Abstract: A plate segment for a reciprocating pump power end frame assembly, the power end frame assembly having a pair of end plate segments and at least one middle plate segment disposed between the end plate segments. The plate segment consists of the middle plate segment or one of the pair of end plate segments and includes a plate having a front wall, a rear wall, a top wall, a bottom wall and a pair of sidewalls and at least one opening forming a bearing support surface, the opening extending through the plate. The plate segment further includes at least one extension extending from at least one of the sidewalls of the plate at a position to align with and contact a corresponding extension on an adjacently positioned plate.

Abstract: A reciprocating pump includes a frame for a power end, a skid support structure integrally formed at a base of the power end frame to provide proper support and rigidity for the pump power end, where the integral skid support structure has a plurality of struts forming a series of chambers.

Abstract: A suction cover nut for a reciprocating pump includes a body configured to be at least partially received within an access port of a fluid cylinder of the reciprocating pump. The body extends a length along a central longitudinal axis. The body includes a thread configured to threadably connect the suction cover nut to the fluid cylinder within the access port. The thread extends along the central longitudinal axis of the body. The body includes a recess configured to receive a suction cover of the reciprocating pump therein. The recess is tapered inwardly along the central longitudinal axis of the body.

Abstract: A power end frame assembly for a reciprocating pump that includes a first and second end plate segment each including annular bearing support surfaces configured to support a crankshaft bearing assembly. At least one middle plate segment is disposed between the first and second end plate segments and includes an annular bearing support surface configured to support a crankshaft bearing assembly. The annular bearing support surfaces of the first and second end plate segments and the at least one middle plate segment each have a diameter and are coaxially aligned. The diameter of at least one of the first and second end plate segments is different from the diameter of the at least one middle plate segment to facilitate insertion and removal of the crankshaft bearing assembly from the power end frame assembly.

Abstract: A skid for supporting a reciprocating pump assembly, the reciprocating pump assembly including a power end frame assembly having a pair of end plate segments and a plurality of middle plate segments disposed between the end plate segments. The end plate segments each have at least a pair of feet and the middle plate segments each having at least one foot. The skid includes a base and a plurality of pads extending from the base. At least a portion of the plurality of pads correspond to the end plate segment feet and at least another portion of the plurality of pads correspond to the at least one foot of each middle plate segment.
