 Avoid contact with the escaping jet stream of air if a rupture or break occurs in a
pressurized pneumatic circuit.
 Verify that pneumatic source power is cut off and that all pneumatic pressure is
completely vented before attempting any corrective action on the pneumatic circuit.
All pneumatic pressure gauges must read 0 psi.

Hydraulic Circuit Safety Precautions

Hydraulic source power is produced by the control units at pressures and volumes high
enough to warrant precautionary measures. Observing the precautions listed below will
prevent damage to equipment and injury to personnel that might result from hydraulic
power.
 Supply the proper hydraulic fluid to ensure proper operation of the control system
units.
 Filter hydraulic fluid to prevent any dirt or debris from entering the hydraulic circuit.
 Remove spilled hydraulic fluid immediately. Investigate and correct the cause of any
leakage of hydraulic fluid.
 Change immediately to dry clothing if clothing becomes drenched with hydraulic
fluid. Prolonged contact with hydraulic fluid is injurious to health.
 Ensure that the pressure relief valves are in working condition and are set to relieve
at their designated pressure levels.
 Avoid contact with the escaping jet stream of hydraulic fluid if a rupture or break
occur in a pressurized hydraulic circuit.
 Never torque leaking connections or fittings while lines are pressurized. Application
of torque to fittings or connections while lines are pressurized may rupture lines and
result in injury to personnel.
 Verify that the electric and pneumatic source power is turned off and all hydraulic
pressure is completely vented before attempting any corrective action on the
hydraulic circuit. All hydraulic pressure gauges must read 0 psi.
 Use only nitrogen gas when precharging accumulators. Using another gas may
cause unit failure or explosion.

Cable and Hose Safety Precautions

Observing the precautions listed below will prevent damage to equipment and injury to
personnel that might result from damage to cables and/or hoses.
 Protect electrical cables, pneumatic hoses, and hydraulic hoses from cutting,
scraping, pinching, abrasion or other physical damage.
 Route cables and hoses outside of the crew’s traffic patterns and away from
mechanical equipment.
 Observe the prescribed minimum bend radius for cables and hoses. Twisting or
bending cables or hoses beyond the minimum bend radius can rupture the
insulation and damage the conductors.

Welding and Cutting Safety Precautions

Observing the precautions listed below will prevent damage to equipment and injury to
personnel that might result from improper welding or cutting procedures.
 Do not weld or operate acetylene cutting torches near unprotected electrical cable,
flexible hose, or hose bundles. Weld spatter can seriously damage the hose or
cable.
 Prevent weld slag or spatter from entering the hydraulic system.

Work Area Safety Precautions

Work should be performed in an area free of any dangerous obstructions, chemicals or
hazards of any kind in order to prevent or reduce the severity of an injury. The precautions
listed below should be observed in order to maintain a safe working environment.
 Remove any dangerous obstruction located overhead, to the side, or on the
surrounding floor of the work area as safely and quickly as possible utilizing the
appropriate personnel.
 Remove any flammable materials located or spilled within or near the work area.
Flammable materials include, but are not limited to, the following:
 Oily rags, paper products, or any combustible solid
 Kerosene, gasoline, or any combustible liquid
 Oxygen tanks, acetylene tanks, or any combustible gas
 Correct or remove any condition, situation, or circumstance that may pose serious
hazard(s) to the work area.

Introduction

Description
The FT Marine Drilling Riser Joint is designed as an American Petroleum Institute (API),
Class E riser. The riser serves as a conduit between the drilling vessel and the subsea
well head. The riser incorporates auxiliary lines that are used for well control as well as a
supply line for the subsea BOP control system. The riser is also the deployment vehicle for
the subsea BOP Stack.
The marine riser is a flange type riser with an outside diameter of 21 inches (23.34 cm).
The external lines consist of one 15,000 psi (1,034 bar) Choke line and one 15,000 psi
(1,034 bar) Kill line. The C/K lines have an outside diameter of 5 inches (127 mm) and an
inside diameter of 3 inches (76 mm).
The FT marine riser is run with the seal sub-up and flange-down (see Figure 2-1 for Seal
Sub/Flange to Flange Connection and Figure 2-2 on page 2-2 for External Line
Orientation).

