Higher Pressures & Longer Operation Make Frac Pump Fluid End Maintenance Critical

摘要

The fluid ends of hydraulic fracturing (frac) pumps must contain enormous pressure and move a large volume of abrasive fluid that is high in solids content. Frac pumps were originally designed for intermittent service of no more than six to eight hours per day. Today's pumps operate many more hours per day, and careful maintenance of the fluid ends is required for successful operation.
