This disclosure presents a pumping system that includes a plunger disposed in a pressure cylinder that is operable to be displaced in a suction and a discharge stroke. A packing seal is disposed between the plunger and the pressure cylinder. A valve block is disposed separate from the pressure cylinder and houses a suction valve and a discharge valve. A conduit fluidly couples the pressure cylinder with the valve block.

Pumping system having remote valve blocks

A linear pump includes a centrally-disposed drive system and a plunger having a center portion coupled to the drive system, and first and second fluid ends disposed at the first and second ends of the plunger. The pump further includes first and second packing seals each being disposed about the plunger to isolate fluids within the respective first and second fluid ends. First and second adapters are disposed at an interface between the drive system and respective first and second fluid ends, each adapter incorporating an angled deflector configured to deflect and redirect high-pressure fluids escaping past the respective packing seal toward the drive system.

A quick-connector assembly for joining abutting flanged ends of two tubular members includes first and second connector portions joined by a rotatable hinge having a hinge pin coupling the first connector portion and the second connector portion so that the first and second connector portions encircle about abutting flanged ends of the tubular members when the first and second connector portions are in a closed position. Further, a stand having a bracket with at least one hole for accommodating the hinge pin is designed to at least partially support the weight of the connector assembly and the flanged ends of the tubular members.

Hinged quick-release connector

An intermittent flushing plunger packing assembly is described herein. The packing assembly includes a plurality of annular seals disposed about the plunger configured to reciprocate along a linear axis within the fluid bore of the pump, and an annular packing nut disposed circumferentially about the plunger and configured to retain the plurality of annular seals and adjust a combined height of the plurality of annular seals. A selected one of the plurality of annular seals proximate to the fluid cylinder of the pump has a flushing fluid chamber in fluid communication with a flushing fluid port coupled to a first one-way check valve allowing a pressurized flushing fluid to be introduced and retained within the flushing fluid chamber and creating a fluid barrier to prevent frac fluid in the fluid cylinder from bypassing the annular seals.

Intermittent flushing plunger packing assembly

A valve seat for use in a fluid end of a fracturing pump that includes a first body portion having an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall forms a fluid bore and outer wall is configured to contact an inside surface of a fluid passageway of a fluid end of the fracturing pump for support therein. The seat further includes a second body portion extending from the first body portion, the second body having a frustro-conical portion forming a seating surface for receiving a valve. A portion of the first and second body portion includes a hardened material insert forming a portion of the seating surface and a portion of the inner wall of the first body, and further includes a metallic body portion affixed to the hardened material insert, the metallic body portion forming at least a portion of first body portion outer wall.
