Abstract
A reciprocating pump assembly having a pump within a housing. The pump having a crankshaft that rotates and a crosshead that is connected to a plunger via a pony rod. The plunger pumps fluid through cylinders in the pump. A connecting rod connects at one end to the crankshaft and at another end to the crosshead to translate the crankshaft's rotational movement into linear movement of the crosshead and thereby the plunger. The connecting rod is fabricated from multiple pieces, with the body of the connecting rod fabricated out of light weight aluminum and the end connected to the crosshead fabricated out of steel. The steel end of the connecting rod can withstand the stress at the crosshead. The lighter weight of the connecting rod lightens the weight of the pump and its transportation is easier and less costly.
