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.

Claim (Index 19):
A valve seat body of a valve assembly in a fracturing pump, the valve assembly having a valve member reciprocatingly movable to position the valve assembly between open and closed positions, the valve seat body comprising:\n an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a bore along a longitudinal axis of the valve seat body, at least a portion of the outer surface configured to be seated against a fluid passageway of the fracturing pump; a seating surface extending radially from the inner surface, at least a portion of the seating surface having a recessed area to receive an insert therein, the recess area formed having a bottom wall extending from the inner surface and a sidewall, the insert forming at least a portion of the seating surface for contacting the valve member when the valve assembly is in the closed position; and the valve seat body having a first outer diameter D1 and the valve seat body having a second outer diameter D2 different from the first outer diameter such that that the difference between D2 and D1 allows the valve seat body outer surface to be supported by the fluid passageway.
