Operational safety issues

WARNING: Never open the elevator when the pipe load is still suspended by the elevator.

WARNING: Observe the elevator continuously while closing to check if the elevator is
properly closed.

WARNING: All warning plates, signs and labels attached to the equipment must be observed.

WARNING: Do never unlatch/open the elevator while a pipe is suspended in the elevator; the
pipe will be lost!

WARNING: Using the elevator with damaged or worn parts can create serious incidents.

WARNING: The picking up of horizontal or tilted pipes is dangerous. This use is not permitted.
Due to the danger it should not be performed by operating personnel. The lifting of vertical
pipes is to be performed carefully and must be monitored.

WARNING: Any modification to the elevator carried out without the approval of Blohm + Voss
will void any warranty.

Safety

• It is recommended to have the SJ Elevator operated by the driller.

• The driller (and or the floor man) must coordinate operation of the elevator
OPERATIONS

and slips/spider so one tool is engaged around the tubular before the other is
disengaged. Thus, one or both tools continuously suspend the tubular during all
stages of pipe handling operations.

 5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

General
If cracks, excessive wear etc. are
recognised, contact Blohm + Voss Oil
Tools or an authorised service company.
Weldings of the castings should be
done by Blohm + Voss Oil Tools 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.

Grease daily 1
All greasing points which are labelled
"Grease daily" must be greased at least
once a day. It can be necessary to carry
this out more often depending on use.

Grease points
1. Grease nipple for hinge pin
2. Spring for locking mechanism

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 Oil Tools):
• Low-Viscosity grease
MAINTENANCE
& INSPECTION

• Type AVIATICON Grease XRF NGL10 2

Alternatively;
• Use EP1 gear lubricating grease for
greasing ”non-oil tight gear trains”
when temp. < 0°C/32°F.
• Use EP2 when temp. > 0°C/32°F.

Daily Inspection Procedures
Maintenance
1. Keep clean.
2. Grease swivel suspension contact surfaces, latch and bore seat surface.
3. Lubricate hinge pin and latch mechanism.
4. Remove any rust and weather protect as required.
5. Check and secure pins and fasteners.

18 degrees Shoulder Elevators

18 degrees shoulder elevators in heavy use will wear under the repeated loads
of the drilling operation. The shoulders gradually become rounded and offer less
supporting area. If this peening of the elevator load - bearing surface is allowed to
continue unchecked long enough, the bore will be reduced by the gradual flow of
metal until the elevator is difficult to close and lock around pipe. Worn or damaged
shoulder surfaces of elevators are easily corrected by properly machining these
surfaces.

At the same time the worn surface of both, the tool joint and the elevator may
contact on a slight taper which could cause extreme opening forces within the
elevator. That this condition could exist is admittedly rare, but indifference to
wear could allow it to happen, and the result could be a bad accident. Worn or
damaged square shoulder surfaces of elevators are easily corrected by properly
machining these surfaces.
Inspect the collars for squareness, and uniformity and depth of wear. Uneven
wear or worn recesses of 1/16 inch (1,6 mm) or more requires refacing of collar
surface. Hinge Pins and springs should be carefully inspected visually for excess
wear and obvious weakness.

Locking of screws
All Screws are normally secured by a mechanical bolt lock or with a safety wire.
All other screws are secured by metal adhesive (Locktite).

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
22
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:
• 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-

Periodic inspection
The recommended schedule for
inspection of all kind of
• Elevators:
Ongoing I
Daily: II
6 Monthly: III
1 Year: IV
The 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 (<-4° F).
Inspection
A thorough inspection should be
carried out periodically (every 3
months) or as special circumstances
may require. Before starting an
inspection disconnect hydraulic system
and remove all foreign materials (dirt,
paint, grease Oil, scale, etc.) from
surface by a suitable method. After a
field inspection, it is advisable to record
the extent of testing and testing results.
Conduct the periodic or critical load
inspection in the field by the crew with
the supervisor.
If cracks, excessive wear etc. is
recognized, contact Blohm + Voss
Oil Tools or an authorized service
company.
Critical Load Inspection
Critical loads may occur. For example:
impact loads such as jarring, pulling on
stuck pipe, etc. If critical loads occurred
unexpectedly, conduct the inspection
immediately.
Dismantling Inspection
Generally, when the equipment returns
to base, warehouse, etc. Carry out
the Tool inspection, immediately.
Furthermore, control it prior to its being
sent on the next job.
• The Tool should be dismantled and
inspected in a suitably equipped
facility for excessive wear, cracks,
flaws or deformations.
• Corrections should be made in
accordance with recommendations
which can be obtained from Blohm
+ Voss Oil Tools.
• Weldings at the castings should
be done only by Blohm + Voss
Oil Tools or an authorized
service company in according to
Blohm+Voss welding procedure.
• When need is shown in a field
inspection, dismantle the Tool and
arrange an inspection in a suitably
equipped facility.
• Springs should be carefully visually
inspected for excessive wear and
obvious weakness.

 Measuring of Wear
Hinge pins, latch pins and socket holes are not normally measured for wear in
the field. When it becomes apparent that the hinge or latch pins are loosing the
elevator should be dismantled for general engineering check up.

For square shoulder elevators a rule marked in sixteenth of an inch as adequate.

The straight edge of a rule is used to check the squareness of the top bore and the
end of a rule is inserted into the worn pockets and ridges. Wear of 1/16 inch (1,6
mm) or more should require refacing of collar surface.
