A BOP equipped with tandem boosters can deliver increased shearing force while not in-
creasing the wear and tear on the packers. Tandem boosters approximately double the
force available to shear pipe. Since the tailrod of the tandem booster has the same stroke
as the BOP’s operating piston, the standard shear locking mechanism can be installed on
the outside end of the booster. For information on lock screws and the required spacers,
see pages 17, 19 and 21.
For information concerning applications where a tandem booster is required, consult
your Cameron representative.
