Ram Bop is a key part of well-control equipment. It’s used for

controlling wellhead pressure during well drilling, workovering and
testing, etc., effectively preventing well blowout and realizing civilized
and safe construction. It can be used for the following:
☆ With proper pipe ram sealing the annular space between casing
and drilling string when there is pipe in the hole.
☆ With blind ram, completely sealing wellhead when there is no
pipe in the hole.
☆ When in emergent condition, the shear ram will cut off pipe in the
well and close wellhead.
☆ When the well head is closed, with killing manifold and choke
manifold connected to the spool and the outlet of the body doing

3. WORKING PRINCIPLE

3.1 Working Principle of opening and closing operation

When pressure oil of hydraulic pressure system is pumped into the closing
cavity of left and right cylinder, it pushes the piston with the ram shaft and ram
assembly to move to the center along the orbit limited by the body ram
chamber, realizing well sealing. When pressure oil is pumped into the opening
cavity of left and right cylinder, it pushes the piston with the ram shaft and left
and right ram assembly to move away from the center, opening the wellhead.
The ram switch is controlled by the conversion valve of the hydraulic pressure
system. Normally, opening and closing operation can be accomplished in 3~5
seconds (but related to the hydraulic control system state, pipe line
specification and distance). When the ram should be locked tightly, do
manual control operation solely.
For manual locking mechanism, see the following product structure figure:

Figure 3 Manual lock system: locking and close position

 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)
13 5/8

Figure 4 Manual lock system: unlocking and open position

The ram manual locking mechanism consists of locking shaft, ram shaft, manual

operation rod and hand wheel. Manual locking system closes and locks the ram by the

manual wheel. Its application is to seal the well for a long time, lock the rams in

closing position after close the rams with hydraulic system. At this time, the hydraulic

pressure can be released. After closing the rams with hydraulic pressure, turn the hand

wheel to the right, drive the locking shaft rotation through operating rod. Because the

locking shaft shoulder presses against the cylinder head, it can not go back, thus it can

only drive the ram shaft to move toward the well head center and locking the rams.

Manual-lock system can only close the rams, but can not open the rams. If you want to

open the rams closed by manual system, you must unlock the system to original

position and then open the ram with hydraulic pressure. It is the only method to open

the rams. The operation procedure is as following: Turn the hand wheel to the left until

dead end, then turn back 1/8~1/4 circle to avoid the locking shaft from blocking at the

unlocking position because of temperature change. Open the rams with hydraulic

pressure.

When using normal ram, turn locking shaft 26~27.5 circles by using manual
lock. When seal 5” drill pipe by 2 7/8”~5” variable ram, turn locking shaft
23~27.5 circles by using manual lock.

3.2 Well pressure principle of sealing

Ram BOP has four sealing parts in order to shut off the well head
effectively. The ram top seal and body seal; the ram front seal and pipe column,
body and sealing between the pipe and the ram front seal; sealing between the
body and the side door; sealing between the ram shaft and the side door.
Procedure of the ram sealing divided into two steps: First the ram shaft affected
by hydraulic oil pushes the ram front seal rubber to press the front part of
sealing distorted. Over compression between the top seal rubber and the body
seals the top part and accomplishes primary sealing. Second when there is
pressure in the well, the well pressure pushes the ram front seal front back part
of the ram to extrude distoration more deeply, at the same time, well pressure
pushes the ram up against the body seal face, thus making reliable sealing.
This is called "well pressure assisting sealing".

4. STRUCTURE AND FEATURES OF MAIN PARTS

4.1 Structure features

� Main pressure-bearing assemblies such as the body and the side door are
casted with alloysteel of high strength and high toughness and properly
heat treated before leaving the factory, the BOP is water pressure tested to
ensure safety during operating under working pressure.
� There are high supporting ribs and obligue plane for settling sand sloping to
the well hole at the bottom of the ram cavity of the body, desanding autoly
when opening and closing the ram, reducing friction of the ram. It is also
helpful for well pressure assisting ram seal.
� Using floating ram sealing can reduce the resistance force of opening and
closing the ram, wearing of the ram rubbers, prolonging the ram life and
also preventing rustness between the body and the ram, accessible for
changing.
� Hydraulic pipe is used with buried structure to avoid damaging the pipe
during installating, transporting and operating.
� The top seal surface of inner cavity of body has been done anti-chemical
corrosion treatment. The gasket groove of flange, sealing ring groove of
bonnet and packing hole of ram shaft has been built-welded with stainless
steel. The retainer ring of ram shaft packing is manufactured by special
stainless steel with good anti-corrosive performance.
� Parts and its surfaces of contacting with fluid in inner cavity of BOP can be
H2S-service. It per to standard of NACE MR0175.
� Size of outer coupling conforms to API 16A specification.

