22 4. OPERATIONS 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 VES-CL Elevator operated by the driller. 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 / Tripping OPERATIONS 1. The VES-CL elevator is lowered around the tooljoint and elevator is closed. 2. A signal is given to the driller when the VES-CL elevator is closed. 3. The pipe is made up. 4. The driller lifts the VES-CL elevator in order to pick up the load. 5. The slips/spider is commanded to open, simultaneously, the driller picks up the elevator while the driller raises the spider/slips. 6. The driller lowers the string into the hole. 7. The driller sets the spider/slips. 8. Open the VES-CL elevator and pick up a new section of pipe. Operation Running out / Tripping 1. The VES-CL elevator is lowered around the tooljoint and the elevator is closed. 2. Raise the spider/slips. 3. Pull out the string. 4. Close the spider/slips. 5. Release the stringweight from the VES-CL Elevator by lowering it slightly. 6. Now run out the stand or joint. 7. When the pipe is running out, pick up the stand and set it back. 8. Open the VES-CL Elevator and guide pipe out. 9. Lower VES-CL Elevator and pick up the string at rigfloor. 22

23 MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION 23

24 5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION General Lubrication The elevator needs to be lubricated daily on the following points. Use a grease gun: Grease points: 1. The hinge pin. 2. The latch pin. 3. Springs. Locking of screws All screws are normally secured by mechanical bolt lock or with a lock wire. Check daily. 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 Type AVIATICON Grease XRF Grease Fitting 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. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Grease Fitting 24

25 Bushing Wear Check Wear of Equipment Normal wear of bushings 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 18 Elevator taper gauges are available for all B + V Elevators (P/N ). A set of gauges consists of an 18 gauge (GOOD) and a 15 gauge (BAD). How to check the bushing the correct way 1. Fit the gauge to the inner bore of the bushing. 2. Push the gauge against the bushing and start to move the gauge downwards until the chamfer touched the 18 shoulder. 3. Check the result as follows: Check of results 1. Using the GOOD gauge: If the gauge sits directly on the bushing without showing any clearance between gauge and bushing, the bushing is OK. 2. If the gauge shows space between the gauge and the bushing, you have to check with the second gauge. 3. Using the BAD 15 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. WARNING: If the taper is less than 15 take the elevator out of service or exchange the bushing. If the taper is between 18 and 15, reduce the elevators load capacity to 90%. Never use the elevator without a bushing. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Gap or no Gap? Blohm+Voss 18 and 15 gauge (P/N ) 25

26 Minimum ear dimensions WARNING: Minimum ear dimensions are only valid when the elevator is in otherwise good condition, does not have excessive wear, cracks or other defects, or previous weld repair and has not been misused. This inspection criteria can not on their own determine the overall condition of the elevator and its suitability for continued use.

27 Tool Joint Wear Data Drill Pipe Check for wear of the Bushing/Elevator by measuring the Center Bore diameter. The maximum wear on the Center Bore is: Nominal size + 0,25 inch. The following table shows the minimum required Tool Joint diameter, depending on the Center Bore and rating of the Elevator. As soon as the Tool Joint diameter falls below the rating line, the Bushing/Elevator or the pipe has to be changed (Contact B + V or a B + V Authorized Repair Center) Minimum required Tool Joint Diamter (inches) MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION tons 750 tons 500 tons 350 tons 250 tons 150 tons 100 tons 1000 tons 750 tons 500 tons 350 tons 250 tons 150 tons 100 tons Actual 5Center Bore 6 (inches) 7 8 Tool Joint Diameter "D" Actual Center Bore "E" 27

28 Inspection categories acc. to API RP 8B MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION Category I This category involves observing the equipment during operation for indications of inadequate performance. When in use, 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 suitableequipped facility to the extent necessary to permit full inspection of all primary-loadcarrying 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. paintstripping, steam-cleaning, gritblasting) Frequency Periodic inspection The recommended schedule for inspection of all kind of Elevators is as follows: 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/pneumatic 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. 28

29 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.
