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 bull gear is provided for a reciprocating pump. The bull gear includes a hub extending around an axis of rotation of the bull gear. The bull gear includes a rim having a plurality of helical gear teeth extending along a circumference of the rim. The rim extends a width along the axis of rotation from a first side portion to a second side portion that is opposite the first side portion. The bull gear includes a web connecting the hub to the rim. The web extends a radial length from the first side portion of the rim to the hub.

A sealing assembly for a fluid end of a reciprocating pump is installable within a segment of a casing of the fluid end and is arranged to form a seal with the segment. The sealing assembly includes a closure element and a seal element. The closure element has a sealing portion with a lateral surface that faces an interior wall of the segment of the fluid end and that includes a single groove. The seal element is sized to be installed in the single groove and includes a repositionable seal. The repositionable seal is movable axially within the single groove so that the repositionable seal can be positioned in multiple sealing positions.

A stuffing box assembly for a fluid end of a hydraulic fluid pump includes a first stuffing box member having a first plunger bore configured to receive a plunger of the hydraulic fluid pump and a plurality of seals. The first stuffing box member further comprises a first bore spaced apart from the plunger bore. A second stuffing box member has a threaded stuffing nut bore configured to receive a stuffing nut of the hydraulic fluid pump. The second stuffing box member further comprises a second bore spaced apart from the stuffing nut bore. A fastener is configured to extend through the first and second bores to secure the first stuffing box member to the second stuffing box member.

A hydraulic pump (6) comprising: a housing (20) having first and second inlets (100a, 100b) and first and second outlets (102a, 102b); a crankshaft (4) extending within the housing (20) and having axially offset first and second cams (62, 64); first and second groups (30, 32) of piston cylinder assemblies provided in the housing (20), each of the said groups (30, 32) having a plurality of piston cylinder assemblies having a working chamber of cyclically varying volume and being in driving relationship with the crankshaft (4); one or more electronically controllable valves (40) associated with the first and second groups (30, 32); and a controller (70) configured to actively control the opening and/or closing of the said electronically controllable valves (40) on each cycle of working chamber volume to thereby control the net displacement of fluid by the first and second groups (30, 32), wherein at least the first group (30) comprises a first piston cylinder assembly in driving relationship with the first cam (62) and a second piston cylinder assembly in driving relationship with the second cam (64), and wherein the first group is configured to receive working fluid from the first inlet (100a) and to output working fluid to the first outlet (102a) and the second group is configured to receive working fluid from the second inlet (100b) and to output working fluid to the second outlet (102b).

A reciprocating pump assembly that includes a power end, first and second stay rods coupled to the power end, and a fluid end that includes a mounting flange coupled to the first and second stay rods and a packing nut assembly. The packing nut assembly includes a packing nut threadably engaged with the mounting flange and comprising a gear pattern, and a retention assembly that includes a collar, an alignment arm, a pawl, and a biasing assembly. The collar extends around the first stay rod. The alignment arm is coupled to the collar and shaped to contact the second stay rod. The pawl is pivotally coupled to the alignment arm or the collar and positioned to engage the gear pattern to allow the packing nut thread into the mounting flange and prevent the packing nut from unthreading. The biasing assembly biases the pawl into engagement with the gear pattern.

A fluid end comprising a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each fluid end section is releasably attached to a connect plate. Each connect plate is attached to a power source using a plurality of stay rods. Each fluid end section comprises a housing in fluid communication with a pair of intake manifolds and a discharge conduit. A fluid routing plug is installed within each housing and is configured to route fluid throughout the housing. A plunger is installed within stuffing box attached to each housing. A number of features, including the location of seals within bore walls and carbide inserts within valve guides, aid in reducing or transferring wear.

A displacement device for fluids, in particular liquids has linearly movable displacement bodies which dip into pump chambers and are connected via respectively one connecting rod to crank pins of an externally driven crank shaft, wherein at least two groups of displacement bodies are provided. All the groups each have the same number of displacement bodies and the crank pins for the displacement bodies are arranged distributed around the crank shaft at the same angular distances. The crank pins assigned to one group are arranged with respect to those of the other group each offset by an offset angle β around the crank shaft. Furthermore, the displacement bodies of each group are arranged offset in the axial direction of the crank shaft with respect to those of the other groups and the group displacement bodies are each arranged around the crank shaft at a group offset angle γ with respect to one another. The displacement device enables low pressure pulsations.
