Abstract:
A frac pump valve seat assembly includes a seat body and a wiper seal. The seat assembly is configured to mitigate the risk of fluid end erosion in the valve seating area by automatically clearing or wiping the mating surface of the fluid end at the time of installation. The wiper seal is located at a lower portion of the seat body and is designed to interface therewith the mating surface of the fluid end. Upon installation, the wiper seal scrapes or cleans the mating surface of propellants, sand, and other contaminants that may remain after initial cleaning. The contact surface of the seat body is optionally further reinforced with material implants with greater hardness than the material of the seat body.
