General description
The Varco PS15 Power Slip is a manually operated slip for the setting and releasing of drill pipe slips for 3-1/2" to 5-1/2" drill pipe. The Varco PS16 Power Slip is a fully automatic, remote controlled, air operated system for the setting and releasing of drill pipe slips for 3-1/2" to 5-1/2" drill pipe (Figure 1). The PS16 can accommodate 6-5/8" drill pipe, but only as a tripping tool. CAUTION: Do not use 6-5/8" drill pipe with the PS16 to drill ahead. Both the PS15 and the PS16 eliminates the difficult and sometimes dangerous job of hand setting and lifting of drill pipe slips. The PS15 Power Slips can be set by the crew members simply standing on the slip set ring. The PS15 slips use coil springs as a counter balance to offset the weight of the slips when in the upper, or, released position. The PS16 power slips can be controlled by either a hand or foot operated remote control valve. The PS16 slips are set by gravity and released by applied air pressure. The PS15/16 is designed to fit into 27-1/2" and 371/2" to 49-1/2" rotary tables equipped with Varco pin drive master bushings. The PS15/16 is a non-rotating unit designed for use with the Varco top drive drilling system.

cover assembly provide stability to the system. Each guide pin bushing has a grease fitting for lubrication.
Slip assembly
The slip assembly provides the means for gripping the drill string. Four slip segments are required for each PS15/16. The slip segment consists of a slip body, slip hanger, slip inserts and attaching hardware (Figure 4). The slip is available in three sizes. The 4-1/2" slip is used for drill pipe sizes 3-1/2" to 41/2". The 5-1/2" slip is used for drill pipe sizes from 4-1/2" to 5-1/2". The 6-5/8" slip is only used for tripping. Slip inserts vary for each pipe size and depend on the size of the slip used (see the table in Figure 5).

Guide ring
The guide ring keeps the drill string centered to enable proper operation of the slips. The guide ring also provides channels for the PS16 slip assemblies, keeping them spaced evenly, assuring that the drill pipe is gripped evenly during slip setting. The guide ring is precision machined and consists of two matched halves to accommodate the opening of the bowl assembly. Because excess guide ring wear is detrimental to PS16 performance, monitor internal guide ring surface wear closely. Replace the guide ring if wear exceeds 3/16" (4.76 mm)

Control system
The PS16 control system consists of a 250 psi (1,723 KPa) filter/regulator, inline (pilot operated) valve, hand operated pilot valve, check valve and miscellaneous connecting hoses and fittings (Figure 6). The hand operated valve is located near other controls for rig floor equipment. A latch on the valve locks it into either SET or RELEASE positions. The filter/regulator controls air pressure at 90 psi (620 KPa) to operate the power slips. Loss of air sets the slips. NOTE: The PS16 control system can be specified for either hand or foot control.

NOTE: Do not use pipe dope as a lubricant on PS15/16 Power Slips. Pipe dope is not a lubricant and if used causes slips to stick and foul the slip inserts. NOTE: To reduce the chance of inserts seizing in the insert slots, NOV recommends to remove inserts after each job, preserve the insert slot with light machine oil, EP-2 grease or any other preservation fluid that does not affect the friction coefficient with string weight compared to a none preserved insert slot.

Lubrication
Procedure
1. Lubrication of the PS15/16 consists of charging the four grease fittings with EP grease once each trip and maintaining the oil level in the lubricator on the discharge of the filter/ regulator. NOTE: PS16 only: Use only 10-wt hydraulic oil or nondetergent motor oil as a lubricant in the air system. Use of any other type of oil or synthetic additive causes the seals in the air valves to swell and cease to function. 2. PS16 only: Check the level of oil in the lubricator located on the discharge of the PS16 filter/regulator. Fill the lubricator to operating level with appropriate oil. 3. Each trip charge the four grease fittings located on the PS15/16 guide pins with the appropriate general purpose EP grease (Figure 16). In addition, brush a generous quantity of EP grease onto the backs of the PS15/16 slip bodies.

Non-destructive examination
NOV power slips should be MPI examined according to the maintenance procedures. This magnetic particle examination should be conducted as outlined in the latest revision of the recommended practice API RP 8B as a minimum. The magnetic particle examination method consists of magnetizing the area to be inspected and then applying magnetic particles to the surface of the test area.
Evaluations of indications
Relevant indications: Only those indications with major dimensions greater than 1/16 Inch (1.6 mm) and associated with a surface rupture shall be considered relevant. Relevant indications are indications that results from, discontinuities within the test part. Non relevant indications are indications that results from excessive magnetizing current, structural design or permeability variances within the test parts. Any indication believed to be non-relevant shall be regarded as relevant and shall be reexamined to determine whether an actual defect exists. Linear indications shall be considered as those having a length of more than three times the width. Rounded indications shall be considered as those having a length less than three times the width. A lined indication shall be considered as a group of three more indications which touch an imaginary straight line connecting any two of the group.

Operation PS15
Procedure
1. The slips are set by stepping on the step rail on the outside of the cover CAUTION: Make sure down far enough to go past the latch cover.
2. The slips are held set by the drill pipe weight and the latch with latch lock serves as a safety if the driller was to pick up the accidentally on the drill pipe, but didnt want the slips to come up. 3. To allow the slips to come up, step on the latch-lock-pedal. WARNING: Ensure the pipe has stalled prior to setting the slips. NOTE: Ensure there is sufficient weight before using the PS, e.g. after the bottom hole and heavy weight has been run. WARNING: Power slips should be left in the locked or SET position while supporting pipe or casing and not released until secondary support of the string is in place. Under certain conditions, e.g., very light loads, releasing the slips before picking up the load can result in a dropped string.
