<p>A reciprocating pump includes a housing (12) having an annular passage extending therethrough between opposed open ends, and a piston (22) is disposed within the annular passage between glands positioned at each open end. A pressurizing chamber assembly is disposed at each housing end and includes a chamber head that is attached to respective housing ends. A pressurizing member is disposed within each chamber head and is attached to respective opposite ends of the piston. The pressurizing member, and an inside surface of a respective chamber head, form a pressurizing chamber therebetween. The pressurizing member is of a one-piece construction, having a solid nose portion (18) and a hollow skirt (104). The hollow skirt has a flanged end that is interposed between a respective chamber head and housing end to form an air- and liquid-tight seal therebetween.</p> |