The primary method of attaching one riser joint to the next riser joint is through the bolt
flange to seal sub flange assemblies. The FT type riser is equipped with six acme thread
bolts, which secure the upper riser flange to the lower riser seal sub flange. Both the bolt
flange and the seal sub flange are equipped with replaceable acme thread stud nuts. Two
socket head cap screws retain each acme thread bolt nut in place (see Figure 2-4 on page
2-4). The acme bolt is undercut below the threaded area to allow the bolt to be retained in
the bolt flange. The bolt can be rotated counterclockwise into the acme thread stud nut in
the bolt flange to protect the bolt thread and also prevent it from being lost overboard. To
retain the flanges together the bolt is rotated clockwise from the bolt flange into the acme
thread stud nut on the seal sub flange. The six bolts are tightened to a torque value of
7,500 ft-lb (10,168 Nm).
When the riser flanges are disconnected, the six bolts do not have to be removed for
storage because the acme thread washers retain the bolts in the stored position on the
flange.
A seal sub with O-rings prevents the riser fluid from leaking between the flange-to-flange
connections. The seal sub is retained in the seal sub flange by two setscrews (see Figure
2-3 on page 2-3).

Riser Tension
The riser requires an over-pull, otherwise the riser will fatigue and riser failure will result.
There are many variables that effect the riser. The following is a general list that effect the
riser performance:
 Climatic weather conditions
 Sea state and under-currents
 Water depth
 Weight of the riser in water
 Drilling fluid (mud) weight in the riser.
The above information is required before the proper over-pull by the riser tensioner system
can be applied. An independent riser analysis is required to determine the required riser
over-pull.

FT Marine Drilling Riser Rating

The FT Marine Drilling Riser Connector is rated as the following:

Main Tube 2,000,000 lb equivalent tension or 3,000 psi

maximum working pressure

Choke Line 5 O.D. X 1 wall, 15,000 psi maximum working

pressure

Kill Line 5 O.D. X 1 wall, 15,000 psi maximum working

pressure

The FT Marine Drilling Riser main tube is rated as defined by the American Petroleum
Institute API 2R and 16R at 2,000,000 lb. (907,184 Kg) force maximum equivalent tension
and 207 bar (3,000 psi) internal bore pressure not to be concurrent with maximum
equivalent tensile load.

These loads are not to be applied simultaneously. The

operating envelope is determined by a Global Riser
Analysis. This analysis is site and situation specific. The
rating of the connector and the riser joint does not
guarantee the riser is acceptable in all situations. The
limitations of the riser system must be determined for the
design environment on a case-by-case basis. For further
information, API RP16 Q should be referenced.

External Lines
All external line pin and box ends should be inspected for damage. Any damaged pin or
box end will require the line to be replaced or returned to a NOV service facility for repair.
All external lines are held in place by a retainer sleeve (see Figure 3-1). Install the retainer
sleeve onto the line and tighten the retainer sleeve until it bottoms out, rotate the retainer
sleeve 34 inches (19 mm) and install the four set screws. Torque each setscrew to 15-20
ft-lb (20 Nm). This adjustment applies to all lines on the FT riser joint.

ii
If the riser is horizontal when adjusting the external lines,
the external lines may require to be supported in order to
achieve proper adjustment.

A special face wrench (P/N 20036462) is required to tighten the retainer sleeve (see
Figure 3-2 on page 3-3.

There are three line clamps on the 50 ft. riser joints, 1 line clamp on the 25 ft. riser joint,
and 1 line clamp on the 15 ft riser joints. There are no line clamps on the remaining riser
pup joints. The purpose of the line clamps are to support the external lines while under
pressure (see Figure 3-3). Prior to running the riser, the external line clamp spacing
should be verified as specified on the engineering drawings located in the Chapter 9, titled
"Drawings and Bills of Materials".

