To meet the evolving needs of its customers, FMC continually invests in Research and Development (R&D). This industry-leading effort has resulted in a host of new products and refinements to existing products. All new products are subjected to exhaustive laboratory and field tests to ensure their reliability and integrity before they are released to the marketplace. The R&D capabilities include exhaustive laboratory and field testing, destructive and non-destructive testing, three-dimensional finite element analysis, computational fluid dynamics, and the flowline industry's only high-velocity flow loop.
The hammerless union is the next generation of union products targeted at eliminating the use of sledge hammer in making up high pressure temporary flowline connections in the field.
This product is offered as an alternative to the wing union and addresses all hammer related problems. It minimizes opportunities for accidents while providing a viable solution that could be quickly and easily implemented. Every detachable wing union connection can be easily upgraded to the new Hammerless connection by merely replacing the existing wing nut with a hammerless nut. No other changes to the existing iron are required!

FMC Technologies’ Flowline Choke Throttle Valve is a new concept in choke valves. The best attributes of a ported cage choke and a plug valve are combined in this valve. The choke portion of the valve is used to throttle high velocity flows while the plug valve portion of the valve remains full open.

Fluid Control’s well service pump development approach started with a blank sheet of paper. The industry was in need of an entirely new design and not just a tweak of existing problematic one.
FMC Technologies involved its customers during the design and qualification process and incorporated the best technologies existing today to manufacture well service pumps built for today's rugged pumping applications such as fracturing, acidizing and matrix stimulation.
