearing load limit is exceeded.
4. Please Note that Surface Pulses can be significantly impacted by pulse width, pulsation damper settings, depth, mud properties, and other rig conditions.

This Chart is based on water as the drilling fluid. To predict the pressure for other fluids
scale the pressure by multiplying by the ratio of the fluid density to that of water (specific
weight of the fluid). Example: 10 ppg/8.4 ppg x pressure pulse from chart to estimate
pulse size when using 10 ppg mud.

Notes:
1. Yellow Bar denotes the Low Pulse Height Range, dynamic pulse heights in this range are from 100 to 200 PSI at the Valve.
2. Green Bar denotes the Optimal Range with dynamic pulse heights above 200 PSI, less than the maximum recommended pulse and/or velocities below 60 ft/s.
Exceeding the flow range of the green bar may cause large pulses that could damage the pulsers thrust bearings or result in excessive wash of the valve's parts.
3. Red Bar (cross-hatched) denotes the High Wash Zone. APS defines the High Wash Zone for fixed mount pulsers as a flow velocity between 60 - 70 ft/s.
The end of the red bar is the point where the pulser thrust bearing load limit is exceeded.
4. Please Note that Surface Pulses can be significantly impacted by pulse width, pulsation damper settings, depth, mud properties, and other rig conditions.

scale the pressure by multiplying by the ratio of the fluid density to that of water (specific
weight of the fluid). Example: 10 ppg/8.4 ppg x pressure pulse from chart to estimate pulse

Notes:
1. Yellow Bar denotes the Low Pulse Height Range, dynamic pulse heights in this range are from 690 to 1,380 kPa at the Valve.
2. Green Bar denotes the Optimal Range with dynamic pulse heights above 1,380 kPa, less than the maximum recommended pulse and/or velocities below 18.3 m/s.
Exceeding the flow range of the green bar may cause large pulses that could damage the pulsers thrust bearings or result in excessive wash of the valve's parts.
3. Red Bar (cross-hatched) denotes the High Wash Zone. APS defines the High Wash Zone for fixed mount pulsers as a flow velocity between 18.3 - 21.3 m/s.
The end of the red bar is the point where the pulser thrust bearing load limit is exceeded.
4. Please Note that Surface Pulses can be significantly impacted by pulse width, pulsation damper settings, depth, mud properties, and other rig conditions.
