A fluid conduit system a first conduit section having a first conduit bore extending from a first end of the first conduit section to a second end of the first conduit section, the first conduit bore including a first beveled surface proximate the first end of the first conduit section. The fluid system also includes a second conduit section coupled to the first conduit section and having a second conduit bore extending from a first end of the second conduit section to a second end of the second conduit section, the second conduit bore including a second beveled surface proximate the first end of the second conduit section. The fluid system further includes a coating applied to the first beveled surface and to the second beveled surface.

Fluid conduits with selectively coated surfaces

A fracturing manifold system including a first plurality of junctions mounted on a support structure and fluidly connected via conduit, individual ones of the first plurality of junctions configured to receive fracturing fluid from at least one fracturing pump and the first plurality of junctions including a first terminal junction. The fracturing manifold system further includes a fracturing head fluidly connected to the first plurality of junctions. The fracturing manifold system is configurable between a first configuration in which the fracturing head is mounted at a location proximate an end of the support structure and a second configuration in which an additional junction is mounted on the first support structure at the location, the additional junction is fluidly connected to the first plurality of junctions, a second plurality of junctions is fluidly connected to the additional junction, and the fracturing head is fluidly connected to the second plurality of junctions.

Systems and method for providing a modular hydraulic fracturing manifold

A fracturing system includes a plurality of junctions mounted on a chassis, such as a trailer chassis. Pressurized fluid is provided to the plurality of junctions via a plurality of conduits, e.g., from one or more pumps. The junctions and the conduits are independently mounted and independent vibration dampening systems damp vibrations at the individual mounts. Vibration of individual of the junctions may be damped by a first dampening system having first dampening properties and individual of the conduits may be damped by a second dampening system having second dampening properties different from the first dampening properties.
