General Description
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers
give positive protection against blowouts
when operating with wire line or small
tubing in well service or similar work.
These units are lightweight in compari-
son with other similar preventers, yet they
are able to withstand high well pressure.
All standard models are for service that
involves hydrogen sulfide (H2S). H2S
causes embrittlement of some metal
parts, and this is why a specially
designed style is necessary. There are
also two types available: a single, when
only one set of Rams is required, and a
twin, when two sets of Rams are needed.
The choice of style and type is usually
based on the intended service.
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers
are hydraulically actuated, allowing them
to be operated from a safe, remote
location. They insure positive shut-in
of the well by the action of a set of two
opposed Rams which seal off against
the wire line or tubing. A set of auxiliary
Stems may be manually operated to
assure closure of the Rams in case a
hydraulic hose fails or to allow the Rams
to be closed and the hydraulic hoses
removed.
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers are
available in three standard sizes 2-9/16",
4-1/16", and 7-1/16" inside diameter.
They are equipped with either a flange
top and bottom or union connections. A
full range of optional flange connections
is available. Please refer to the specifica-
tions on page 12. Side outlet flanges for
shut-in flow, reverse circulation, or other
purpose may be ordered on the Blowout
Preventers at extra cost.
A Ram Assembly is required for each
size of wire line or pipe to be sealed off.
Ram Assemblies are available for each
Blowout Preventer to accommodate
all sizes of wire line. The specifications
sheet on page 12 lists the maximum size
pipe which may be sealed off with each
Blowout Preventer. Each Blowout Pre-
venter, when dressed with the proper
size Ram Assembly, will seal off any pipe
smaller than the maximum size pipe for
which it was designed to seal.
Equalizer Valve Assemblies are avail-
able at extra cost for each Blowout
Preventer. The Flush Type Equalizer Valve
allows pressure to be equalized above
and below the Blowout Preventer Rams.
This facilitates opening the Rams without
overcoming high differential pressure.
To avoid damage to rams, pressure must be
equalized before opening the rams, regard-
less of pipe size or pressure.
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers are
usually operated with a Bowen Hydraulic
Hand Pump Assemblies. These Hand
Pump Assemblies are available at extra
cost. They are well matched to the Blow-
out Preventers in capacity, are depend-
able, and are easy to operate. In remote
locations, where no power source is
available, the Hydraulic Hand Pump
Assemblies are quite practical.

Bowen Hydraulic Hand Pump Assem-
blies are self-contained units which
include all the necessary valves, gages,
hoses, fittings, and couplings necessary
to attach and operate the Blowout Pre-
venter. The Hand Pump is designed to
allow pressure to be maintained on its
discharge line by closing an integral
valve. Pressure may thus be maintained
for an indefinite period of time.
When operating a twin Blowout Prevent-
er, Dual Hand Pump Assemblies are
required. The Dual Hand Pump Assem-
blies may be employed separately on
Single Blowout Preventers. Thus, under
certain conditions, several Blowout Pre-
venters may be serviced by Dual Hand
Pumps.
Quick-Disconnect Couplings, Packing
Sets, and spare parts and repair kits for
Hand Pump Assemblies are available.
Use
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers
are used in conjunction with lubricator
assemblies whenever danger of a
blowout exists or whenever operations
under pressure must be performed.
They are usually employed in conjunc-
tion with other lubricator components
such as Control Heads, Line Wipers,
Risers, Tool Traps, Unions, and Stuffing
Boxes. During operations, Bowen
Blowout Preventers (one or more) are
usually located near the bottom of the
lubricator assembly. While a Line Wiper,
Stuffing Box, or Control Head will
effectively pack off around a wire line
and contain pressurized well fluid, each
is limited in its capabilities to contain a
blowing well. The presence of a BOWEN
UNIVERSAL BLOWOUT PREVENTER in
the system allows the well to be posi-
tively shut in if required.
Construction
Bowen Universal Blowout Preventers are
composed of a Body, a Ram Assembly,
Actuator Bodies, Actuator Nuts, End
Caps, End Cap Nuts, Actuator Cylinders,
Snap Rings, Stems, Stem Indicators,
Seal Assemblies, and Handles.
The Body is fitted with appropriate top
and bottom flange connections for con-
nection to the wellhead and to a lubrica-
tor set-up. Bowen union connections are
also available.
When the optional Equalizer Valve
Assembly is ordered, it is assembled
on one side of the Body, extending from
above the Rams to below the Rams. It
forms a pressure communication which
allows the wellhead pressure to be bled
into a lubricator set-up above the Blow-
out Preventer, thereby equalizing the
pressure above and below the Rams.
