Abstract
A valve member, and related assemblies, systems, and methods, for a high-power pump may include a valve body having a valve head. The valve head may have a seal engaging surface positioned to receive a valve seal. The seal engaging surface may have a first axial position relative to a valve body axis. The valve head further may have a cavity at least partially defining a cavity interior. The cavity interior may extend between a cavity opening and a cavity end. The cavity interior may extend from the cavity opening at a second axial position spaced from the first axial position of the seal engaging surface and at least partially through the first axial position to the cavity end at a third axial position, thereby to reduce mass of the valve member and substantially maintain the strength of the valve head.
