    Abstract: A fluid delivery device for a hydraulic fracturing system includes a fluid conduit having a fracking fluid outlet configured to be fluidly connected to a well head for delivering a fracking fluid to the well head. The fluid conduit includes a base fluid inlet configured to be fluidly connected to the outlet of a frac pump such that the fluid conduit is configured to receive a flow of base fluid from the frac pump. An injection system is fluidly connected to the fluid conduit downstream from the base fluid inlet and upstream from the fracking fluid outlet. The injection system is configured to be fluidly connected to a material source. The injection system is configured to inject at least one material of the fracking fluid from the material source into the fluid conduit downstream from the frac pump to generate the fracking fluid within the fluid conduit.

    Abstract: The oil quality in an oil reservoir of a pump is monitored using the disclosed oil-monitoring sensor. The oil-monitoring sensor includes a first capacitive portion for measuring oil level and a second capacitive portion for measuring dielectric constant of the oil. Changes in dielectric constant of the oil are indicative of degradation of the quality of the oil (e.g., due to contaminants, oxidation, etc.) So oil-monitoring sensor is used to indicate various parameters about the oil quality to an operator. Using the disclosed sensors, the quality of the lubricant and/or cooling oil used by the pump may be monitored without needing to be present at the pump, or without needing to access the interior of the pump (or oil reservoir).

    Abstract: A flow restrictor is provided for a plug valve. The flow restrictor includes a restrictor body configured to be at least one of held within an internal bore of a valve body of the plug valve or mounted to the valve body in fluid communication with the internal bore. The restrictor body includes a plurality of fluid passages extending through a length of the restrictor body. The fluid passages include turns such that the fluid passages define tortuous fluid paths through the restrictor body.

    Abstract: A valve assembly for use in a fracturing pump including a valve member movable into and out of engagement with a valve seat body. The valve seat body includes an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface forming a fluid bore extending between a first end and a second end of the valve seat body. The body further includes a seating surface extending radially from the inner surface and facing the valve member, the seating surface having a recessed area. An insert is disposed in the recessed area forming at least a portion of the inner surface and at least portion of the seating surface. The valve seat body first end has a diameter different from a diameter valve seat body second. The difference between diameters allows the valve seat body outer surface to be supported by the fluid passageway.

    Abstract: An apparatus is adapted to be coupled to a component of a system associated with a wellhead. The apparatus includes a band adapted to be coupled to the component; a holder coupled to the band; an electronic identifying device attached to the holder and adapted to identify the component; and an identifying component coupled to the band. The identifying component visually conveys information about at least one of: the electronic identifying device, and the component to which the band is adapted to be coupled. The system associated with the wellhead is a system for pumping fluid to the wellhead. In one embodiment, the electronic identifying device is, or includes, an RFID chip.
