The American Block K-1000 is an ultra-high pressure triplex mud pump rated at 5000 PSI max working pressure and a max flow of 5000 GPM. It is designed for oil drilling, shale gas fracturing support and deep well engineering, with a core design conforming to the API 7K standard for extreme conditions on land drilling rigs and offshore platforms. A double crankcase design spreads the load evenly and reduces vibration, supporting long continuous operation. The modular fluid end allows fast valve set replacement, and the pump handles oil-based mud, brine drilling fluids and fracturing proppant mixtures; specially coated versions handle acidic completion fluids across a wide pH range. We supply replacement fluid-end parts for the K-1000 to operators across Canada, the United States and international oil and gas markets.
