Articulated fluid delivery system with swivel joints rated for high pressure and flow

A spatially positioned assembly, comprising:

• a fluid inlet in fluid flow communication with a fluid connection adapter;
• a superstructure, the superstructure ultimately connected with the fluid connection adapter such that operator control establishes desired spatial positions for the fluid connection adapter with respect to the superstructure;
• and
• a swivel joint, the swivel joint having an internal diameter of not less than about 5 inches and further capable of rotation while retaining an internal pressure of not less than about 10,000 psi, wherein the swivel joint is interposed in said fluid flow communication between the fluid inlet and the fluid connection adapter.

• and
• a turret, the turret connected with the fluid connection adaptor via at least one boom section;
• S[1 . . . N] where N≥1, in which each boom section has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of boom section S[1] is rotatably connected to the turret and the distal end of boom section S[N] is rotatably connected with the fluid connection adapter;
• wherein rotation of the turret defines rotation about an axis A[1] on a directional bearing B[1];
• wherein rotation of the proximal end of boom section S[1] about the turret defines rotation about an axis A[2] on a directional bearing B[2];
• wherein rotation of the fluid connection adapter about the distal end of boom section S[N] in at least one axis defines rotation about an axis A[N+2] on a directional bearing B[N+2];
• wherein the spatially positioned assembly further includes at least X axis position measuring devices R[1 . . . X] where N+2≥X≥1, each axis position measuring device deployed at a selected measured axis among A[1 . . . N+2] such that each axis position measuring device is configured to measure a corresponding one of directional bearings B[1 . . . N+2] at the axis A[1 . . . N+2] where deployed;
• and
• wherein the axis position measuring devices R[1 . . . X] establish measured directional bearings values BVAL[1 . . . X], wherein BVAL[1 . . . X] contribute to defining corresponding spatial positions for the spatially positioned assembly.
