  • Patent number: 11885207
    Abstract: Fracturing fluid delivery systems having components with sacrificial liners or sleeves are provided. In one example, a fracturing system includes a flexible fracturing fluid conduit coupled to a wellhead assembly. The flexible fracturing fluid conduit includes a flexible body, a rigid end joined to the flexible body, and a bore extending through the flexible body and the rigid end for conveying fracturing fluid to the wellhead assembly. The flexible fracturing fluid conduit also includes a rigid sacrificial sleeve installed in the rigid end and within the bore. In another example, a fracturing system includes a fracturing fluid delivery apparatus coupled to a wellhead. The fracturing fluid delivery apparatus includes a pressure-containing component having a rigid body with a bore for conveying fracturing fluid. The pressure-containing component has a sacrificial liner provided through the bore along an interior surface of the rigid body. Additional systems, devices, and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11066913
    Abstract: A fracturing fluid delivery system having a fracturing line with a flexible liner is provided. In one embodiment, a method includes moving a flexible polymeric liner through a bore of a fracturing line to a position in which the flexible polymeric liner extends along an inner wall of a flexible pipe body of the fracturing line. The method also includes securing the flexible polymeric liner in the bore of the fracturing line, such as by attaching the flexible polymeric liner to an opposing surface of the fracturing line. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20010032956
    Abstract: A valve and method of assembling a valve, the valve being dead-end capable. The valve includes a valve body, a valve member, a seal and a retainer to prevent axial movement of the seal relative to the valve body. In one construction, the valve body defines a first groove extending about a portion of the circumference and an opening communicating with the first groove. The seal has an outer surface engageable with the valve body and defining a second groove. When the seal is positioned in the bore, the second groove is substantially co-extensive with at least a portion of the first groove to define a groove pocket. To prevent axial movement of the seal relative to the valve body, the retainer has a portion positionable in the first groove and an other portion positionable in the second groove. The retainer enters the groove pocket through the opening. Preferably, the valve further comprises a closing member for closing the opening to prevent the retainer from being removed from the groove pocket.
