Abstract
High pressure pumps and associated check valves for use with, e.g., waterjet systems, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, high pressure pumps configured in accordance with the present disclosure include check valve assemblies that eliminate threaded parts for restricting the motion of check valve components which are subjected to very high pressure variations at relatively high frequencies. Additionally, embodiments of the pumps described herein can include unitary structures that integrate the individual parts associated with multiple cylinders (e.g., cylinders, check valve bodies, etc.) into a single part (e.g., a cylinder manifold, check valve manifold, outlet manifold, etc.) that can substantially reduce the number of different parts required to assemble the pump.