Pre-Installation Inspection
Prior to the installation of the riser a preliminary inspection should be made. The
inspection should be performed in accordance to established procedures defined by the
rig operator. Prior to inspection of the riser remove all flange and external line protectors
and thoroughly clean. It is recommended that a fresh water hydro-blast or steam cleaning
method be used. The following guidelines should be considered when establishing an
inspection procedure
1. Check the riser joint for external damage, i.e. buoyancy material, external lines, and
clamps.
2. Remove the riser and external line pin and box protectors and inspect all surfaces
for damage.
3. Check all seals for damage and replace as necessary.
4. Check the bore of the riser and all external piping to ensure there are no
obstructions.
5. If the riser and external line connectors were cleaned for inspection reapply a film of
65% molybdenum disulfide grease.
6. Reinstall the protectors after the inspection. Do not remove the protectors until the
riser is ready to be installed in the spider.

Riser Bolt Torque Procedures

Prior to running the riser coat the bolt threads and bolt washers with 65% molybdenum
disulfide grease.
After the riser bolts have been hand tightened there are several acceptable ways of
applying torque to the bolts.
Procedure 1 — Using a torque wrench torque the riser bolts to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm).
Procedure 2 — Preload the riser bolts per the make up sequences (See Figure 3-5 on
page 3-6) to approximately 1,000 ft-lb (1,356 Nm) using an air impact wrench. Then torque
the bolts to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm). By first preloading the riser bolts with an air impact
wrench, the bolts can be torqued to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm) in any order.
Procedure 3 — If two torque wrenches are available, the bolts can be made up by placing
the torque wrenches directly across from each other then torquing to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169
Nm).

Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance
Under normal operating conditions the riser should be inspected periodically according to
an inspection checklist developed by the rig operator. A routine inspection should include
the following:
 Inspect the general condition of all painted surfaces. Check for paint cracking and
flaking and repaint as needed. Contact the NOV Repair Department for the proper
paint specification to be used when repainting riser.
 Remove the tab holding the seal sub in the box connection, remove the seal sub,
and inspect the condition of the four lip seals. Visually inspect the seal sub for any
marks.
 Check the seal sub grooves for wear.

Do not use pipe dope on pins, boxes and seal subs.

ii
If the main connectors or auxiliary line connectors need to
be cleaned when making inspections, use fresh water and
not sea water. Reapply a light film of high quality grease
such as AP-5 or equivalent to all seals and sealing
surfaces after inspections.

 Inspect the seals on all external lines. Check grooves for wear.
 Develop a schedule to reposition riser joints in the riser string to redistribute the
wear over the entire riser string.
 Check the main riser tube for any damage.
 Check the buoyancy clamps and modules for damage and ensure that they are
securely fastened.
 Ensure the serial number is readable and record number.
A log of the riser joints should be maintained showing location of the riser joint, “rig” or
“beach”. In addition the log should indicate the riser usage, number of wells, depth of
water and average tension if possible.

Corrective Maintenance
 Remove the bolts, clean, and inspect threads for damage.
 Remove the socket head cap screws that hold the riser nuts in the flange and
inspect for damage.
 Remove the seal subs.

ii
The seal subs are removed by first rotating 90° and lifting
out. Some mechanical assistance may be needed to turn
the subs.

There are “Alignment” marks on the seal sub that line up

with a groove on the flange.

 Remove the four lip seals.

ii
Remove any nicks found on the seal subs by using a fine
grit emery cloth (150 grit).

ii
Inspect the following areas using a nondestructive test
method (U.T. or wet magnetic particle).

 Inspect the entire I.D. area of the riser connector.

 Inspect the main tube weld and an area two inches toward the flange and a two foot
area opposite the flange on the outside diameter of the riser connector.
 Inspect the external line connector welds and an area 2 on either side of the welds.
 Inspect the entire I.D. area of the seal sub.

ii
If indications are found, contact the NOV repair department
for corrective action. Do not attempt to make weld repairs
on the riser without first contacting a NOV repair specialist.

 Visually check the O.D. profile area of the seal sub.