The seal system between ram shaft and bonnet is divided to two parts.
One part is used to seal off well pressure, and another seal off control pressure.
(See Figure 8.) The secondary seal system is between the two parts. Usually,
the seal here is very reliable because it has several different seal rings and
O-ring in the middle. But they occasionally would be damaged for some reason.
In this case, when shut well, there will be leaking. So we need the secondary
seal system to treat it emergently.
During a well is shut off, if there is liquid flowing out from the seeing hole

(at the bottom part of the bonnet), indicating that the seal rings has been
damaged and we can know that the seal on well side or the seal on control side
is damaged from the liquid. At this time, immediately remove the plug of the
grease injection pore, install club-shaped in the pore, and then turn the screw
clockwisely with an inner hex wrench to inject the tightened plug, and inject the
secondary seal grease across the radial hole of the check valve and supporting
seal sleeve in the circular seam so as to achieve the seal remedy.
Caution to use secondary seal system:
� To prevent the grease from being solidified after long time, we do not put
grease in BOP in factory. And while the BOP is not used, it is also
without this grease. Only before the BOP is used in site, put in the
grease. And after a well is completed and the BOP is inspected and
repaired, take out and clean the grease.
� Get special tool ready.
� During working should often notice the following notice hole plug (on it
there is little hole) if there is liquid flowing out.
� Don’t inject too much grease when seal ring is damaged. Proper inject
quantity is that there is no liquid flowing out. Because the secondary
seal grease is more frictional and with granule substance, it impairs the
ram shaft when it returns.

INSTALLATION,OPERATION AND CAUTIONS

6.1 Preparing works before usage

After Ram BOP installed on well head, inspect the following before

operation, to ensure its proper operation.

1) Check BOP is installed rightly or not: lifting ear of body should be

installed on the upside; manual locking device should be installed

completely and well fastened, and hang a plate where the hand wheel is

to indicate the open and close circles; all the connecting bolt should be in

turn tightened diagonally and equably.

2) Inspect oil pipes to see whether they are in compliance with BOP switch

direction or not, provide 286 ～ 429psi control pressure to test each ram

twice (open and close), draining air from cylinders and pipes. If ram

switch action is not in compliance with the mark on the handle of control

platform, adjusting the connection pipes.

3) Inspect manual-lock system to see whether it is well connected or not,

closing and opening ram by manual rod is fixable or not, record hand

wheel rotation number when closing well and mark it on hand-wheel.

After finishing the tests, rotate hand wheel on left and make it unlocked,

open ram by hydraulic pressure.

4) Wellhead equipments shall be fully pressure tested. Standards of test shall

be according to related well control specifications. After tests, every

connection bolt is fixed once again avoiding unbalanced distribution. See

the tightening torque of flange bolt from list 14 or 15.

5) Check installed ram rubber sizes to see whether it is compliance with

drilling tool sizes or not.

6) Check whether the killing and choke manifolds are well connected or not.

7) While BOP is inspected on the ground, it should be fully injected by

water, and open and close ram at least twice so as to drain air in cylinders

and pipes.

6.2 Operation cautions

1) BOP must be operated by professional person. Operators should be

familiar with BOP working principle, specifications and process, and

can also operate, repair, maintain and eliminate troubles.

2) When test the closing ram without string in hole, the max closing

hydraulic pressure should be less than 429psi to prevent rubber from

damage. When open the ram, the opening pressure of hydraulic

locking device can be increased properly. When there is string in the

22
 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)
13 5/8

well, closing the blind ram is prohibited.

3) When closing well for a long time, BOP controlled by manual locking

system should lock the ram by this system and indicate the condition

on control platform to prevent wrong operation.

4) After reaching objective interval, the rams should be opened and

closed one time every day to see whether they are flexible lock in

normal condition or not and whether the manual locking system and

hydraulic locking system are flexible or not. After the drill string is

pulled out of the well, blind ram open and close test is needed. When

there is string in hole, do not close blind ram and shear ram.

5) Releasing pressure by opening ram is prohibited to prevent rubber

from damage. Before opening ram, check the manual-lock system and

keep then in unlocking position. When opened rams, check the ram to

see whether it is fully opened to prevent ram damage from drilling

tools.

6) Keep hydraulic oil clean.

7) After using BOP, ram should be fully opened for easy repair.

7. MAINTENANCE

BOP shall be completely cleared and checked after being used for one

well at site. Replace damaged parts in time, anoint so as to prevent rust after

cleaned ram chamber and ram assembly, (suggest to oil them by synthetic

23
 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)

complex aluminium grease), and oil connecting thread part by thread grease.

