Joint and fluid control device
A joint includes a first block, a second block, and a single pipe section connecting the first block and the second block. The first block, the second block, and the single pipe have a first gas passage and a second gas passage inside therein. The first gas passage is formed so that a first port which opens at an outer surface of the first block, the single pipe section, and a second port which opens at an outer surface of the second block communicate with each other. The second gas passage is formed so that a third port and a fourth port which open at the outer surface of the second block communicate with each other. The second port is disposed between the third port and the fourth port.
FLUID CONDUIT CONNECTOR SYSTEM
A fluid conduit connector includes a monolithic body having a first opening at a first side and a second opening at a second side. A throughbore extends from the first opening to the second opening. A first array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first opening, each hole of the first array of holes terminating within the body. A second array of holes in the first side is positioned around the first array of holes, each hole of the second array of holes extending through the body to the second side.

Manifold header for use at a wellsite
A pumping system for pumping a fluid for a wellsite. The pumping system includes a manifold assembly and pumping systems in fluid communication with the manifold header. The manifold assembly includes a manifold header that includes a manifold header body and outlets. The manifold header body includes an inlet to receive the fluid and an interior bore. Each outlet includes an entrance section shaped to have a profile that is approximately the same as a profile of an inner surface of the manifold header body, an outlet port shaped to flow the fluid approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the manifold header body, and a transition section shaped to have a radius of curvature that transitions from the profile of the entrance section to the outlet port and reduces internal erosion of the outlet due to the fluid flowing from the manifold header and through the outlet port.

Method of proofing an innerduct/microduct and proofing manifold
A proofing air jet having a hollow elongated body having an air outlet and a suction inlet, the air outlet opposing the suction inlet, a pressurized air inlet into the body between the air outlet and the suction inlet, the pressurized air inlet being angled with respect to the hollow elongated body to flow pressurized air in a direction from the pressurized air inlet to the air outlet and provide a suction at the suction inlet, the air outlet having an innerduct/microduct connector for connecting to an opening of the innerduct/microduct, and the suction inlet having a string inlet configured to accept string. A plurality of the proofing air jets can be connected to a manifold.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO REDUCE ACOUSTIC RESONANCE OR DISRUPT STANDING WAVE FORMATION IN A FLUID MANIFOLD OF A HIGH-PRESSURE FRACTURING SYSTEM
An example fluid manifold, for a fracturing system, includes one or more spool sections and a flow passage at least partially defined by the spool sections that extends along a longitudinal axis. In addition, the manifold includes a first flow altering assembly positioned along the flow passage and including a diverter surface positioned to divert fluid radially away from the axis. Further, the manifold includes a second flow altering assembly positioned along the flow passage and spaced from the first flow altering assembly. The second flow altering assembly includes an annular flange and a flow altering tube extending axially from the annular flange such that the annular flange and the flow altering tube define an annular cavity that extends radially between the flow altering tube and an inner wall of the flow passage and that extends axially along the flow altering tube to the annular flange.

Hydraulic component with a component housing and a connection block
A hydraulic component includes a component housing and a connection block. The component housing has an outer surface and an axial bore. At least one connecting channel extends from the outer surface to the axial bore. The connection block has a housing side with at least one connection bore, where the connection bore is in fluidic connection with the at least one connection channel. The outer surface of the component housing has a non-planar shape at least in the area of the at least one connecting channel, where at least one connecting bushing with a through hole is received in the at least one connecting channel and extends into the at least one connecting bore.
System and Method for a Simplified High Pressure Monobore Multiport Pod Missile
A modular multiport pod missile includes a plurality of pipe sections securable together to form a conduit for transporting a fluid in a generally horizonal direction of travel, and at least one pod secured between two of the pipe sections forming the conduit. Each pod has a plurality of input ports extending radially outwardly at an angle from a perimeter of the pod. Each of the input ports is configured for connection to a high-pressure line for delivering a high-pressure fluid from a pump to the conduit. The input ports are angled such that, when connected to a high-pressure line, high-pressure fluid flowing through the input ports merges with the fluid in the conduit generally in the same direction of travel as the fluid in the conduit.