 Replace the four lip seals and reinstall the seal subs into the riser connector.

ii
To install seal sub, align the dowel pin with the groove
opening on the flange, push the sub in and rotate 90°.

FT Riser Inspection
The purpose of this inspection is to ensure the structural integrity and performance of the
riser from year to year. As a good preventative maintenance program will ultimately lead to
lower total cost of operation and less downtime, the riser should be inspected on an
ongoing basis to ensure its fit for purpose.
The inspection shall encompass cleaning and polishing of the sealing and load bearing
areas. Surface (NDE) and visual inspection of these items, wall thickness measurement
on main riser and auxiliary line pipes. Ensuring fit for purpose to recognized codes
standards and good engineering practices.
The intention is for the riser to have various levels of inspection throughout its working life.
The interval is based on "In Service Operation" and not by calendar year. The intervals
have been set as:
 Pre-Well
 Post-Well
 Annual
 2 Years
 4 Years
 As required
The Pre and Post well inspections involve visual inspection on the critical sealing and load
carrying components.
The Annual survey includes the activities from the pre and post well inspection. In
addition, limited surface NDE should be performed to ensure that the structural integrity
and critical sealing areas of the riser and auxiliary lines meet good engineering standards
and practices.
The 2 Years inspection interval is intended to perform an expanded surface NDE to ensure
the structural integrity of the critical welds and the high stress areas of the connector.
The intention of the 4-Year Inspection is for the riser to be returned to an approved vendor
workshop for the work to be carried out. The work involves complete disassembly of the
joint, and this work would not be practical on the rig. To accomplish the 4-Year program,
25% of the riser should be returned to the shore without impeding drilling activities.
The company carrying out the inspection shall record all the results and compile a data
book with the information. Also included in the data book shall be Certificates of
Conformance (COC) for each riser joint inspected.

Riser Running Tool

Description
The riser running tool for the FT riser hydraulically locks into the box connection of the
riser joint. As closing pressure is applied to the close side hydraulic circuit the piston
moves to the locked position engaging the lock dog into the mating profile in the riser box
connection. Four indicator pins attached to the piston indicate the movement of the piston.
The running tool is fully engaged when the tops of the pins are flush with the top of the
running tool (see Figure 5-1).

As locking pressure is applied, the piston moves downward
to radially extend the lock dogs into the groove profile of
the riser box connection.

3. Check the position of the indicator pins. The tool is fully engaged when the pins are
flush with the top of the handling tool.
4. After the riser string is landed in the spider unlock the running tool by piloting the
check valve then applying 1,500 psi (103 bar) to the unlock side.

Test Procedure
When the riser string is setting on the spider, test the choke, kill lines and other external
lines. When engaging the test caps the following procedures should be followed:
1. Before stabbing the test caps make sure the caps are not damaged. Remove any
nicks with a 120 grit emery cloth.
2. Position the notch on the test tool handle on the lug for that test caps and then push
down. This will engage the test cap onto the line pin.

3. After engaging the test cap, rotate the handle clockwise until shoulder on the test
cap is locked under the shoulder of the running tool and the spring loaded locking
pin engages the running tool body (see Figure 5-4 on page 5-5).

The primary method of attaching the telescopic joint to the next riser joint is through the
bolt flange to seal sub flange assemblies. The FT type telescopic joint is equipped with six
acme thread bolts and bolt nuts, which secure the telescopic joint flange to the lower riser
seal sub flange. The seal sub flange is equipped with six replaceable acme thread bolt
nuts. A socket head cap screw and anti-rotation dowel pins retain each acme thread bolt
nut in place (see Figure 7-2 on page 7-3). The six bolts are tightened to a torque value of
7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm). When the telescopic joint flange is disconnected, the six bolts do
not require removal for storage because the acme thread bolts retain the bolts in the
stored position on the flange.

