This page explains how Pump Fluid End (Wet End) is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
The high-pressure section of a mud pump where drilling fluid is pressurized and discharged.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Pump Fluid End (Wet End)
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Rated Power | 75–600 kW | Matches pump drive requirement |
| Stroke Length | 100–300 mm | Affects displacement and pressure |
| Max Pump Speed | 120–180 rpm | Higher speed reduces valve life |
| Valve Seat Angle | 45–60 ° | Affects sealing and flowAPI 7K |
| Valve Lift | 10–25 mm | Influences valve closing speed |
| Fluid End Material | ASTM A487 4A | High strength steel for pressureASTM A487 |
| Max Operating Temperature | 80–120 °C | Exceeding reduces seal life |
| Max Operating Pressure | 35–70 MPa | Above this may cause failureAPI 7K |
| Suction Connection Size | 4–8 in | Must match pipingAPI 7K |
| Discharge Connection Size | 2–4 in | Must match pipingAPI 7K |
| Weight | 500–2000 kg | Affects installation and handling |

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The fluid end pressurizes drilling fluid (mud) by drawing it in and forcing it out under high pressure through discharge valves, enabling circulation in drilling operations.
Typical materials include high-strength alloy steel, corrosion-resistant steel alloys, and hardened wear-resistant materials. The fluid end material may be specified as ASTM A487 4A per ASTM A487.
Key parameters include rated power, stroke length, max pump speed, valve seat angle, valve lift, fluid end material, max operating temperature, max operating pressure, suction and discharge connection sizes, and weight. These must be confirmed with the manufacturer for the specific model.
Exceeding these limits can reduce seal life or cause component failure, to downtime and safety risks. Always verify the limits with the manufacturer.
