What is SPM and stroke length in beam pump?

SPM, or strokes per minute, refers to the frequency at which a beam pump operates, indicating how many times the pump cycles in a minute. Stroke length, on the other hand, is the distance the pump's piston travels during each complete cycle. Together, SPM and stroke length determine the pump's overall efficiency and production rate, impacting the volume of fluid extracted over time. Adjusting these parameters can optimize performance for specific well conditions.