 Check the telescopic joint for external damage e.g., clamps and external lines.
 Check the main pin and box for sealing surfaces for damage. Inspect the O-ring
seals on the main pin and box connectors for cuts, cracks or loss of elasticity.
 Check the external line pin and boxes for damage. Check the polypak type seals for
damage. Replace as required. If external line pin and box connections have been
cleaned for inspection or seals replaced, reapply 65% molybdenum disulfide lube to
all seals and sealing surfaces after inspection.
 Check the bore of the riser and external piping to ensure there are no obstructions.
 Prior to running the riser, coat the bolt threads and bolt collars with 65%
molybdenum disulfide grease. After the riser bolts have been hand tightened there
are several acceptable ways of applying torque to the bolts (see the section titled
"Riser Bolt Torque Procedures" on page 7-7).
 Verify the Inner Barrel lock is locked via inspection.
 Latch the riser running tool to the telescopic joint and set the tension ring receiver
housing in the riser spider.
 With the weight of the telescopic joint set on the riser spider, attach a temporary air
supply line to inner barrel lock. Apply air source, regulated to approximately
75-80 psi, not to exceed 100 psi, and unlock the inner barrel lock. Verify the inner
barrel lock is disengaged.
 Stroke the inner barrel out (the bottom shoe will prevent the removal of the inner
barrel from the outer barrel).
 Inspect the inner barrel for damage and coat the outside of the inner with grease.

Riser Bolt Torque Procedures

Prior to running the joint, coat the bolt threads and bolt washers with 65% molybdenum
disulfide grease.
After the flange bolts have been hand tightened there are several acceptable ways of
applying torque to the bolts.
Procedure 1 — Using a torque wrench torque the riser bolts to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm).
Procedure 2 — Preload the riser bolts per the make up sequences (see Figure 7-4 on
page 7-7) to approximately 1,000 ft-lb (1,356 Nm) using an air impact wrench. Then torque
the bolts to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm). By first preloading the riser bolts with an air impact
wrench, the bolts can be torqued to 7,500 ft-lb (10,169 Nm) in any order.
Procedure 3 — If two torque wrenches are available the bolts can be made up by placing
the torque wrenches directly across from each other then torquing to 7,500 ft-lb
(10,169 Nm).

Operation
Automatic Latch
The automatic latch comprises of six lock dogs equally spaced around a groove located at
the top of the inner barrel. Each lock dog has two springs, which radially extend the lock
dogs outward to latch (lock) the inner barrel into the outer barrel (see Figure 7-5).

Each lock dog requires a latch/unlatch mechanism to unlatch (unlock) the inner barrel from
the outer barrel. Each latch/unlatch mechanism consists of a pivot arm, pivot pin and air
bellows attached to the inner barrel by a mounting adapter plate (see Figure 7-6 on page
7-9).

If the lock mechanism is improperly positioned, it is

possible for the slip joint to extend unexpectedly,
resulting in a possibility of injury, equipment damage,

When the bellows expand they move the top of the pivot arms (above the pivot pin)
outwards, this in turn moves the pivot arm (below the pivot pin) inwards, to unlatch the
spring biased lock dogs (see Figure 7-5 on page 7-8).
The control of the inner barrel lock dogs is designated Inner Slip joint Barrel Dogs, Lock—
Unlock.
Once the Slip joint inner barrel is unlocked from the outer barrel and the inner barrel is
scoped out. The control lever should be place in the Lock position. This will vent all
pressure from the air bellows allowing the spring biased lock dogs to move outwards. This
action sets the Slip joint in the ‘Automatic Lock’ position. When in the lock position and the
riser is disconnected, the telescopic joint will automatically latch onto and lock the inner
barrel to the telescopic joint, to create approximately 20 to 30 ft (6 to 9 meters) safety
clearance between the connector and the wellhead.

Locking Indicators
The poppet style indicator system (See Figure 7-8 below) is to facilitate a visual indicator
that the slip joint is in the locked position. It consists of six each poppets that align with the
internal dogs of the locking system. Additionally an external flag, or area of alignment of
the poppets to the dogs, is installed.

