3 Working Principles and Structure Characteristics
3.1 Working principle
3.1.1 Hydraulic control principle
When pressure oil of hydraulic
pressure system is pumped into the
closing cavity of left and right cylinder, it
pushes the piston with ram shaft and ram
assembly to move to the center along the
orbit limited by the guide rid in the ram
chamber to realize well sealing. When it
pumped into the opening cavity of left and
right cylinder, it pushes the piston with ram
shaft and ram assembly to move to the
center to open the wellhead. The
conversion valve of hydraulic pressure
system controls the ram switch; Ram
switch force is direct ratio with the forced
area of piston and the hydraulic pressure
on this area.
3.1.2 Principle of Sealing
Ram BOP has 4 sealing parts in order
.
Fig3-1 The Consist parts of Ram BOP

to seal the wellhead effectively. The ram
top seal and body seal; sealing between
ram front seal and the pipe; sealing
between the body and the side door;
sealing between ram and the side door.
Produce of ram sealing divided into 2
steps. First when closing the ram, ram
shaft affected by hydraulic oil pushes ram
front seal rubber to press the front part of
sealing distorted and seal off pipe string or
well hole forming front sealing, over
compression between the top seal rubber
and the body seal the top part, forming top
sealing and accomplishes primary sealing.
Second when there is pressure in the well,
it pushes the ram front seal from back part
of ram to extrude distortion more deeply,
at the same time, the ram up against the
body seal face, thus forming reliable
sealing. This is called well pressure
assisting sealing
 SL Ram BOP Manual Rev.A1

3.2 Structural features of main parts

Ram BOP consists of some main parts such as body, side door, cylinder, piston, ram
shaft, locking shaft, cylinder head, and ram assembly etc.

Main pressure-containing parts such as

body and side door are cast with high-quality
alloy steel, the material conform to NACE
MR-01-75 specification, apply to the working
condition of acid medium and speci`ally heat
treatment. The pressure-containing parts has
do the hydrostatic test in accordance to the
specification of API 16A to ensure safety
during operating under working pressure.

There are high supporting rib and oblique

plane for settling and sloping to the well hole at
the bottom of the ram cavity of the body,
de-sanding automatically when opening and
closing the ram, prevent blocking and reducing
friction of the ram. It is also helpful for well
pressure assisting ram seal.

There is a guide-block on the front end of

ram, it can plug in the groove of the opposite
ram and the slope of guide-block can move
grilling tool toward well bore during closing
rams, ensure reliable sealing between the ram
and drilling tool.

The BOP using the inner flow to avoid

damaging the pipe during installing,
transporting and operating.

Ensure to seal well more safety and

reliable, there is a manual-operated control
system. If the control system of BOP is out of
control, you can use the manual-operated one
to close the ram. If you want to seal well for a
long time, then you can use manual-operated
control system. (See 3.2.6 )

Top, bottom and flange outlet connection

dimensions conform to Specification for
Drilling Through Equipment API Spec 16A.

 SL Ram BOP Manual Rev.A1

3.2.1 Pipe ram assembly

ram assembly consists of ram

Ram block
block, holder, rubber and retracting
screw. Top and bottom of rams are
Retaining
symmetric. When top surface of the
Ram assembly Screw
ram rubber has been worn seriously,
another side can be used to prolong Holder
rubber life.
Retracting
For various size drilling tools, only Screw
need to change relevant rubber and
Rubber
ram block including blind ram, other
element are universal.
Fig 3-2 Pipe ram assembly

Floating performance of the ram is good. Because the ram seat (ram holder) and the
ram body (block) are separated, the ram can move slightly in the holder to ensure
positive alignment of the rubber faces as face seal contact occurs. There is 3mm
installation clearance between the ram body and the ram seat. When shutting off the ram,
the holder extrudes top rubber and makes it deform and bulge up to enhance
effectiveness of sealing and reduces the wear of the ram packer.
Note: The sign of “HO” (Hang-Off) on the ram body indicates that drilling tools could be
hanged on. Drilling tools shall not be hanged on the ram assembly without the sign of "HO".

