Safety Equipment
1. Load sensor:
When the elevator is loaded while lifting a tubular, it is not
possible to open the elevator by mistake.
The load sensor prevents opening with tubular weights higher
than approximately 300 kg (depending which bushing sizes are
installed).
2. Closing signal:
When the elevator is fully closed and latched the driller receives
a hydraulic closing signal (feedback signal).
The pressure value depends on the actual working pressure and
adjustment in the control unit.

DESCRIPTION
is placed in the elevator. When the automatic

closing trigger is activated by the pipe, the elevator
automatically closes.
When the elevator is closed, a hydraulic signal is
sent by the elevator indicating "elevator closed
and latched". The frame takes the load through the
bushing system and transfers it to the elevator links.
Opening and Closing Mechanics

The door and latch of the elevators are actuated by
hydraulic cylinders. The cylinders are protected in the
elevator. The closing trigger is actuated by the drill
pipe.
Closing Signal Side View

Bushing
When the doors are completely closed, the closing
signal in the elevator is actuated.
Control Unit
The elevator may be opened and closed by a control
unit. It consists of a way valve and a pressure switch.
The control unit can be supplied by Blohm + Voss in
various designs as an extra.
The control unit does not control the tilt system of the
elevator.
Bushing System
The exchangeable bushings allow to run the elevator
with different types of pipes and pipe sizes.

Function Test of the Load Sensor
Each time a new bushing is installed, the operation of the
load sensor needs to be checked. The load sensor prevents
the elevator from opening when the load is more than 180
kg.
For testing, a weight of approximately 300 kg is placed

on top of the cover ring. The bushing will sag down
approximately 5 mm, and the elevator can not be opened.

Elevator does not open:
Pilot pressure (valve no.22) could be above the operating
pressure. Reduce the pilot pressure by turning the valve
(no.22) slightly counter clockwise. (Standard setting: see
above).
The throttle valve (no.20) could be opened to much. Close
the throttle (no.20) by turning slightly clockwise. (Standard
setting: screw in throttle valve 20 completely by turning
the Valve clockwise. Afterwards, rotate the valve 1-2 turns
counter clockwise).
Elevator opens automatically:

Pilot pressure (valve no.22) could be below the feedback
pressure (Valve 19). Increase the feedback pressure by
turning the valve (no.22) slightly clockwise. (Standard setting:
see above).
Elevator does not close or only closes very slowly:

4. OPERATIONS
WARNING: Do not touch the VES-SD Elevator.
WARNING: Never open the elevator when the pipe load is still suspended by the elevator.
Safety
• Make sure that ALL hydraulic lines are isolated before any work is carried out on
the VES-SD Elevator.
• It is recommended to have the VES-SD Elevator operated by the driller.
• The hydraulic bushings are activated with a remote control valve, which may be
actuated by hand or foot depending on the type of valve and/or HMI-interface.
• The driller and floor man must coordinate operation of the elevator and slips/
spider so one tool is engaged around the casing before the other is disengaged.
Thus, one or both tools continuously suspend the casing during all stages of
casing handling operations.
Operation MU (make up)

1. The floor man attaches a single joint elevator or pick up line to the next joint in
the V-door when the elevator is lowered.
2. Lift the new joint from the V-door by lifting the elevator.
3. The floor man stabs the pipe on top of the pipe in the floor.
4. The SD-500 elevator is lowered over the tooljoint and the command “close
elevator” is given.
5. A signal is given to the driller when the SD-500 elevator is closed.
6. The pipe is made up.
7. The driller lifts the SD-elevator in order to pick up the load.
OPERATIONS
8. The slips/spider is commanded to “open”, simultaneously, the driller picks up the

elevator while the driller raises the spider/slips.
9. The driller lowers the string into the hole.
10. The floor man removes the single-joint elevator or pick-up line from the pipe.
11. The driller sets the spider/slips.
12. Open the SD-500 Elevator and pick up a new section of pipe.
Operation BO (break out)