Installed on the slip joint are six poppets to correspond to the six locking dogs. The
poppets are basically spring-loaded plungers that move in and out as the dogs move in
and out. The poppets are a visual indicator for the lock/unlock status of the slip joint.
Along with the poppets, an external alignment bracket is attached to the outer barrel
adapter spool (see Figure 7-9). This bracket aligns with a notch in the air bellows protector
to ensure that the inner and outer barrel are aligned. Aligning the inner and outer barrel
will ensure that the dogs and poppets are aligned, thus providing an accurate lock/unlock
indication (see Figure 7-10 on page 7-12). The inner and outer barrel may turn slightly
during normal operation, and the alignment bracket should be visually aligned before
attempting to latch the inner and outer barrel.

dogs energized. Damage could occur to the indicator
poppet assembly.

ii
When closing the slip joint, verify that the alignment
bracket is aligned with the alignment notch in the bellows

external poppets to obtain an accurate indication that the
slip joint is locked.

Mandatory Inspection
A mandatory inspection of the locking mechanism must be performed prior to loading the
lock assembly.
Due to the critical nature of the lock, this inspection must be performed every time prior to
the slip joint being collapsed, locked and loaded.

Inspection Procedure
1. Suspend the slip joint in the rotary table. If the slip joint is deployed, the inspection
must be conducted prior to retrieving the riser.
2. Unlock the inner/outer barrel lock using a maximum of 75-80 psi air pressure
(100 psi maximum).
3. Release the air pressure (the dogs will extend).
4. Ensure that the six dogs are moving freely and smoothly. If the mechanism does not
operate freely, clean and grease the dogs and slot. If the lock has not been operated
regularly, cycle the lock numerous times to ensure repeatability.
5. It is possible for the dog to pivot around the actuator lever. Prior to proceeding to
step 6, ensure the dog is properly aligned with the housing (square with housing).
6. Using a machinist scale, measure the extension of the dog from the OD of the
housing as shown in Figure 7-11 on page 7-14.
7. The measurement of the dog’s outer edge to the housing OD must be a minimum of
1.25.

in g
Wa r n

If the inspection (step 7) reveals that the locking dog

does not extend the required distance of 1.25, then
the actuator mechanism should be inspected. With the
dog in the locked position (Figure 7-11 on page 7-14), a
gap (approximately 1/2) should exist between the lever
and the stop plate (Figure 7-12 on page 7-15) and the
lever should be unloaded. If the extension (in step 7) is
not present and the lever arm unloaded, corrective
action is required. If performing step 4 above does not
resolve the discrepancy, an authorized NOV repair
facility should be contacted. Corrective action must be
taken prior to lifting.

8. Apply air pressure, 75-80 psi (100 max), to the actuators. Verify that the dogs retract
into the slot fully. If the dog does not fully retract into the slot, the dog could catch on
the bowl and hinder proper operation. Repeat (Step 4) above to correct discrepancy.

in g
Wa r n

If (step 4) above does not resolve the discrepancy an

authorized NOV repair facility should be contacted.
Corrective action must be taken prior to lifting.

9. More recent slip joint lock assemblies incorporate a visual indicator to determine
proper dog position. This indicator is shown in Figure 7-12. There is one indicator for
each locking dog. When the slip joint is engaged and latched, the indicator pins will
extend approximately 0.875” past the cross slot pattern of the poppet indicator nut
and close to flush with the outside diameter of the slip joint. It is necessary to verify
that each pin show the correct position before an application of load to the slip joint
assembly

Packer Elements
The slip joint is equipped with two packer elements - one primary and one secondary
operated packer. The packers maintain a seal between the inner barrel and outer barrel
and permit the inner barrel to stroke in and out freely. The two packer assemblies each
have a flow-by port connection, which allows water to flow around the inner barrel and
packer element, to cool and lubricate the inner barrel and packer (see Figure 7-13 on page
7-16).

To avoid diluting the drilling fluid, it is recommended to only

connect a water supply to the active packer and the
remaining flow-by port should remain plugged.

The following is a recommended procedure for operating the packer elements.

