Abstract: A packing assembly includes a packing sleeve having a first sleeve portion and a second sleeve portion, wherein a first sleeve portion outer diameter is larger than a second sleeve portion outer diameter and a first sleeve portion inner diameter is larger than a second sleeve portion inner diameter. The packing assembly also includes a groove formed in the second sleeve portion outer diameter. The packing assembly further includes a shoulder formed at a transition between the first sleeve portion and the second sleeve portion. The packing assembly includes a shelf formed at the transition between the first sleeve portion and the second sleeve portion. The packing assembly also includes a plurality of packing components arranged within the first sleeve portion inner diameter, at least a portion of the plurality of packing components engaging the shelf. The packing assembly further includes a seal positioned within the groove.

Abstract: A fluid end includes a housing having a bore extending toward a cavity and a wear sleeve positioned within the bore. The fluid end also includes a plunger positioned within a plunger bore extending through the wear sleeve, the plunger reciprocating within the plunger bore. The fluid end further includes a wear sleeve retainer coupled to the housing and positioned to block axial movement of the wear sleeve, the wear sleeve retainer having external threads along a body that engage internal threads formed in the housing. The fluid end also includes an anti-rotation system, coupled to the housing, the anti-rotation system engaging the wear sleeve retainer to block rotation of the wear sleeve retainer in at least one direction. The fluid end further includes a packing nut coupled to the wear sleeve retainer.

Abstract: A system includes a fluid end having a fluid end face and a recess extending toward a base. The system also includes a pressure ring extending from the fluid end face, the pressure ring having a pressure ring bore diameter larger than a fluid end bore diameter. The system further includes an adjacent ring coupled to the fluid end, the pressure ring positioned between the adjacent ring and the base, wherein at least one fastener extends through an aperture of the adjacent ring to couple the adjacent ring to the fluid end. The system includes packing material positioned within at least a portion of the pressure ring bore, the packing material positioned such that axial movement toward the fluid end is blocked by the base.

Abstract: A system includes a pressure ring positioned to abut a fluid end face, the pressure ring having a pressure ring bore with a diameter larger than a fluid end bore diameter. The system also includes an adjacent ring coupled to a fluid end, the pressure ring positioned between the adjacent ring and the fluid end face. The system further includes a face seal positioned at an interface of the pressure ring and the fluid end face, the face seal containing pressurized fluid associated with the fluid end. The system also includes packing material positioned within at least a portion of the pressure ring bore.
