Support for reciprocating pump
DCFirst Claim
1. A skid for supporting a reciprocating pump assembly, the reciprocating pump assembly comprising a power end frame assembly having a pair of end plates and a plurality of middle plates disposed between the end plates, the end plates each having at least a pair of feet and the middle plates each having at least one foot, the skid comprising:
- a base having a pair of side segments including a top wall, a bottom wall, and a sidewall extending between the top and bottom walls forming a c-shaped channel;
at least one transverse segment coupled to and extending between the pair of side segments;
a plurality of spaced apart gussets disposed within the channels, the gussets extending between and connecting to the bottom wall and the top wall of the c-shaped channel; and
a plurality of spaced apart pads extending from the base, the plurality of pads corresponding to the end plate feet and at least another portion of the plurality of pads corresponding to the at least one foot of each middle plate.

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.

10. A method of mounting a reciprocating pump assembly to a support skid, the reciprocating pump assembly including a pair of end plate segments and at least one middle plate segment disposed between the end plate segments, the end plate segments each having at least a pair of feet and the at least one middle plate segment having at least one foot, the method comprising:
-
forming a base section, wherein forming the base section includes providing a pair of side segments having a c-shaped channel therein and securing respective ends of at least one transverse segment to the pair of side segments; securing a plurality of spaced apart gussets within the c-shaped channels, the gussets extending between a bottom wall and a top wall of the c-shaped channel; securing a plurality of pads to the base section, the plurality of pads corresponding to the feet on the pair of end segments and the at least one foot on the at least one middle plate segment; aligning the feet of the pump assembly with a corresponding pad on the base section; and securing the feet of the pump assembly to the base section. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
