27 OPERATIONS OPERATIONS 7

28 4. OPERATIONS WARNING: Maintain adequate safaty distance. 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. Safety Make sure that ALL hydraulic lines are isolated (disconnected) before any work is carried out on the elevator. It is recommended to have the elevator operated by the driller. The elevator is activated with a remote control valve, which may be actuated by hand or foot depending on the type of valve and/or HMI-interface. The driller (and or the floor man) must coordinate operation of the elevator 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. Operation Running in OPERATIONS.

32 ... Bushing wear/bore code check Wear of Equipment Normal wear of bushings, bore and elevator ears caused by usage will eventually reduce the load capacity of elevators. The existence of cracks or the appearance of defects can indicate severe deterioration and even failures. Prompt attention is required either to remove the elevator from service immediately or to undertake appropriate repair. A wear condition in its early stages is common. Frequently, it results in a tool joint sticking to the elevator. Elevators showing hammer marks around the top of the bore should be closely examined to determine whether it is the elevator, the tool joint or both are faulty. To indentify the conditions of the 8 Elevator taper gauges are available for all B+V Elevators (P/N 60008). A set of gauges consists of an 8 gauge (GOOD) and a 5 gauge (BAD). How to check the bushing the correct way. Fit the gauge to the inner bore of the bushing or the bore.. Push the gauge against the bushing and start to move the gauge downwards until the chamfer touched the 8 shoulder or to the bore. 3. Check the result as follows: Check of results. Using the GOOD gauge: If the gauge sits directly on the bushing without showing any clearance between gauge and bushing, the bushing is OK.. If the gauge shows space between the gauge and the bushing, you have to check with the second gauge. 3. Using the BAD 5 gauge: If the gauge shows any clearance between gauge and bushing, the bushing is OK. 4. If the gauge sits directly on the bushing without showing any space between gauge and bushing, take the elevator out of service. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Gap or no gap? WARNING: If the taper is less than 5 take the elevator out of service or exchange the bushing. If the taper is between 8 and 5, reduce the elevators load capacity to 90%. Never use the elevator without a bushing. Blohm+Voss 8 and 5 gauge (P/N 60008) 3