This eliminates the necessity of opening
the Rams against high differential pres-
sure. This Equalizer Valve is designed to
be flush, simple, rugged, and lightweight.
On the lower side of each Ram cross-
Flush Type Equalizer Valve
bore of the Body, there is a keyway into
which slide the Ram keys to orient and
maintain the Rams in proper position
relative to the wellhead bore. This Ram
cross-bore terminates at its ends in a
counterbore (which accepts the two
Actuator Bodies) and an external thread
(for making up the Actuator Bodies in
position).
The Actuator Bodies have internal Seal
Ring Assemblies to seal off the Stems.
They also have internal thread and seal
surfaces at their outboard ends into
which the Actuator Cylinders are insert-
ed. A hydraulic port near the inboard end
of each Actuator Body provides an en-
trance for fluid used to open the Rams.
The Actuator Cylinders are smooth-
bored and are assembled with the
Pistons, Piston Nuts, Race Rings, and
Seal Ring Assemblies required to
hydraulically actuate the Rams. The
Actuator Cylinders are closed by the End
Caps which are held in position by the
End Cap Nuts.

The End Caps include internal seals
which seal off the Stem Indicators. They
also include a hydraulic port for entrance
of the hydraulic fluid which is used to
close the Rams. The O.D. of each End
Cap has an external seal which inserts
into the Actuator Cylinder. It also has a
shoulder which bears against the Actu-
ator Cylinder to maintain the End Cap
in place.
The Ram Assembly is composed of two
Rams which are almost identical. Each
Ram includes a Ram Body, Outer Seal,
Inner Seal, two Retainer Screws (Inner
Seal Screws), Ram Key, Ram Key Cap
Screw, Ram Guide, and two Ram Guide
Screws.
The Ram Guides are assembled on
opposite sides of the two Ram Bodies:
one on top and one on bottom, allowing
them to overlap. Thus, Rams must be
maintained and ordered in sets (of two).
Bowen Twin Universal Blowout Preventer
Because each Ram Assembly is bored
for a specific size wire line or pipe, a
separate set is required for each size
which is to be packed off. If a blowout
Preventer is to be used to pack off sever-
al sizes of wire line or pipe, a set for each
size (plus spares) should be ordered.
The Ram Assemblies are of the Replace-
able Seal type, which means only the
Seals require replacement when they
become worn or damaged. The Inner
Seal is composed of two steel plates with
a tough synthetic rubber core bonded
between the steel plates. The lower of
the two plates has a slot into which are
inserted the two Retainer Screws (Inner
Seal Screws). These screws maintain the
Inner Seal in proper position within the
Ram Body and retract the Inner Seal
when the Ram is opened. The Outer Seal
is a molded, one-piece, saddle shaped,
synthetic rubber part. It is assembled
around the outside of the Ram Body and
along each side. It is in sealing contact
with the rear of the Inner Seal, so that
together the Inner Seal and Outer Seal
form a continuous seal across the well
bore end of the Blowout Preventer.
The Ram Body is made of steel. Its face
has a large slot for the Inner Seal and
two narrower slots. One of these
narrower slots is assembled with a Ram
Guide and the other provides space for
the mating Ram Guide when the Rams
are closed.
A rugged “T” slot is cut into the rear of
each Ram Body. The Thrust Nut of the
Stem which is used to open and close
the Ram is inserted into the “T” slot.
The Stem and Stem Indicator are
assembled together and work as a unit.

attached Stem Indicator are forced in-
ward, setting the Ram. The same sliding
action opens the Ram when pressure is
introduced through the Actuator Body. If
the hydraulic pressure fails or the
operator wants to remove the hydraulic
hoses after the Rams have been closed,
the Rams may be mechanically set
or locked in position by the use of the
Handles attached to the Stem Indicators.
The rugged threaded connection
between the Stem and Stem Indicator
is on a left-hand lead, which causes the
Stem to move inward when the Handle
is turned to the right. Once the Rams
are manually closed, the hydraulic pres-
sure may be removed from the Piston
and the Rams will remain closed.
The operator should note that the Rams
cannot be opened by hydraulic pressure
as long as these Stems are manually set.
The Stem must be manually retracted
while applying opening hydraulic pres-
sure. The Rams cannot be opened
manually once closed (whether hydrauli-
cally closed or mechanically closed);
hydraulic pressure must be used for
opening.