1. After running the slip joint hook up the lines to the primary and secondary packer
housings and an air line to the air packer housing plus the air line to the air bellows
Latch/Unlatch mechanism. Normal operating pressure to the air bellows is 75 to 80
psi (5 to 5.5 bar). Maximum pressure is 100 psi (7 bar).

7-16
www.nov.com
Type FT Riser System
Page 7-17 of 24 Telescopic Joint
7

2. Hook up a cooling water line to the active packer.

3. Regulate the pressure to the primary packer at the lowest possible pressure while
maintaining a good seal. A small amount of seepage of well bore fluids is beneficial
to the durability of the packer.
4. The normal working pressure of the packers is 0-200 psi. The maximum working
pressure of the packers is 500 psi. As the primary packer wears continue to
increase the pressure to the packer to maintain a good seal.
5. If the primary packer fails to maintain an adequate seal when the hydraulic pressure
approaches 200 psi or if the inner barrel fails to stroke freely, apply pressure to the
secondary packer and remove pressure to the primary packer.
6. Adjust the pressure to the secondary packer to the lowest possible pressure while
maintaining a good seal. Allow a slight seepage of fluid to lubricate the inner barrel.

ii
Ensure the inner barrel is greased regularly with a water
resistant grease.

ii
Ensure the active packer flow-by port is connected with a
source of cooling water to ensure that the inner barrel/
packers is kept cool.

 Touch up chipped paint with 3-part offshore quality paint.
 Flush hydraulic packers and fill with preservation fluid.
 Flush latch cylinders and fill with preservation fluid. Store in the retracted condition.
 Extend the inner barrel. Clean the inner barrel and coat with water-proof and heat-
proof preservative.

External Line Maintenance

All external line pin and box ends should be inspected for damage. Any damaged pin or
box end will require the line to be replaced or returned to a NOV service facility for repair.
All external lines are held in place by a retainer sleeve (see Figure 7-14). Install the
retainer sleeve onto the line and tighten the retainer sleeve until it bottoms out, rotate the
retainer sleeve 34 inches (19 mm) and install the four set screws. Torque each setscrew to
15-20 ft-lb (20 Nm). This adjustment applies to all lines on the FT riser joint.

ii
If the riser is horizontal when adjusting the external lines,
the external lines may require to be supported in order to
achieve proper adjustment.

A special face wrench (P/N 20036462) is required to tighten the retainer sleeve (see
Figure 3-2 on page 3-3.

Field Replacement Procedures of Telescopic

Joint Packers
Below is a suggested procedure to replace the packer elements and service the packers,
housings, and other components. Local conditions and facilities may require adjustments
to the process. Extreme care must be taken to the size and weight of the components
involved.

Upper Packer Replacement

1. Support the telescopic joint on the spider support dogs.

ii
Do not remove the running tool or disconnect from the
elevator.

2. Ensure that the inner barrel is locked to the outer barrel.

3. Remove the 158 (41 mm) nuts from the adapter spool and upper packer housing.
4. With the large nuts removed, slowly raise the inner barrel and adapter spool.
5. Remove two 12 (12.7 mm) hex head screws from the compression ring (see Figure
7-13 on page 7-16). Install two 12 lifting eye bolts into the compression ring.
6. Pull out the packer seal set. The split spacers will fall away as the packer seal set is
pulled.

Exercise extreme caution when removing the split packer

set from the compression ring. Failure to head this caution
may result in injury to personnel.

7. Unbolt the compression ring from the packer seal set. The packer seal set is split
and will fall from the inner barrel as it is unbolted from the compression ring.

Lower Packer Replacement

1. Support the telescopic joint outer barrel on the spider/gimbal. Do not remove the
running tool or disconnect from the elevator.
2. Ensure that the inner barrel is locked to the outer barrel.
3. Remove the 158 (41 mm) nuts between the lower packer housing and upper
packer housing.
4. With the large nuts removed, slowly raise the inner barrel and upper packer housing.
5. Remove two 12 (12.7 mm) hex head screws from the compression ring. Install two
1  lifting eye bolts into the compression ring.

6. Pull out the packer seal set. The split spacers will fall away as the packer seal set is
pulled.

Exercise extreme caution when removing the split packer

set from the compression ring.

