Abstract: A method of manufacturing a fluid end block for a high pressure reciprocating pump, including forming, from a single-piece forging of a steel alloy, a main body having an outwardly facing body forward face, an outwardly facing body rear face opposite the body forward face, and opposing side surfaces connecting the forward face and the rear face, and a plurality of chambers; forming a web portion protruding outwardly from the outwardly facing body forward face, the web portion having an outwardly facing web forward face and a curvilinear side surface; forming a plurality of bosses protruding from the web forward face and having a forward facing end; and forming a plunger bore extending through each of the plurality of bosses from the forward facing end of the respective boss to one of the plurality of chambers in the main body portion, each plunger bore configured to receive a reciprocating plunger.

Abstract: A fluid end block for attachment to a power end of a high pressure reciprocating pump includes a main body portion having an outwardly facing body forward face, an outwardly facing body rear face opposite the body forward face, and opposing side surfaces. A web portion protrudes outwardly from the outwardly facing body forward face. The web portion may have an outwardly facing web forward face and a curvilinear side surface. The web portion may be integral with the main body portion. A plurality of bosses protrude from the web forward face and having a forward facing end. The plurality of bosses may be integral with the main body portion and the web portion. A plunger bore extends through one of the plurality of bosses configured to receive a reciprocating plunger.
