3. WORKING PRINCIPLE

3.1 Working Principle of opening and closing operation

Figure 3 Hydraulic pressure oil path figure while opening and closing ram

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). (Sees
figure 3)

3.2 Well pressure principle of sealing

Ram BOP has four sealing parts in order to shut off the wellhead 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

7
13 5/8”-10000psi Ram BOP Rong Sheng Machinery Manufacture LTD. OF Huabei Oilfield, Hebei

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 cast
with alloy steel 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 rustiness between the body and the ram, accessible for changing.
 Hydraulic pipe is used with buried structure to avoid damaging the pipe during
installation, transporting and operating.
 Size of outer coupling conforms to API 16A specification.

Figure 6 Ram shaft seal structure

4.5 Secondary seal structure

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. 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 clock wisely 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

13
13 5/8”-10000psi Ram BOP Rong Sheng Machinery Manufacture LTD. OF Huabei Oilfield, Hebei

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.

Inspect BOP after secondary seal being used and clean it to avoid it drying in the
hole.

4.7 Ram manual locking mechanism

See product structure figure.

Figure 9 Open position

Figure 10 Close position

The ram lock assembly of this type of BOP is manual-lock. Manual lock system
closes and locks the ram by the manual wheel. It consists of locking shaft, ram
shaft, manual operating rod and hand wheel, etc.. Its application is to seal the well
for a long time, lock the rams in closing position after close the rams with hydraulic

16
13 5/8”-10000psi Ram BOP Rong Sheng Machinery Manufacture LTD. OF Huabei Oilfield, Hebei

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
rotating through operating rod. Because the locking shaft shoulder presses against
the cylinder head, it cannot go back, thus it can only drive the ram shaft to move
toward the wellhead center and locking the rams. Manual-lock system can only
close the rams, but cannot 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:
a. 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.

b. Open the rams with hydraulic pressure.

outside of bonnet seal ring channel. Rubber spring (consisting of two parts) is used
to set up pressure contact between bonnet seal ring and body to easy for initial
seal. This structure forms complete seal. When bonnet bears pressure, there is
clearance between it & body, its seal ring put against body surface as result of
bearing pressure to compensate this clearance. Therefore, large pre-tight force do
not need for bonnet bolt.

6.2 Operation

BOP operation must be charged by specialist and professional person.

Operators shall be familiar with BOP working principle, specifications and
process, and can also operate, repair, maintain and clear troubles.
1) When testing without string in hole, the max close pressure does not
exceed 429psi to prevent rubber from damage. When there is string in the
well pressure prohibit closing the blind ram.
2) Closing well for a long time, lock ram with locking system hand-control
locking situations shall be marked on control platform to prevent wrong
operation.
3) After reaching objective interval, the rams should be opened and closed
one time every day to see if they are flexible lock in normal condition. 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.

6.2.1 Ram Seal Tests

Test media is plain water or drilling fluid. After pressure keeping steadily, begin to
account time.

E. Reduce hydraulic control pressure to zero.

6.3 Caution

 Prohibit releasing pressure by opening ram to prevent rubber from damage.

Before opening ram, check if the manual-lock system kept in unlocking
position each time. And after that, check if the ram remaining fully opened to
prevent ram from drilling tool bumping.
 Keep hydraulic oil clean.
 After usage of BOP ram opened fully for easy repair.
 Discharge water from BOP after pressure test and before storage. Put ram
in full open position and do rust-resisting treatment.

7. MAINTENANCE

BOP shall be cleared completely after every testing at site. Replace damaged parts
in time, anoint so as to prevent rust after cleaned ram chamber and ram of body,
(suggest to oil them by synthetic 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 well, and replace it in time if there is damage
in sealing surface.
Procedures of ram rubber replacement:
▲！Note: manual locking device should be unlocked.
1) Open the ram completely with hydraulic oil.
2) Remove bolts that retain the bonnet. Open bonnet and flatly pull ram
assembly out of the ram shaft tail. While taking 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 upwards prize top seal, then forward
dismount face seal, last replace new rubber. Assembling order is contrary
to disassembling.

26

▲！Caution: Face seal on variable ram is directional.