Operation
Prior to operation, the Blowout Preventer
should be examined to assure that it is
in good operating order and assembled
with the correct (line) size Rams for the
operation.
The size of Rams may be checked
directly by measuring the Rams. An
inspection of the tubing or wireline
groove must be performed. The Actuator
Cylinder may be removed by backing
the Actuator Nut from the Body. When
the Actuator Cylinder is removed, the
Ram will be removed with it. Once
exposed, the wire line or tubing groove
at the face of the Ram may be mea-
sured.
Functioning of the Rams may be
checked by using the Handles to run
both of the Rams to the closed position.
The Stems should then be retracted by
turning them to the left until they lightly
“bottom” against the End Caps.
Now hook up the Hydraulic Hand Pump
Assembly, place the 4-way valve in the
“Close” position, and apply 100 – 200
psi of pressure to the Pistons.
CAUTION: It is poor practice to apply pres-
sure to the Rams without a line (or rod)
in place. Do not use excessive pressure
when checking the Rams, since this causes
needless rubber distortion and extrusion.
After assuring that closure of both Rams
has occurred normally, reposition the
Hand Pump 4-Way Valve to the “Open”
position and pump the Rams open. Look
into the bore of the Blowout Preventer to
make certain that both Rams have been
fully retracted by the Pistons.
When a twin or tandem set of Blowout
Preventers is used, both sets of Rams
should be checked. Since one set is
checked separately from the other, only
one Hand Pump Assembly is required.
CAUTION: When checking a twin Blowout
Preventer with different size Rams, be sure
to check the location of each size to assure
that each size set is located in the right
sequence, top and bottom, as required for
the particular operation.
Assemble the Blowout Preventer on the
wellhead.
CAUTION: Be sure to assemble the Blowout
Preventer with the wellhead end down. The
Body will have the words “Wellhead this
end” in relief or stenciled on one side. A
further check is to make sure that the Ram
Keys are on the bottom of the Ram bore
after assembly. If the Blowout Preventer is
assembled upside-down on the wellhead,
its mechanical ability will be unimpaired,
but it will not seal off.
Some provision for killing the well in
case of emergency must be provided to
assure complete safety. This may be in
the form of a side outlet pump connec-
tion, a “kill nipple,” or other safety
equipment.
If the well “kicks” or flows to the point
that it is not being safely retained by the
Line Wiper (indicated by excessive spray
from the Line Wiper), stop any travel of
the wire line or tubing, and close the
Blowout Preventer Rams. The Rams
should be closed tightly enough to seal,
but not excessively tight. After the Rams
have been closed, wait for the well to
settle and the pressure to equalize.
During this waiting time the Line Wiper,
Stuffing Box, or Control Head may be
examined, and worn line rubbers may be
replaced if required. Additional mud or
fluid may be pumped into the well during
this time.
After the well has stabilized, open the
Equalizing Valve and cautiously open
the Rams part of the way. When it is
determined that the well is under control
again, open the Rams completely and
resume operation.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the Rams or
Ram Guides from entering tools, be sure
that the Rams are fully open before resum-
ing operations.
To operate the Universal Blowout Pre-
venter with a Bowen Hydraulic Hand
Pump Assembly:
Check the Pump Reservoir by removing
the fill plug on top of the reservoir. Be
sure the reservoir is full of fluid. If fluid
must be added, Bowen Hydraulic Oil
H-5395 is recommended as the best
fluid for that purpose and is furnished
in all Bowen Hand Pump Assemblies.
If this is not available, use a clean, good
grade industrial hydraulic fluid, turbine
grade oil, or if necessary, a good grade,
7

lightweight lubricating oil. After filling
the reservoir, set the 4-Way Valve to the
neutral position and pump the fluid
through the valve for a minute or two to
circulate out any entrapped air.
Hook up the two hydraulic hoses: one
end of each hose to the Hand Pump and
the other end of each hose to the Blow-
out Preventer. The single coupling end
of each hose should be connected to the
pump 4-Way Valve outlet, and the har-
ness (double connector) end should be
connected to the Blowout Preventer.
Connect one leg of the harness end to
each Actuator Cylinder, so that both
hoses will be connected to both Actuator
Cylinders. Be sure that both legs of one
hose harness end are connected to the
closing ports (outboard), and the two
legs of the other hose harness end are
connected to the opening ports (in-
board). Unless these connections are
correct, the Rams will not open and
close together. Either 4-Way Valve dis-
charge port may be used as a closing
port with the remaining one used as an
opening port. The way in which the hose
harnesses are hooked up to the Blowout
Bowen Hydraulic Hand Pump Assembly
Preventer Actuator Cylinders determines
which port is considered the closing port
and which port is considered the
opening port.
