Piping assembly for hydraulic fracturing manifold

A hydraulic fracturing system for stimulating one or more well bores, the hydraulic fracturing system comprising:

• a manifold assembly configured to deliver a fracturing fluid into a well bore during a hydraulic fracturing operation, the manifold assembly having a low-pressure section and a high-pressure section, the high-pressure section including a plurality of first side inlets at a first side of the manifold assembly, a plurality of second side inlets at a second side of the manifold assembly, and an outlet at an end of the manifold assembly, the plurality of second side inlets facing away from the plurality of first side inlets;
• a plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps arranged towards the second side of the manifold assembly;
• one or more piping assemblies fluidly coupled to respective inlets of the plurality of first side inlets, each piping assembly of the one or more piping assemblies, at least in part, extending laterally from the first side towards the second side, spanning over the low-pressure section and the high-pressure section;
• and
• one or more fluid lines to fluidly couple respective high-pressure discharge portions of one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps, of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps, with the one or more piping assemblies such that, during the hydraulic fracturing operation, high-pressure discharge fluid is configured to flow from the one or more hydraulic fracturing pumps into the high-pressure section via the respective inlets of the plurality of first side inlets.

A system to deliver a frac fluid from a low-pressure section of a manifold assembly to a high-pressure section of the manifold assembly, the system comprising:

• one or more piping assemblies configured to be fluidly coupled to respective inlets of a plurality of first side inlets of the high-pressure section, the plurality of first side inlets being located at a first side of the manifold assembly, each piping assembly of the one or more piping assemblies defining an opening configured to face away from the first side, the second side being opposite to the first side, wherein each piping assembly includes:
• plurality of pipe segments coupled together in a series to define a flow path from a respective first side inlet to the opening;
• and
• a mounting block assembly to support the piping assembly immovably with respect to the high-pressure section and the low-pressure section.