7.2 REPLACE BONNET SEAL RING

▲！ Caution：Do not hammer frame of bonnet seal ring to avoid damage because
it is soft. Follow the procedure to disassemble bonnet seal ring.
（1） Put two screw M12 into frame of bonnet seal ring and then squeeze it from
seal ring groove.
（2） Replace O-ring and rubber spring in the back.
（3） Coat grease on frame surface of bonnet seal ring & groove and put the
frame inside the groove. Put two screw M12 through the hole on the frame
and tighten on the bonnet, then press the frame into the groove.
（4） Take two screws M12.
（5）Coat grease on the seal ring groove of frame outside end and put on O-ring.

7.3 Bonnet hinge bracket

Bonnet hinge bracket is either side door 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:

1) Ensure side door is fixed connection with the body.

2) Remove two dowel pins, 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 side door with gently hammering avoiding seal
side damage.
4) Check hinge bracket O-rings and replace all O-rings if possible. Verify seal
side intact, repair or replace them in time if existing damage.
5)When installation, coat lubricant on related surface, and insert side door
gently. Take care of the locating port, fit two dowel pins first, then four bolts.

7.4 Repair and replacing for cylinder

7.4.1 Procedure

For ram shaft seal, piston seal, locking shaft seal, if leaking oil, they shall be

27
13 5/8”-10000psi Ram BOP Rong Sheng Machinery Manufacture LTD. OF Huabei Oilfield, Hebei

repaired and checked as the following steps:

a) If ram is not opened fully, open the rams completely through hydraulic
pressure. If side door bolts are needed to put down, close side door. At
least put down two bolts at the cater-corner side door and open ram
through hydraulic pressure.
b) Put a clean basin under cylinder, to prevent oil from flowing on ground.
c) Remove cylinder cover studs and nuts. Screw off cylinder cover
locking shaft.
d) Drive out locking shaft from cylinder cover.
e) Remove cylinder.
f) Release fixed screw in piston locking cap (No.17)
g) Remove piston locking cap, and take down the piston.
h) Open side door, take off ram and pull out ram shaft.
i) Remove retainer, take out ram shaft sealing ring, and take down
locking shaft sealing ring in cylinder cover in the same way.

7.4.2 Checking after cylinder disassembly

(1) Inner wall of cylinder
When emerging vertical scratch in cylinder inner wall, it can not prevent leaking
oil even if change a new piston seal ring. It should be changed with a new cylinder.
At the same time, check piston related parts and find out scratching reasons and
solve the troubles. If scratch is shallow line or dotted, amend them with abrasive
paper and abrasive stick.
(2) 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. So
must change new parts.
(3) Seal ring.
Check sealing parts and O-rings to ensure no scratch. If there is, change them.
(4) Piston
When there is 0.2mm scratch on piston movement sealing surface, change it and it
is not allowed to emerge obvious scratch on other surfaces.

7.4.3 Cylinder assembly installation

Installation step are reversal disassembly steps of it. But note the following items.
(1) Check if there are burs and sharp edges on parts. If there is, get rid of them
to prevent seal ring from scratch, and keep parts clean.
(2) When setting seal ring, lubricate seal ring area and related area for easy
assembly.
(3) Take care lip seal rings' direction; ensure lip mouth against pressure side.

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

⑸ Watch piston is put completely or not when fixing locking cap of piston. Piston
should contact rounding-off of ram shaft tightly. After turning locking cap tightly,
fixed it by formed punch and turning fixing screws.

8.PROPER STORAGE OF RUBBER PARTS

All rubber parts must be stored as following:
a) Store rubber parts in a dark place (temperature:0~25℃): Definitely do not
store rubber parts out-of-doors in direct sunlight and keep items stored
indoors away from windows and skylights to avoid sunlight.
b) Keep storage area as cool as possible. Never store rubber part near heaters,
radiators or other hot equipment.
c) Store these items away from high-voltage equipments. High-voltage
equipment frequently produces ozone which attacks rubber.
d) Store rubber parts in a relaxed position. For example, do not bend a rubber
part and force it into a small box. This accelerates aging in the stressed
(bent) area.
e) Rubber part should be checked periodically. If there is any problem in a
rubber part, it can not be used.
f) Usually the storage term is 2 years.
