A high pressure pump comprising a fluid end mechanically coupled to a power end. The power end is modular and comprises a crankshaft section, a crosshead section, and a connector section coupled together by a first set of stay rods. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each of the plurality of fluid end sections are attached to the power end using a plurality of second set of stay rods.

A gas sediment trap assembly includes a generally cylindrical length with a generally perpendicular tee and a vertically oriented capped portion. The gas sediment trap assembly is coupled to the gas supply line and the gas fired appliance. One or more gas ball valves can be coupled to the gas sediment trap assembly. The gas sediment trap assembly can be used with conventional gas piping, flexible gas piping, and/or other gas line components.

An automatic double-acting valve includes: a valve body, a central duct, passing through the valve body and is equipped with a first opening made in a first end of the valve body and a second opening made in an opposite second end, a peripheral duct made in the valve body, eccentric to the central duct and equipped with a first opening, in a side surface between the first end and the second end, and a second opening in the second end of the valve body, a first blocking body movable at least between a closed position, in which it obstructs the first opening of the central duct, and an open position, a first elastic element configured to generate a force adapted to keep the first blocking body closed, a second blocking body movable at least between a closed position, in which it obstructs the second opening, and an open position.

A pilot valve system is controlled by the pressure differential between a lower chamber and an upper chamber. A fluid passageway in the lower chamber fluidly connects an inlet to first and second outlets. By varying the pressure differential, the placement of a stem within the fluid passageway is varied so fluid can flow between the inlet and only one of the first and second outlets at a time. Pressure in the lower chamber can be varied by using a second fluid to exert pressure against a bottom end of the stem. Pressure in the upper chamber is varied by using an adjusting screw to urge a spring against the diaphragm.

A valve system for use with a cylinder having an extensible rod, includes first and second valve assemblies, each including an inlet/outlet port configured to selectively be coupled with a source of pressurized gas, a check valve biased toward a closed state and having a check valve body at least partially receivable within a first port of the cylinder, a flow control valve positioned in series between the inlet/outlet port and the check valve, and an inlet pilot port connected with the check valve for opening the check valve when supplied with pressurized gas. First and second pilot lines extend to the respective inlet pilot ports from respective outlet pilot ports of the opposite ones of the first and second valve assemblies. When pressurized gas is supplied to the inlet/outlet port of a valve assembly, pressurized gas is also supplied to the opposite inlet pilot port.

A fluid routing plug for use with a fluid end section. The fluid end section being one of a plurality of fluid end sections making up a fluid end side of a high pressure pump. The fluid routing plug is installed within a horizontal bore formed in a fluid end section and is configured to route fluid throughout the fluid end section.

A fluid routing plug for use with a fluid end section. The fluid end section being one of a plurality of fluid end sections making up a fluid end side of a high pressure pump. The fluid routing plug is installed within a horizontal bore formed in a fluid end section and is configured to route fluid between an intake and discharge bore. The fluid routing plug comprises a plurality of first and second fluid passages. The first and second passages do not intersect and are offset from one another. The first fluid passages are configured to direct fluid delivered to the horizontal bore from intake bores towards a reciprocating plunger. The second fluid passages are configured to direct fluid pressurized by the plunger towards a discharge bore.

A hydraulic steering unit is described comprising a housing (1) and a non-return valve (2) having a ball (3) and a valve seat (4) at an end of a channel (5) in the housing (1), wherein a movement of the ball (3) away from the valve seat (4) is limited by an abutment (7) in the channel (5). Such a steering unit should have a non-return valve which can be produced with low costs. To this end the abutment (7) extends transversely through the channel.
