Assumptions: BBP Gravel Pump downtime = 8 hrs/overhaul (field-serviceable). Standard Slurry Pump downtime = 24 hrs/overhaul (full disassembly). Overhaul count is rounded to two decimal places; partial intervals are prorated.

Disclaimer: Actual costs vary by application, slurry abrasivity, solids concentration, and site conditions. This calculator provides directional estimates only. Contact BBP for application-specific TCO analysis.
