Abstract: A closure element for a fluid end assembly that has two or more recessed grooves formed in its outer surface. The grooves are axially offset. A seal is placed in one and only one of the grooves. As wear occurs, the seal is relocated to one of the other grooves. Instead of a series of axially offset grooves in a single closure element, a kit may be formed from two or more otherwise identical closure elements, each with a single recessed groove at a different axial position. Another closure element has a series of ledge-like surfaces defining spaces within which a seal may be received. One outer surface surrounds one or more of the other surfaces. A seal is placed in one and only one of the spaces. As wear occurs, the seal is relocated to one of the other spaces.

Abstract: A fluid end with an internal bellows can be used in high pressure environments. The bellows is disposed within a plunger bore, and has an interior isolated from a working chamber of the fluid end. An end of a plunger is received in the interior of the bellows. The bellows contains an incompressible fluid at a constant volume. As the plunger extends into the interior of the bellows, the fluid it contains is displaced. Such fluid displacement causes the bellows to extend. As the plunger is retracted, the fluid replaces the volume formerly displaced by the plunger, and causes the bellows to accordion to a retracted position.

Abstract: A replaceable sleeve disposed in a flow passage of a plug valve. The sleeve may be press fit or threaded into an annular recess formed in the flow passage. The sleeve may include a groove disposed about a site where the flow passage intersects the internal chamber. The sleeve may be replaced when worn without replacing the entire valve body.

Abstract: A high pressure swivel joint used in pipe assemblies transferring high pressure fluid. The swivel joint comprises a first pipe section and a sleeve-like second pipe section. The first pipe section is inserted into the second pipe section and the sections are relatively rotatable. A radial seal is seated in a groove formed in either the outer circumference of the first pipe section, or the inner circumference of the second pipe section. The groove is axially spaced from the location where the two pipe sections abut. Alternatively, a groove may be formed in both the outer circumference of the first pipe section and the inner circumference of the second pipe sections, the grooves both being axially spaced from the location where the two pipe sections abut. A radial seal may be inserted in both grooves and a wear ring positioned between the seals.

Abstract: A fluid end having its fluid flow bores sealed without threading a retaining nut into the walls of each bore. The fluid ends may be assembled using a plurality of different kits that each comprise a fluid end body, a component, a retainer element, and a fastening system. The retainer element holds the component within each of the bores formed in the fluid end body and the fastening system secures the retainer element to the body. The fastening system comprises a plurality of externally threaded studs, washers and nuts in some embodiments. In other embodiments, the fastening system comprises a plurality of screws.

Abstract: A fluid end section having a clamping system. The clamping system has a primary clamp formed of a number of sections, which, disposed in end-to-end arrangement, form an annular ring. The primary clamp has an angled surface at each of two rims, which interact with complementary surfaces on flanges that form two separate components of the fluid end section. Each of the two separate components have a bore, which when aligned by placement of the clamp, are in alignment with one another. The clamp has an externally-disposed compression ring, which may either be essentially the width of the primary clamp, or may have one or more flexible rods which interact with grooves on the primary clamp. In either case, the compression ring holds the primary clamp in place, therefore joining the components of the fluid end.
