Figure 2-5 Gd 3000 Fluid End - Gardner Denver GD-3000 Operating And Service Manual

FLUID END (FIGURE 2-5)
This fluid end incorporates a modern
through stud design, which eliminates the
weight of the traditional flange fluid ends
and simplifies installation and removal of tie
bolt nuts. HYTORC turbine style nuts are
used to provide much improved method of
fastening. These nuts eliminate the use of
hammer wrenches and galling problems
associated with old style tie bolt nuts.
The conventional valve
configuration offers field proven arrange-
ment
performance. Improvements in the fluid end
life come from increasing fluid cylinder
cross sections in areas of
stresses and new high quality low sulfur,
higher nickel and molybdenum content
steels.
metallurgical control allow us to obtain
steels
compositions and mechanical properties.
This forging has higher tensile, yield,
hardness and impacts than conventional
frac service forgings.
