Abstract: A fluid end section having a clamping system. The clamping system has a primary clamp formed of a number of sections, which, disposed in end-to-end arrangement, form an annular ring. The primary clamp has an angled surface at each of two rims, which interact with complementary surfaces on flanges that form two separate components of the fluid end section. Each of the two separate components have a bore, which when aligned by placement of the clamp, are in alignment with one another. The clamp has an externally-disposed compression ring, which may either be essentially the width of the primary clamp, or may have one or more flexible rods which interact with grooves on the primary clamp. In either case, the compression ring holds the primary clamp in place, therefore joining the components of the fluid end.

Abstract: A fluid end for use with a power end. The fluid end comprises a plurality of fluid end sections positioned adjacent one another. Each section includes a single horizontally positioned bore. A plunger is installed within the bore and includes a fluid passageway. Low-pressure fluid enters the bore through the plunger and high-pressure fluid exits the fluid end through an outlet valve installed within the bore. The intake of low-pressure fluid within the fluid end section is regulated by an inlet valve installed within the plunger. Low-pressure fluid enters the plunger through an inlet component attached to both the plunger and an inlet manifold.

Abstract: A fluid end assembly comprising a plurality of fluid end sections positioned in a side-by-side relationship. Each section comprises a housing containing a reciprocating plunger. One and only one packing seal is installed within the housing and surrounds and engages an outer surface of the plunger. A retainer compresses and holds the packing seal within the housing. The retainer is secured to the housing using a clamp, such that no threads are formed in the housing of the fluid end section and no threads are formed in the retainer.

Abstract: A manifold assembly configured for use with a fluid end used in oil and gas operations. The manifold assembly comprises upper and lower manifolds supported on side posts such that the manifolds and posts define a central opening. In operation, the fluid end is positioned within the central opening such that the manifold assembly surrounds the fluid end. The manifold assembly is not attached to the fluid end other than flexible conduits interconnecting the fluid and the manifolds. The manifold assembly is modular and when assembled, may be moved together as a single unit.