3.2.4 Secondary Seal System

The sealing part between the door and the Ram Shaft is comprised of two parts. The
first one is the sealing wellhead. And the other one is the oil pressure for sealing the
hydraulic control. The secondary seal is at the middle of the two parts. Generally, the
sealing is highly reliable by the sealing ring of several structure. But the sealing ring may
be damaged due to not being maintained for a long term or other reasons, leakage may
happen during well sealing. The secondary seal will be needed for emergency handling.
At the condition of well sealing, if any fluid flows from the access hole (at the bottom
of the door), the sealing ring shall have been damaged. Whether the sealing ring for well
sealing pressure or that for the oil sealing pressure is damaged can be damaged
according to the property of fluid. Now remove the Z1″ external hex blocking for greasing
hole at the top immediately. Rotate the hole screws clockwise by a socket head wrench.
Eject the secondary sealing grease in bar shape to the annular space via a one-way
valve, so as to reinforce the sealing ring and make sealing compensation.

Precautions during usage of secondary sealing device:

 To prevent the secondary sealing grease from being solidified and invalid when
the BOP is not used for a long term, the secondary sealing grease bar shall not
be mounted when the BOP leaves out of factory, and our company also doesn't
recommend to install the secondary sealing grease bar when the BOP is not
used. It shall not be mounted before being inserted to the well, and removed
after well completion and maintenance. It shall be washed to keep clean.
 Special tools shall be prepared in advance for urgent need.
 Observe frequently from the access hole (internal hexagonal plug screws with
hole) at the bottom whether drilling fluid or oil fluid flows during usage of BOP.
 After the sealing ring becomes invalid, the secondary sealing grease shall not be
ejected excessively, which shall be subject to the standard that the observation
hole would not be leaked. Because the friction resistance of secondary sealing
grease is high and particles are adhered, a major damage may happen to the
Ram Shaft.

3.2.6 Manual locking mechanism of ram

The manual locking mechanism of ram is comprised of locking shaft, ram shaft,
manual-operated rod and hand wheel etc. (The length is generally 3.38m and 3.8m, or
customized).
The effect of manual locking mechanism is when it takes a long time to have well
sealing, and after the ram is closed hydraulically, rotate the hand wheel by manual force,
and lock the ram at the closed position. At this time, the hydraulic pressure may be
released.
 Locking -- When it is locked manually, rotate the hand wheel clockwise, and drive
the locking shaft for rotation by a joystick. Because the locking shaft locates at
the clamp seat, rotate the locking shaft to push it at the rear of cylinder head,
forcing the ram shaft moving toward the center of wellhead and locking the ram
assembly. (The rotation number is shown in Table 2-5 and Table 2-6 ).
 Unlocking -- The manual locking device can just close the ram instead of opening
the ram. If to open the ram that has been locked manually, firstly reset and
unlock the locking device manually, and open the ram by hydraulic pressure.
This is the only way. The detailed operation method is:
 Firstly rotate the hand wheel to the terminal point counter-clockwise (The
rotation number is shown in Table 2-5 and Table 2-6);
 And then rotate back for 1/8～1/4 turns, to prevent the lock screw from
jamming during change of temperature;
 And then the ram is opened by hydraulic pressure.

