ECHOMETER QRod 2.4

QRod, new in Spanish for 2006, is the most widely used, program for the design and prediction of the performance of Sucker Rod Beam Pumping Installations. Echometer has released an updated version 2.4 of QRod that allows the displays of both the input and output in either English or Spanish. The QRod version 2.4 for the PC can be used free of charge. The software can be downloaded for installation and use on any numbers of PCs.

QRod's objective is to help the beam pumping system designer implement state of the art design technology without getting buried with details. The program uses a wave equation solution to accurately predict the surface dynamometer loads, gearbox torque and pump capacity, with a minimum amount of input. The effect of changing a parameter such as tubing anchor, stroke length, stroke rate, and pump diameter can be immediately seen in the dynamically updated plots. Available as a software option in QRod for the PC, the user can select the output and display language. The output of the QRod program includes pump displacement, rod string loading, surface unit and motor size requirements for any input depth and design production rate.

The current version of Echometer QRod is 2.4.2362.  You can check your version of QRod by going to "About QRod" on the Help menu.
