Abstract
A fluid end of a reciprocating pump includes multiple bores formed therein, and adjacent bores intersect each other. The intersection of two adjacent bores forms an intersection corner, which is where a concentration of high stress occurs during operation of the pump. A novel geometrical shape or geometry of the intersection corner reduces the concentration of stress on the intersection corners. By improving the shape and geometry of the intersection corner, the impact and concentration of the stress can be reduced, thereby improving or lengthening the lifetime of the material in that intersection corner of the fluid end.