To direct fluid to the closing ports of the
Blowout Preventer, position the handle
of the 4-Way Valve so that the pointer
on the front of the handle points to the
discharge port of the 4-Way Valve which
is connected to the two closing (out-
board) ports of the Blowout Preventer.
Close the shut-off valve of the Hand
Pump. Actuate the hand pump while
watching the pressure gauge. Apply
approximately 200 psi of pressure to the
Rams. If pressure exists on the wellhead,
this should be sufficient to seal off up to
about 2,000 psi. If no pressure exists on
the wellhead, this amount of pressure will
close the Rams tightly enough to assure
sealing off against any “kicks” of the well
pressure up to approximately 2,000 psi.
The ratio of required Hand Pump
pressure to wellhead pressure to affect a
seal is approximately 10:1. Thus, to seal
off 5,000 psi of well pressure, approxi-
mately 500 psi must be applied to the
Blowout Preventer Actuator Cylinders.
NOTE: The first time the hydraulic hoses are
put into service, they will be full of air. This
air should be removed by connecting the
hoses to the Hand Pump and pumping fluid
through them while deflecting the Quick-
Disconnect Coupling at the opposite end.
This will allow the air in the hose to escape
ahead of the fluid. Stop pumping when fluid
begins to flow from the open end of the
hose. The hose end may then be connected
to the Blowout Preventer. After filling the
hoses in this manner, the pump reservoir
should be refilled. Once the hoses are filled,
the fluid will remain in them since the
Quick-Disconnect Couplings used on Bowen
Hydraulic Hand Pump Assemblies are of the
self-sealing type.
The reason for bleeding the air from the
hoses is to eliminate an air bank buildup
in the hydraulic Actuator Cylinders. An
air bank acts as an undesirable cushion
and also presents a minor hazard to the
hydraulic hoses.
To open the Blowout Preventer Rams,
open the Equalizer Valve on the side of
the Blowout Preventer. This will equalize
any differential pressure above and
below the Rams. This is especially
important when the Rams have been
8
closed against high well pressure which
later subsides. Any well pressure trapped
in the lubricator equipment above the
Rams will be equalized. As equalization
is reached there will be a partial relax-
ation of the seals. This reduction of fric-
tion makes the Rams much easier to
retract.
Open the shut-off valve on the Hand
Pump to relieve the pressure on the
Rams.
Set the 4-Way Valve to the “Open” posi-
tion, close the shut-off valve, and pump
pressure into the Blowout Preventer
Actuator Cylinders, opening the Rams.
Continue to pump until approximately
25 psi of pressure is registered on the
gauge. This will assure that the Rams
are fully retracted. The shut-off valve on
the Hand Pump may then be opened.
If the Blowout Preventer is to be left open
and unattended for a considerable
period of time, the stem should be
tagged “Rams are open”. The hydraulic
hand pump assembly may then be
disconnected.
In cases when the Blowout Preventer is
to be closed and left closed for a
considerable period of time, the Rams
should be closed, and the Stems should
be screwed in by using right-hand
rotation. Tighten them as much as
possible by hand only. The Hydraulic
Hand Pump may then be secured and
disconnected.
Once a Bowen Hydraulic Blowout
Preventer is closed and the Hand Pump
Assembly removed, due consideration
should be given to having a Hand Pump
Assembly available to open the Rams.
Stems provide for emergency closing
and safety after closing. The Blowout
Preventer cannot be opened by the
Stems though; they can only be opened
by hydraulic pressure.
When a Twin Blowout Preventer is being
operated, two Hydraulic Hand Pump
Assemblies are required: one for each
Blowout Preventer. This allows both
Blowout Preventers to be operated
individually or simultaneously. Both Hand
Pump Assemblies will be identical and
will be assembled identically on the
Blowout Preventer: one to the upper set
of Rams and one to the lower set of
Rams.
Special Notes
1. When operating the Bowen Universal
Blowout Preventer with tubing size
Rams, special care should be taken
that Rams are completely open when
collars are passed through them. The
impact of a collar striking a Ram may
damage the Ram to such an extent
that the Ram will no longer seal or will
be prevented from being fully opened.
2. On occasion, the operator may find it
necessary to pick up the tubing string
to which the Blowout Preventer is
attached. Lifting the string with the
Blowout Preventer is not recom-
mended. If the weight of the string
must be carried by the Blowout Pre-
venter, care should be taken not to
apply any side load to the connec
tions, and not to overload the connec
tions. Any appreciable side load could
rupture the connection and result in
great damage to the string and the
tools as well as the Blowout Preventer.
