HT-400™ Pump
The Industry Standard

Halliburton’s HT-400™ Pump is a lightweight, rugged,

versatile unit that was introduced in 1957. Its name
denotes Horizontal Triplex and its original rating
of 400 horsepower. Since its debut, the basic
design has been improved and upgraded until
it now is rated at 800 hp maximum in some
configurations. The pump has performed
millions of operating hours in fracturing,
acidizing, cementing, and sand and water
control work.

Features
The Halliburton twin-pump or flexibility concept is
particularly useful when precise pumping ranges and
controls are required. Halliburton exclusively manufactured
the HT-400 pump power end, so that practically all parts are
interchangeable. The exception is that the power end case is
built in both left- and right-hand configurations. Internal Fluid end view
parts, including the proven worm/ring gear sets, are
identical, only the case is different.
Power ends can be fitted with any of the five sizes of fluid Spacers are special components designed to separate the
ends – 3 3/8”, 4”, 4 ½”, 5” and 6” plungers – each with fluid end from the power end of the HT-400 pump. The

not contaminate the power end and cause premature failures.

Testing
Each HT-400 pump undergoes rigorous testing
before it is placed in service. Fluid end chambers
are tested individually to pressures far beyond the
anticipated operating pressures and then tested
again when they are assembled into three-chamber
fluid ends. A third test is performed after the fluid
end is attached to the power end assembly.
Power ends are submitted to equally rigorous
testing in a Halliburton test facility. Pumps are run
for over an hour at various speeds and at various
pumping pressures before they are installed on a
unit. After the unit is completed, each pump is
