Claim 0:
1. A pumping system for pumping a fluid for a wellsite, the system comprising:
a manifold assembly comprising a manifold header comprising:
a manifold header body comprising an inlet to receive the fluid and an interior bore; and
at least one outlet from the interior bore, comprising:
an entrance section shaped to have a profile that is approximately the same as a profile of an inner surface of the manifold header body interior bore;
an outlet port shaped to flow the fluid approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the manifold header body; and
a transition section comprising a shape that transitions from the profile of the entrance section to the outlet port and reduces internal erosion of the outlet due to the fluid flowing from the manifold header and through the outlet port; and

a plurality of pumping systems, each pumping system in fluid communication with a respective outlet of the manifold header.