The tensile strength of the Blowout
Preventer connections, provided that
these connections are not the smallest
on the string, are generally as high as
any other connection in the string.
3. Never under any circumstance apply
tension, compression, or pressure to
the Blowout Preventer unless the con-
nections are fully tightened.
4. The practice of resting the weight of
the running string on the Ram is detri-
mental and is not recommended when
running tubing. If this becomes abso-
lutely necessary, the Rams should be
closed lightly against the tubing, and
the tubing should be gently set on the
Rams. Dropping the tubing, the tubing
collar (or tools) on the Rams, even a
foot or two, may result in severe dam-
age to the Rams (or Ram Guides),
rendering them inoperable. A weight
of more than 1,000 lbs. should never
be applied to a set of Rams, and lower
weighted objects should be applied
very gradually.
5. Hydraulic hose ends, used with Bowen
Hydraulic Blowout Preventers, should
never be allowed to drop in dirt or grit,
or otherwise become contaminated
with foreign matter. Any dirt or grit
introduced into the Blowout Preventer
(or Hand Pump) is very injurious to the
equipment. If a hose end becomes
dirty, it should be thoroughly washed
with a solvent and dried.
Only clean hydraulic fluid should be
utilized to operate the Blowout Pre-
venter. The use of mixed types, dirty,
or very old fluid of unknown origin
should not be used. When one of
these conditions is known or sus-
pected, the hydraulic system should
be flushed with solvent, and the
hydraulic fluid should be replenished
with fresh fluid.
6. Before disconnecting the lubricator
equipment above a Blowout Preventer,
caution should be exercised to com-
pletely remove any residual pressure
or accumulated pressure. This may
be done by any suitable valve located
above the Blowout Preventer or by use
of the Equalizer (Bleed off) Valve on
the Blowout Preventer. These Equalizer
Valves are available as optional equip-
ment for all Bowen Blowout Preventers.
9
 They will effectively bleed off any light
fluid accumulation or pressure, and
they are recommended in all cases
when the Blowout Preventer is to be
used with lubricator equipment located
above the Blowout Preventer.

have a pronounced flat surface (per-
manent set), they should be replaced
with new seals. The Non-Extrusion
Rings and Seal Protector Rings need
not be removed or replaced unless
they show signs of damage or ad-
vanced wear.
Complete Assembly
Before actual assembly begins, all parts
should be carefully cleaned, inspected,
and greased with a coat of good quality,
lightweight grease or lubricating oil.
1. Begin by assembling the Rams.
Insert the Ram Key into the slot at the
bottom of the Ram Body. Insert the
Ram Key Screw and tighten it.
Slide the Ram Guide into either the
top or bottom slot of the Ram Body.
Make sure the beveled edges of the
Ram Guide are in line with the curva-
ture of the Ram surface so that the
Ram Guide does not project beyond
the edge of the Ram Body.
Insert the Ram Guide Screws into the
Ram Body, and tighten them.
10
NOTE: The Rams do not use Ram Guides in
all cases. When the Rams are bored for
pipe or tubing which have diameters great-
er than half the face width of the Ram,
Guides are not required.
CAUTION: In all cases when Ram Guides
are required, the operator should check and
assure that the Ram Guides are bored for
the same size as the Ram faces, so that the
Ram grooves match the Ram Guide slots.
The operator will note that there are
two types of Ram Guides: The
7-1/16" Blow-out Preventer uses the
flat type Guide just described, while
the 4-1/16" and 2-9/16" Blowout Pre-
venters use the curved Ram Guide
which fits around the curved external
diameter of the Ram face. In all cases
however, the grooves in the Ram face
must match the slot in the Ram
Guide, of either type, and fit the dia-
meter to be sealed off.
2. If they are not already assembled,
assemble the Seals and Seal Ring
Assemblies in place in the Actuator
Body and End Cap.
The O.D. Non-Extrusion Rings and
Seal Protector Rings may be opened
by hand stretching them sufficiently
enough to assemble them in the
grooves.
The I.D. Non-Extrusion Rings may be
compressed by squeezing the ends
in until they overlap, reducing the
diameter sufficiently enough to enter
the bore and be placed into their
grooves. Be sure to face the beveled
face of the Non-Extrusion Ring
against the matching bevel in the
groove. When two are required,
assemble both Non-Extrusion Rings
before assembling the Seal Protector
Rings.
