Lots of manufacturers, all the big stuff is engineered to application specific designs (custom).
Big names in API pumps are Flowserve, Sulzer, Clyde union, etc.
Flowserve bought up almost all the competition.
The big names for compressors are Elliott, Dresser, AC, IR, Cooper Bessemer.
Everything is spared except the really expensive stuff (over $10 mil).
I'm going to an API dinner meeting tonight at the queen mary, gonna rub elbows the with the guys who write the engineering standards. Smart cookies.