7.1. Replacement of ram and ram rubber

Ram rubber is the key part in a BOP. If damaged, BOP is useless in

sealing well. So it is very important to keep it in good condition, and it must

be replaced in time if there is damage in sealing surface. The steps of

replacement ram and ram rubber are as follows:

▲！Note: manual locking device should be unlocked。

unlocked。

1) Open the ram completely with hydraulic oil；

2) Pull ram assembly out horizontally from the ram shaft tail. When take

out ram assembly, note to protect the bonnet seal surface, ram and ram

shaft from being knocked and scratched.；

3) While replacing ram rubber, first remove ram screw, take ram holder

down, prize out the top seal rear of ram rubber upwards, then dismount ram

rubber forward, last replace new rubber. Assembling order is contrary to

disassembling.

7.2. Maintenance for bonnet hinge bracket

Bonnet hinge bracket is either bonnet rotating shaft or

hydraulic oil passage. When seal ring damaged, there will be oil

losing. At this moment, it is necessary to disassembly the hinge

bracket and checking steps as follows:

24
 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)
13 5/8

1) Ensure bonnet is fixed connection with the body；

2) Remove two locating pins from hinge bracket, and four connected

bolts.（Note：structure of the locating pin is separate, and it can be pulled

out by M8 screw）

3) Remove hinge bracket from bonnet with gently hammering avoiding

seal side damage。

4) When installation, coat lubricant on related surface, and insert bonnet

gently. Take care of the position of locating hole, fit two locating pins

first, then four bolts.。

5) Check O-rings of hinge bracket and replace all O-rings if possible.

Verify seal side intact, repair or replace them in time if existing damage.

6) When disassemble and assemble hinge bracket, keep the original

assembling relationship and they can not be changed.

7.3. Maintenance for cylinder assembly

1) For ram shaft seal, piston seal, locking shaft seal, if leaking oil, they

shall be repaired and checked as the following steps:

steps:：

⑴ If ram is not opened fully, open the rams completely through

hydraulic pressure. If bonnet is opened fully, close bonnet and at least screw a

bolt at the opposite from hinge bracket, and then open the ram；

⑵ Put a clean basin under cylinder, to prevent oil from flowing on

ground；

25

⑶ Remove cylinder cover studs and nuts. Screw off cylinder cover and

locking shaft；

⑷ Drive out locking shaft from cylinder cover；

⑸ Remove cylinder；

⑹ Release fixed screw in piston locking cap（Item No. 17）

；

⑺ Remove piston-locking cap, and take down the piston.；

⑻ Open bonnet, take off ram, and pull out ram shaft；

⑼ Remove retainer, take out ram shaft, sealing ring, and take down

locking shaft sealing ring in cylinder cover by the same way.

2) Checking position after cylinder disassembly

⑴ Inner wall of cylinder

When emerging lognitudinal scratch on inner wall of cylinder, it can not

prevent leaking oil even if change a new piston seal ring. A new cylinder

should be changed. At the same time, check related parts of piston and find

out scratching reasons and solve the troubles. If scratch is shallow line or

dotted, amend them with abrasive paper and abrasive stick.。

⑵ Ram shaft and locking shaft-sealing surface

When there is scratch on sealing surface, use the same inspection and

treatment method as on cylinder. If coating peeling off, that will cause leakage,

in this case, they must be changed.

⑶ Seal ring.

Check sealing parts and O-rings to ensure no scratch. If there is, change

26
 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)
13 5/8

them.

⑷ Piston

If the uneven wearing depth of moving sealing surface of piston exceed

0.2mm, change it and it is not allowed to emerge obvious scratch on other

surfaces.

3). Cylinder assembly installation

Installation step are reversal disassembly steps of it. But note the

following items
items：

(1). Check whether there are burs and sharp edges on parts or not. If

there is, get rid of them to prevent seal ring from scratch, and keep them

clean.。

(2). When setting seal ring, lubricate seal ring area and related area for

easy assembly.

(3). Take care of seal ring lip direction; ensure lip mouth against

pressure side.

(4). Ensure seal ring passing through thread part smoothly.

PROPER STORAGE OF RUBBER PARTS

All rubber parts must be stored as following:

I. Store rubber parts in a dark and dry place: Temperature is 0-25℃。

Keep them away from heaters direct sunlight；

II. Don’t spray corrosive material onto rubber part；

III. Store these items away from high-voltage equipments.

27
 5/8””-5000psi Ram BOP (shear type)
13 5/8

High-voltage equipment frequently produces ozone which attacks

rubber；

IV. Store rubber parts in a relaxed condition. They can not be bended,

squeezed or hanged.；

V. Rubber part should be checked periodically. If there is any problem

in a rubber part, it can not be used；

VI. Usually the storage term is 2 years。