7. Unbolt the compression ring from the packer seal set. The packer seal set is split
and will fall from the inner barrel as it is unbolted from the compression ring.

Reassembly
Reassembly is the reverse of the disassembly process. Care should be taken not to pinch
the o-rings. Alignment of the packers, compression rings and inner barrel is critical in order
to not damage the components and to effect a good seal.
1. Clean the packer housing thoroughly. Remove foreign debris from all sealing
surfaces. Inspect for damage and condition.
2. Replace all o-rings.
3. Inspect all parts for wear and corrosion.
4. Liberally coat the inner surfaces of the packer housing with grease. Ensure that all
sealing surfaces remain dirt and grit free while exposed.
5. Coat the new packer elements with grease. Align the groove at the top of the packer
elements with the mating groove in the compression ring.
6. Push the halves together. The elements incorporate a tongue and groove seal at the
split. Ensure that the halves are mated fully and engaged on the compression ring
groove.
7. Reinstall the cap screws. Torque to 20 to 25 ft-lb.
8. Lower the compression ring and packer seal set until they are about to enter the
packer housing.
9. Align the flow-by port in the compression ring with the flow-by port in the middle
housing.
10. Install the split spacers.
11. Continue to lower the assembly until they are fully seated.
12. Install the 158 (41 mm) nuts and torque to 1,100 to 1,200 ft-lb. (1,491 Nm to 1,627
Nm) using a 65% Molybdenum-Disulfide thread lubricant.

Piston to Rod Assembly Instructions

using Anaerobic Adhesive
WARNING WIRE BRUSH
THREADS
The piston to rod threaded connection in hydraulic and pneumatic
cylinders is critical. Its failure can cause serious injury to nearby
personnel. For this reason the Cylinder Division prefers to assemble
the piston and rod assembly and will do it at a nominal charge.
However, if you prefer to perform this assembly it must be done by
strictly following all the procedures outlined in this bulletin. PISTON
Procedure
STEP 1
All parts must be clean, free of oil and any old Loctite. Clean internal
and external threads using a tap, die or wire brush.
STEP 2 PISTON ROD
Assemble parts to make sure components are properly fitted Figure 1
together. Then disassemble the components.
STEP 3

WRENCH
LOCTITE
Thoroughly clean all threaded parts with a solvent such as Loctite

sealant,
7070, LPS or any other solvent approved by Loctite making sure width of
to remove all oil, water or grease. Allow solvent to evaporate until wrench flat,
all components are dry. DO NOT dry parts by blowing components length of
with shop air. This will only spray the components with water and thread
oil found in the air line.
STEP 4
Using Loctite Grade 642 or Grade 648 apply one strip of Loctite Figure 2
sealant, about as wide as the wrench flats (or 1/2" wide on large
rods which do not have wrench flats) to both internal and external
threads (Figure 2).
STEP 5
Assemble mating parts as usual to full engagement. Back-off two
(2) turns to distribute the Loctite sealant. In the case of cushioned
cylinders clean any sealant which may go between the cushion
sleeve and piston rod with a clean rag (Figure 3). DO NOT use a
solvent. Tighten mating parts as much as possible using a strap
wrench. Figure 3
STEP 6
Wipe off excess Loctite sealant with a clean cloth (Figure 4).
Allow a minimum of 4 hours before going to Step 7.
STEP 7
Drill and tap for setscrew(s) as indicated by Table 1 and Figure 5A
or 5B.
STEP 8
Clean setscrew(s) and tapped hole following procedure as
outlined in Step 3.
STEP 9
Figure 4
Apply a strip of Loctite to the setscrew(s). Tighten the setscrew in
place (Figure 5A or 5B) making sure it is engaged in both the piston
and piston rod. Peen piston rod side of hole. DO NOT peen cast iron

Servicing Cylinder Gland Seals

Fluid leakage from the piston rod at the gland normally
indicates worn gland seals. The cylinder should, if possible,
be removed for overhaul, or the piston rod disconnected.
