Rod connector and method
A rod connector for coupling with a rod of a pump includes a cylinder including a bore, an actuator rotatably disposed in the bore of the cylinder, wherein the actuator is configured to actuate the rod connector between locked and unlocked positions, and a first coupler disposed in the bore of the cylinder and configured to releasably couple with a first rod of the pump, wherein the actuator includes an outer surface including a first pair of opposing engagement surfaces and a second pair of opposing engagement surfaces, and wherein a diameter extending between the first pair of engagement surfaces is less than a diameter extending between the second pair of surfaces.
Easy change pump plunger
A clamp comprising a first contact surface perpendicular to a central axis of the clamp and a second contact surface tapered relative to a central axis of the clamp, whereby the clamp allows for concentric or non-concentric mating between a first component and a second component such that, when rigidly held together by the clamp such that the first contact surface of the clamp contacts a portion of the first component and the second contact surface of the clamp contacts a portion of the second component, a central axis of the first component is parallel to or coincident with a central axis of the second component.
MECHANICALLY DRIVEN MODULAR DIAPHRAGM PUMP
Modular mechanically driven diaphragm pump features are presented herein. Such a diaphragm pump can include a motor, a drive mechanism, and a coupling mounted on a wheeled frame. A diaphragm pump can be mounted to the coupling by forming mechanical static and dynamic connections to brace a housing of the diaphragm pump relative to a drive rod which is moved by the drive mechanism to operate the pump. These mechanical static and dynamic connections can be broken to dismount the pump for replacement or servicing. In some cases, a gas charge can be introduced on the non-working fluid side of the diaphragm to boost performance and/or a dampener can be integrated into the housing of the diaphragm pump and mounted/dismounted with the diaphragm pump.
CROSSHEAD BUSHING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Systems and methods presented herein are directed toward a reciprocating pump. The reciprocating pump includes a fluid section including a plurality of fluid-displacing members. Each fluid-displacing member is configured to displace fluid through the reciprocating pump. The reciprocating pump also includes a power section including a plurality of crossheads. Each crosshead is coupled to a respective fluid-displacing member. The power section is configured to actuate the fluid section by actuating the plurality of crossheads through respective crosshead bores formed through the power section. The power section includes a plurality of structural members. The power section also includes a plurality of pairs of support plates. Each pair of support plates is permanently joined to two structural members of the plurality of structural members. Each support plate comprises a precision interior surface. The power section further includes a plurality of pairs of arcuate crosshead guide sections. Each arcuate crosshead guide section is secured in place between two structural members of the plurality of structural members against a respective pair of support plates of the plurality of pairs of support plates. Each pair of arcuate crosshead guide sections includes a top arcuate crosshead guide section and a bottom arcuate crosshead guide section configured to form a portion of a respective crosshead bore.
Multi-pump integrated mixed fluid delivery device

The hydraulic drive part, the power part, the sample part and the pipeline unit are provided within the casing in sequence. The hydraulic drive part includes multiple hydraulic plunger pumps. The power part includes a dual-shaft motor, wherein an output shaft of the dual-shaft motor is connected with the hydraulic plunger pumps. The sample part includes a lead screw, a screw nut, a piston rod and a sample chamber, wherein one end of the lead screw is connected with another output shaft of the dual-shaft motor, the screw nut is sleeved on the lead screw, the piston rod is fixedly connected with the screw nut. The sample chamber is configured to accommodate a sample.
Piston rod assembly for a fluid pump
A piston includes a piston cap, a piston rod body, and a piston head, with the piston cap being removable from the piston rod body. The piston cap includes a cap body and a connecting portion extending from the cap body and away from the piston rod body. The connecting portion includes a neck and a cap head with the cap head connected to an end of the neck disposed opposite the piston rod body. The cap head is wider than the neck. A mounting portion of the piston rod body extends into a receiving portion of the cap body to connect the piston rod body to the piston cap.
HYDRAULIC FRACTURING PUMPS TO ENHANCE FLOW OF FRACTURING FLUID INTO WELLHEADS AND RELATED METHODS
Systems and methods to enhance the flow of fracturing fluid into a wellhead during a high-pressure fracturing operation may include providing a pump frame and a crankshaft. A plurality of first plungers may be connected to the crankshaft and may reciprocate in a first plane. The hydraulic fracturing pump also may include a plurality of second plungers connected to the crankshaft and positioned to reciprocate in a second plane. The first plane and the second plane may define a non-zero offset angle between the first plane and the second plane. The crankshaft may include a plurality of crankpins, and each of the crankpins may be connected to one of the first plungers and one of the second plungers. The first plungers may pump a first fracturing fluid and the second plungers may pump a second fracturing fluid different from the first fracturing fluid.
REMOVABLE PISTON ROD SLEEVE FOR FLUID PUMP
A piston includes a piston cap and a piston rod with the piston cap being removable from the piston rod body. The piston cap includes a cap body and a socket extending into the cap body. A mounting portion of the piston rod body extends into the socket of the cap body to connect the piston rod body to the piston cap. A wear sleeve is mounted on the piston rod.
SCREW DRIVEN PISTON PUMP
A fluid pump comprises an electric motor configured to provide a unidirectional rotational output. The fluid pump further comprises a screw drive coupled to the electric motor. The screw drive is configured to convert the unidirectional rotational output of the electric motor into reciprocating motion to linearly reciprocate a piston coupled to the screw drive.
DISPLACEMENT PUMP MOUNTING AND RETENTION
A pump rod has a head extending from a neck, and the head is received within a drive slot of a drive link. The head includes a projection, and has an area smaller than an area of the head. The projection contacts an inner surface of the drive slot. The drive link may include a projection aligned with a centerline of the drive link. The drive link projection contacts a head of the pump rod. The projections provide a reduced contact area between the pump rod and the drive link, thereby reducing any side-loading on the pump rod and increasing a lifespan of the wear parts.
