  • Patent number: 9188123
    Abstract: A pump assembly having a power end and a fluid end, wherein the fluid end includes a plurality of pump bodies connected side by side between opposing end plates with a plurality of fasteners tightened to compress the pump bodies between the end plates. The power end and at least one of the plurality of pump bodies being connected together by a tie rod having a rod portion and a sleeve portion, wherein the sleeve portion surrounds the rod portion and abuts the power end at an end and at least one of the pump bodies of the fluid end at an opposite end.

  • Patent number: 8601687
    Abstract: A multiplex fluid pump assembled from a plurality of pump bodies connected side by side between opposing end plates with a plurality of fasteners tightened to compress the pump bodies between the end plates. Raised surfaces on opposite exterior side surfaces of each pump body are engaged with an adjacent end plate or an adjacent pump body to apply a pre-compressive force at the raised surfaces and thereby inhibit the initiation of fatigue cracks.

  • Publication number: 20110255993
    Abstract: The current application discloses various embodiments where a pre-compressive force is applied to a defined zone of the fluid end of a pump so as to extend the operational life of the fluid end by reducing stress and fatigue level at the defined zone of the fluid end. In one embodiment, the defined zone comprises one or more recesses near the piston bore of the fluid end. In another embodiment, the defined zone comprises one or more recesses near the inlet bore of the fluid end.

  • Patent number: 7357179
    Abstract: Methods for generating geometric databases of coiled tubing inspection data and using the data in job design, real time monitoring and automated feedback control of operations are described. One method includes creating a grid of spatial positions on a length of coiled tubing as it traverses through an inspection apparatus having a plurality of sensors for detecting defects in the coiled tubing. Real time data may be compared to historical or nominal data for the coiled tubing. Another method includes monitoring, in real time or near real time, the status of tubing dimension (thickness, diameter, ovality, shape) during a coiled tubing operation, such as acidizing, fracturing, high pressure operations, drilling, and wellbore cleanouts. This abstract allows a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure. It will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