1. Pick up the string with the SD-500 elevator.
2. Observe the SD-500 Elevator is closed when the “elevator closed indication
signal” is visible.
3. Raise the spider/slips.
4. Pull out the string.
5. Close the spider/slips
6. Release the stringweight from the SD-500 Elevator.
7. Now BO the stand or joint.
8. When the pipe is BO, pick up the stand and handle.
Running with riser bushing

The operation with riser bushing is the same as any other operation: However, during
the operation with riser running tool the right position and fixing of the locking –
blocks and safety wires should be checked from time to time.
32
Depressurizing the A and
B line
Line A and B are connected by
a ball valve (03 in h-diagram).
When this valve is closed, there is
no connection between A and B line.
The valve should be open only in
case one of the lines should be
depressurised. When the A and B
line are connected, elevator doesn’t
work.
There is indication for the condition
of the valve in the back door.
Deactivating the load

sensor (emergeny open)
Ball valve 02 (see hydraulic diagram)
connects cylinder and the input port
A directly. This bypass should be
used only in case of emergency. To
do this, open the rear door, turn the
ball valve to the RIGHT.

OPERATIONS
Don’t forget to switch the load sensor
ON when returning to normal operation.
Additional information about the

ON/OFF position you can find on the
rear door (see pic). When the bypass
is OFF (ball valve closed) there is
no direct connection between the B
port and cylinder. The door can
not be opened when the elevator is
under load. When the bypass is ON
Bypass Ball valve 02 for the load sensor (ball valve open) the port B is directly
connected to the cylinders.
WARNING: When the pressure signal

appears on the B port, the door will open,
even under load.
Fig 3 position of the load
sensor ball valve
WARNING: Be careful by handling the
SD elevator with open bypass (for the
load sensor). This bypass must be closed
when the elevator is used during standard
operation.
33
Deactivating the trigger
inside the elevator
The trigger system can be deactivated
by opening the ball valve no.01. To
do this, open the rear door, turn the
ball valve No.01, mounted in the left
block CLOCKWISE.
If there is pressure on port A (not B) the
door closes immediately.
When the bypass is OFF

(ball valve closed) there is no Bypass Ball valve 01 for
direct connection between A port and the trigger system
cylinder. The door closes only when
the trigger is activated by the pipe.
When the bypass is ON (ball valve
open) the port A is connected to the
cylinders directly. If there is pressure
on port A, the door closes immediately.
The automatic function for CLOSE

Wear Check
Wear of Equipment
Normal wear of bushings and elevator ears caused by usage will eventually
reduce the load capacity of elevators.
The existence of cracks or the appearance of defects can indicate severe
deterioration and even failures. Prompt attention is required either to remove the
elevator from service immediately or to undertake appropriate repair.
A wear condition in its early stages is common. Frequently, it results in a tool joint 1.
sticking to the elevator.
Elevators showing hammer marks around the top of the bore should be closely
examined to determine whether it is the elevator, the tool joint or both are faulty.
To identify the the conditions of the 18°
Elevator taper gauges are available for all B+V Elevators (P/N 600018).
A set of gauges consists of an 18° gauge (GOOD) and a 15° gauge (BAD)
How to check the bushing or Bore Code of the Elevator the correct
way
1. Fit the gauge to the inner bore of the bushing.
2. Push the gauge against the bushing and start to move the gauge downwards
until the chamfer touches the 18° shoulder or the bore.
3. Check the result as follows.
Check of results
1. Using the GOOD gauge: If the gauge sits directly on the bushing without
showing any clearance between gauge and bushing, the bushing is OK. 1.
2. If the gauge shows space between the gauge and the bushing, you have to
check with the second gauge.
3. Using the BAD 15° gauge: If the gauge shows any clearance between gauge
and bushing, the bushing is OK.
4. If the gauge sits directly on the bushing without showing any space between
gauge and bushing or BC, take the elevator out of service.
WARNING: If the taper is less than 15° take the elevator out of service or exchange the