32
 SL Ram BOP Manual Rev.A1

After assemble, the following parts should be checked:

 In-walls of the hydraulic cylinder: the inner surfaces of the hydraulic cylinder
have the longitudinal strain but the strain is the slight linear friction strain or the
dot strain, which can be recovered by the extremely fine sand paper and oil
stone. If the strain is too deep and oil leak is still available regardless of having
replaced the new seal ring, recover the inner surface of the cylinder by the
mechanical processing method and meanwhile check relevant parts of the piston
to find out the strain reasons and solve them.
 The surfaces of the ram shaft and locking shaft: in the case of the strain on
the seal surface, the judging and handling method is the same with that of the
cylinder. If the solder peels off, it will cause the heavy leak. At this time, it is
required to replace with the new part or recover the damaged parts.
 Seal ring: check if there is abrasion in the lip of the sealing parts and if there is
extrusion and cut wound on the O-Ring first. In case of any damage or scratch
found in the sealing parts, replace them timely.
 Piston: when the moving seal surface of the piston has over 0.2mm-depth
uneven wear, replace it. On its surface, there should be no obvious scars which
may have an impact on seal. If the solder peels off, it will cause the heavy leak.
At this time, it is required to replace with the new part or recover the damaged
parts.

5.6 Installation Notes

The installation order is contrary to that of disassembly. Note the following points:

 Check if there is the burr or sharp edge on the parts. If any, remove them to
ensure no scratch caused to the seal ring. Note to clean parts.
 Grease the seal ring while installing it. Grease the relative sealing surface to
facilitate installation.
 Note the direction of the lip type seal ring and ensure opening of the lip to be
opposite the direction with pressure.
 Make the seal ring to smoothly pass the guiding part of the shaft head and avoid
scratch

5.7 Daily Maintenance

When the hydraulic pressure exceeding 3.5MPa (500psi) is needed to operate the
ram assembly, check the blocking condition in the body chamber and handle the
abnormity.
Operate and test BOP once every week according to API STD53 requirements.
▲！Note: in case of no drill columns in the well, please do not close the pipe ram or
variable bore ram to avoid causing the damage to the rubber core.

6 Preservation procedures
Prior to shipping and storage, all equipment should avoid direct sunlight, rain and
snow shower, keep them away from acid and alkali, organic solution etc, which would
affect the quality of rubber material.

6.1 Storing for periods greater than 30 days

 All equipment shall be drained after testing and prior to storage;
 Prior to storage, parts and equipment shall have exposed metallic surfaces
protected with a rust preventative that does not become fluid and run at a
temperature of less than 50°C (125℉) (Recommendation: Lithium base grease 3#);
 All connection faces and ring gasket grooves shall be protected with durable
covers during storage;
 The hydraulic operating system shall be flushed with a non-freezing,
corrosion-inhibiting fluid. Ports shall be plugged prior to storing
(Recommendation: Antiwear hydraulic oil 32#) .

6.2 Storage of Rubber Parts

All rubber parts shall be properly stored according to the following regulations:
 It is a must to store rubber parts in the indoor, low light and dry place with
temperature of 0-25ºC and relative humidity 50% ~ 85% and to keep them away
from the heating equipment and direct sunlight. It’s better to preserve them in the
original packaging or the packaging similar to the original packaging materials,
which has the function of shading.
 Keep rubber parts clean while in storage. Prevent them from being contaminated
by solvents, oil, grease or other semi-solid or liquid matters and from being
directly contacted with sulphur, manganese, copper, copper alloy (including
bronze), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), timber containing wood preservative oil and
other rubber products including different rubber constituents.
 Keep rubber parts away from ozone-generating equipment( e.g.: mercury vapor
lamp, high-voltage electrical equipment, electric motor or any electrical devices
which can generate electric arc; avoid being directly exposed under the sunlight
or the light (e.g.: the fluorescent lamp) containing plenty of ultraviolet.
 Store the rubber parts which are under the slack state and have no bending,
extrusion and hanging. It is not allowed to tie the tag on the rubber parts by the
string, metal wire or adhesive tape in order to prevent causing deformation to the
sealing surface.
 Check the rubber parts frequently. In the case that they have clamminess,
softening, hardening, aging, embrittlement, cracking, bending, flaw etc, it is not
 Generally, the storage period of rubber parts is 2 years.
