Abstract:

This invention relates to a method of fabricating or machining the fluid end of a high pressure pump and a fluid end produced by the method. The method includes sculpturing the front side of the fluid end which results in a non-planar surface. In this manner the internal stresses can be varied at critical points within the fluid end.
