1.1 General
A. Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to provide detailed
instructions on how to perform scheduled inspections
of Hydril ram blowout preventers when they are not in
service. For in-service inspections, refer to the BOP
operator's manual.
B. Ram BOP Configuration

Instructions in this manual are provided for single ram
BOPs with one ram compartment . Therefore, if the
BOP being inspected has more than one ram com-
partment, repeat the instructions as many times as
necessary.
C. Initial Safety Precautions

Inspection forms are provided in Section 9. These manual for the address, telephone, and FAX num-
forms are designed to be used along with the inspec- bers.
tion procedures. To make the recording of results
easy, each form has step numbers that correspond to
the steps used in the inspection procedure. Each
form should be treated as a master for photocopying.
Make as many copies as are needed.
1.2 How To Use This Manual
A. Normal Use
This manual is designed to be used in conjunction with
the BOP operator's manual for disassembly and as-
sembly instructions, operation specifications, bolt
torques, and part numbers. If an operator's manual is
not available, contact Hydril Headquarters in Hous-
ton, Texas for a copy (refer to Section 10 for address
information). This manual is divided into sections for
ease of use. The section headings are listed in the
Table Of Contents at the front of this manual.
To use this manual, turn first to the inspection
schedule in Section 2. Find the desired inspection
interval on the schedule. The procedure for each
inspection on the schedule is found in Sections 3
through 8. Find the inspection form in Section 9,
photocopy it, and use it as you follow the correspond-
ing inspection procedure. If the BOP requires major
repairs that cannot be made in the field, contact Hydril
at one of the Hydril Repair Facilities listed in Section
10.
B. Revision
Occasionally, Sections 1 through 10 of this manual
may be revised. Revisions are identified in two ways.
First, by a letter of the alphabet (Rev. A, B, C, etc.) on
page 1 of each section and in the Revision Record.
The Revision Record follows the Table Of Contents in
the front of this manual.
Second, the revised portion will be indicated by an
8-pt. grey bar in the margin (see example in the left
margin). This bar is intended to aid the user in finding
the parts of the section that have been changed from
the previous version.
Furthermore, to make the updating of this manual
easier when revisions are made, whole sections will
be replaced rather than individual revised pages.
NOTE: The revision letter indicated in the revision box
on page 1 of each section should match with the letter
shown in the Revision Record. If not, contact Hydril

3.1 General
The procedures in this section cover the visual in-
spection of the Hydril ram BOP.
A. Inspection Records
During the inspection of the ram BOP, keep records
of the inspections and the actions taken. Use the
inspection form(s) in Section 9.
B. Repairs
Minor repairs can be performed in the field. However,
major repairs requiring welding must be performed at
an approved Hydril Repair Facility. Refer to Section
10 for a list of facility locations.
C. Cleaning
Prior to inspection, clean caked drilling mud, loose
rust, and scale from the exterior of the ram BOP with
high pressure water or steam.
D. Handling
Lift the ram BOP using two slings of adequate strength
in a basket configuration. Position the slings one on
each side of the ram BOP from just inside the hinges,
under the BOP body, and up the off hinge side (refer
to Figure 3-1). CAUTION: To prevent damage, do
not position slings under the multiple position locks or
the manual locks when lifting the ram BOP.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN LIFT-

ING THE RAM BOP. THIS IS VERY HEAVY AND
BULKY EQUIPMENT. DO NOT PLACE HANDS OR
OTHR BODY MEMBERS WHERE THEY CAN BE Figure 3-1. Ram BOP Lifting Arrangement

DURING THE LIFTING OPERATION.
E. Inspection Criteria for Nuts, Bolts, and Threaded

Holes.
Clean threads thoroughly because dirt and grit may
account for symptoms that otherwise appear to be
due to thread damage. Replace nuts and bolts if
threads are damaged or if the hex surfaces are
seriously rounded. A part with threaded holes with
unacceptable threads may require replacement or
repair of the part. Contact Hydril for advice. Refer to
Section 10 for a list of Hydril Authorized Repair
Facilities.

3.1 General
The procedures in this section cover the gauge in-
spection of the Hydril ram BOP. To complete this
inspection, the ram BOP operator's manual is re-
quired for disassembly, assembly, and part number
identification. If a manual is not available, contact the
nearest Hydril Repair Facility for a copy. Refer to
Section 10 for a list of locations.
A. Inspection Records
During the inspection of the ram BOP, keep records
of the inspections and the actions taken. Use the
inspection form(s) in Section 9.

D. Handling
Lift the ram BOP using two slings of adequate strength
in a basket configuration. Position the slings one on
each side of the ram BOP from just inside the hinges,
under the BOP body, and up the off hinge side (refer
to Figure 4-1). CAUTION: To prevent damage, do
not position slings under the multiple position locks or

E. Part Identification and Replacement

The parts of a typical Hydril ram BOP are illustrated in
Figures 4-2 and 4-3 for the purpose of identifying the
components that are discussed in the Gauge Inspec-
tion Procedure. Although the parts are identified by

5.2 BOP Operating Test Procedure
A. Testing Precautions
Take the following precautions to insure the safety of
all personnel during blowout preventer testing.
1. Use safety barrier during test operations.
2. Verify that test stump, blind flanges, mandrels,
blind hubs, piping, valves, gauges, and related
equipment are rated for the test pressures.
3. Check resolution and accuracy of pressure indi-
cating devices. A resolution of one percent of full
range and an accuracy of two percent is required.
4. Do the following if a leak occurs, or an unaccept-
able pressure loss occurs:
a. Stop the test.
b. Vent pressure from the BOP.
WARNING: STAND CLEAR OF VENTED PRES-

SURE TO AVOID INJURY.
c. Make necessary repairs and perform the

BOP Operating Test again.
B. Tools and Materials required:

1. New API metal ring gasket
2. Light machine oil ( Gulf Harmony No. 46 or Exxon
Coray 100)
3. Never-Seez thread lubricant (.069 coefficient of
friction) or equivalent
4. Ram BOP Inspection Form (refer to Section 9)
C. BOP Operating Test

1. If the ram BOP is already installed on the test
stump, continue to Step 2. Otherwise, install the
BOP onto the test stump as follows:
a. Wipe hubs/flanges, ring gasket, and ring
grooves clean with a rag soaked in light

procedure outlined in the various sections of this Gauge Inspection

steps on the form correspond to the numbered steps
in the procedure.
The Ram BOP Inspection Form incorporates all
of the scheduled inspections listed in Table 2-1 of
Section 2. However, not all of the inspections and
tests are necessary for a given inspection interval. To
use the form correctly, check the box at the top of the
form to select the desired inspection interval; fill out
the descriptive sections; perform the necessary in-
spections and tests listed in Table 2-1; and skip the
inspections and tests that do not apply. The inspec-
tions and tests on the form that do not apply can be
crossed out or marked as being not applicable.
NOTE: The Pipe/Variable Ram Form and the
Shear Ram Form are separate forms due to the
requirement for unscheduled gauge inspection of the
rams that often occurs. However, the forms are used
as part of the Ram BOP Form during scheduled
