Functioning of elevator
DESCRIPTION
When the door and latch are open, the drill pipe 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

B+V VES-SD-ELEVATOR Hydraulic fine
adjustment
The Hydraulic system of the Elevator is tested and delivered fully
functional with the specified hydraulic power requirements.
When during the commissioning no function or incomplete

function occurs, the following hydraulic settings can be
optimised. Any change of the settings are allowed by B+V
personnel or by B+V authorised and trained personnel only.
COMMISIONINGS
Failure to perform these adjustments may result in damage or

severe personal injury.
WARNING: FOR ADJUSTMENT WORK ENSURE THAT THE QUICK DISCONNECT

COUPLINGS BETWEEN THE TOOL AND CONTROL CONSOLE ARE PROPERLY
CONNECTED.
WARNING: FOR ANY REPAIR WORK ENSURE THAT THE ENTIRE ELEVATOR IS DE-
PRESSURERISED AND THE QUICK DISCONNECT COUPLINGS ARE DISCONNECTED.
Hydraulic Adjustment
The hydraulic valves are located inside two manifold blocks (P/N
645295-1 and 645295-2).
All valve numbers are in accordance to the stamping at the

manifold. For every adjustment start with very little rotations
(1/8 or 1/16) and verify the function again.
Adjustments of the Door

Valve no.15 is for adjustment of
the particular time when the door
has to open (if the door opens
to early it will stuck with the Latch)
- counter clockwise rotation
causes earlier Door Opening.
- clockwise rotation Valve No. 15
causes later Door Opening.
(Valve no.16 has the same

function as Valve no. 15, but
is a more precise adjustment Valve No. 16
for fine tuning)
Valve no.06 is to adjust the speed of the Door Closing.

- Counter clockwise rotation increases the speed
- Clockwise rotation reduces the speed Valve No. 06 Valve No. 07
Valve no.07 is to adjust the speed of the Door Opening.
- Counter clockwise rotation increases the speed
- Clockwise rotation reduces the speed

Valve No. 07
Adjustments of the Latch
Valve no.09 is to adjust the speed of

Latch Opening.
- Counter clockwise rotation increases

COMMISIONING
- Counter clockwise rotation increases
the speed
Valve No. 07
If the Door/Latch movement is not smooth, it is recommended
Hydraulic manifold p/n 645295-1 to reduce the speed. Higher speed can cause a slip-stick
effect while opening/closing (especially when the elevator is
rotated with the Door/Latch in upwards/ downwards position).

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.
If there is an interference, the elevator can

be opened even though the load sensor is
activated (Emergency Open).
WARNING: THE EMERGENCY OPENING MAY NOT BE

INSTALLATION
USED WHEN THE ELEVATOR IS SUSPENDING A PIPE.
Emergency open procedure

The emergency opening is on the rear
of the elevator between the hydraulic
connections A, B and C. It is labelled with
“EMERGENCY OPEN“.
The protruding rectangle is rotated

90 degrees to turn on the emergency
opening. The closing trigger tool can be
used for this.
WARNING: THE EMERGENCY OPENING MUST ALWAYS BE

REACTIVATED AFTER IT IS USED, OTHERWISE THE LOAD
SENSOR WILL BE DEACTIVATED WHICH MAY RESULT IN A
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

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
1. Make sure that ALL hydraulic lines are isolated before any work is
carried out on the VES-SD Elevator.
2. It is recommended to have the VES-SD Elevator operated by the driller.
3. 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.
4. 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.

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

5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
General
If cracks, excessive wear etc. are recognised, contact Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH
or an authorised service company.
Weldings of the castings should be done by Blohm + Voss Repair GmbH only or an
authorised service company in accordance to Blohm+Voss welding procedures.
A regular preventative maintenance program should be established for all
elevators. These written maintenance procedures should be given to the crew or
maintenance personnel.
WARNING: BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE HYDRAULIC OIL
SUPPLY.
Grease quality
In order to achieve efficient greasing
even at different environmental
temperatures, we recommend the
following grease types should be used
(obtainable from Blohm + Voss Repair
GmbH):
• Low-Viscosity grease
• Type AVIATICON Grease XRF
Alternatively;
Use EP1 gear lubricating grease for
greasing ”non-oil tight gear trains”
when temp. < 0°C/32°F. 1
Use EP2 when temp. > 0°C/32°F.

Inspection categories acc. to API RP 8B
Category I
This category involves observing the equipment during operation for indications
of inadequate performance. Equipment shall be visually inspected on a daily basis
for cracks, loose fits or connections, elongation of part, and other signs of wear,
corrosion or overloading. Any parts found to show cracks, excessive wear, etc.,
shall be removed from service for further examination. The equipment shall be
visually inspected by a person knowledgeable in that equipment and its function.
Category II
This is Category I inspection plus further inspection for corrosion, deformation,
loose or missing components, deterioration, proper lubrication, visible external
cracks, and adjustment. Category II may involve some disassembly to access
specific components and to identify wear that exceeds the allowable tolerances.
Category III
This is Category II inspection plus further inspection, which should include NDT of
critical areas and may involve some disassembly to access specific components
and to identify wear that exceeds the allowable tolerances. Prior to inspection, all
foreign material such as dirt, paint, grease, oil, scale, etc. shall be removed from
the concerned parts by a suitable method (e.g. paint-stripping, steam-cleaning,
grit-blasting)
Category IV
This is Category III inspection plus further inspection for which the equipment is
disassembled to the extent necessary to conduct NDT of all primary-load-carrying
components.
Equipment shall be:
• disassembled in a suitable-equipped facility to the extent necessary to permit
full inspection of all primary-load-carrying components and other components
that are critical to the equipment.
• inspected for excessive wear, cracks, flaws and deformation.
Procedure
MAINTENANCE
& INSPECTION
• Corrections shall be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations.
• Prior to inspection, all foreign material such as dirt, paint, grease, oil, scale,
etc. shall be removed from the concerned parts by a suitable method
(e.g. paint-stripping, steam-cleaning, grit-blasting)
Frequency
Periodic inspection
The recommended schedule for inspection of all kind of Elevators and bushings
are as follows:
42
Ongoing Inspection category I
Daily: Inspection category II
Every 6 months: Inspection category III
Every 1 year: Inspection category IVThe recommended frequencies
apply for equipment in use during the specified period.
The inspection frequencies are only recommendations. The schedule of inspection

heavily depends on the following factors:
• environment
• load cycles
• regulatory requirements
• operating time
• testing
• repairs
• re manufacture
Non-periodic inspection
A complete, on-job, shut-down inspection equivalent to the periodical Category III
or Category IV should be made before (if anticipated) and after critical jobs (e.g.,
running heavy casing / drill strings, jarring, pulling on stuck pipes and/or operating
at extreme low temperatures) <20° C (<68° F).
