Introduction
Section 1 Introduction
The Shaffer manual lock Model LWS ram blowout preventer (LWS BOP) provides a rugged,
reliable preventer that is easily serviced in the field. Special features include:
• Flat doors to simplify ram changes
• Door seals with special backing to prevent extrusion and pinching
• Standard internal H2S trim
• Wear rings between the piston and cylinder to increase seal life and to virtually
eliminate cylinder bore wear
• Polyurethane lip-type piston seals with lifetime lubrication
• Lip-type ram shaft seals to hold the wellbore pressure and the opening hydraulic
pressure
• Secondary ram shaft seals to permit injection of plastic packing if the primary lip-
type seal ever fails
The manual lock LWS BOP is available in single and double models. Contact Shaffer Sales
for special configurations. This manual provides the installation, operation, and
maintenance procedures for standard manual lock LWS BOP models.
Shaffer supplies manual lock LWS BOPs in the sizes shown in Table 1-1.

Introduction
full H2S environmental services. Standard units can be retrofitted for full environmental
H2S service. Shaffer preventers are manufactured in accordance with the American
Petroleum Institute (API) specification 6A (current edition) and the National Association
of Corrosion Engineers (NACE) document “NACE Standard MR-01-75” (current revision).
Shaffer preventers can also be manufactured in accordance with the API specification 16A
(current edition).
Hydraulic pressure of 1,500 psi (103 bar) will close any model LWS ram BOP with its rated
wellbore pressure of 10,000 psi (690 bar) or less.
The specifications and dimensions given are for manual lock LWS BOPs.
1.1 Safety Precautions

Exposure to the daily hazards of drilling can lead rig crews and service personnel to
disregard or overlook hidden hazards. The safety precautions listed below should be
observed at all times.
1.1.1 Equipment Repairs or Adjustments

Turn off the system power and bleed all pressure prior to making any repairs or
adjustments that do not require system power.
1.1.2 Hydraulic Lines

Hydraulic lines carrying fluids at high pressures can inflict potentially fatal injuries if
the pressure escapes. Protect hydraulic lines from cutting, scraping, pinching, or other
physical damage. Always wear hard hats and safety glasses when working around
hydraulic lines. Bleed the pressure from any hydraulic line prior to disconnecting any
fittings. Respect the prescribed ASME code minimum bend radius for hydraulic lines.
Bending around too short a radius can rupture the line.
1.1.3 Welding and Cutting

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.
Ensure no slag or spatter enters the hydraulic system.
1.1.4 Replacement Parts

Many of the BOP components, though apparently similar to commercial hardware, are
manufactured to system design specifications. To avoid possible hazardous failures, use
only exact replacement parts or assemblies (see Section 4).

Operation
Section 2 Operation
2.1 Inspection
The inspection process includes the activities listed below.
• Thoroughly clean the LWS manual lock blowout preventer (BOP) before
installation.
• Clean and inspect the sealing surface of the ring groove for minor pits and
scratches. Remove these with emery cloth. If there is excessive damage, call a
Shaffer service representative.
• Clean and inspect studs and nuts. Replace any that are damaged.
• Ensure the correct size rams are in each cavity. The part number is stamped into
the block of each ram.
• Thoroughly clean and oil the inside of the LWS BOP.
2.1.1 Condition of BOP is Unknown

If the condition of the BOP is unknown, e.g., stored for some length of time, has not
been maintained on a scheduled maintenance program, etc., perform a three-month
maintenance check as described in Section 3.5. A three-month maintenance check
includes:
• visually inspecting and thoroughly greasing the inside of the BOP
• performing a field wellbore pressure test as described in Section 3.8
• performing an hydraulic pressure test as described in Section 3.9
• operating the manual locks as described in Section 2.5
2.1.2 BOP Maintained on a Scheduled Maintenance Program

If the BOP has been properly maintained (scheduled maintenance program), a monthly
maintenance check (Section 3.4) is all that is required. A monthly maintenance check
includes:
• performing a field wellbore pressure test per Section 3.8
• checking for external hydraulic leaks while pressure testing
´ NOTE
Cleaning, inspection and testing of the LWS BOP immediately after
completion of drilling operations reduces installation time on the next well
(see Section 3.17).

Introduction
2.2 Installation Instructions
A. Install BOP Right-Side-Up

1. Some models have ‘Top’ or ‘This Side Up’ cast into the BOP housing.
2. Some models have lifting lugs above the mud flange outlets (see Figure 2-1).

3. On all models and on models without stampings or lugs:

• externally, the side outlets for the choke and kill lines are below the rams
• internally, the skids in the ram compartments are below the rams, and
ram sealing seats are located in the top of the ram cavity
WARNING
If the BOP is installed upside-down, it will not contain wellbore
pressure.
B. Lift the LWS Manual Lock BOP

1. On models with lifting lugs cast into the body, the BOP is lifted by wrapping
a chain or cable of sufficient strength around the lug (see Figure 2-1).
2. On models without lifting lugs, place a strap or chain around the door flat as
close to the body as possible. Lift the BOP by attaching this chain to the
lifting cable or chain.

Operation
, CAUTION
Do not lift the BOP by the cylinders. This will damage the cylinders,
piston assembly and/or the ram shaft and prevent the BOP from
working correctly.

Operation
2.3 Operation
2.3.1 Hydraulic Operation

The rams can be hydraulically closed and manually locked.
2.3.2 Operating Pressure

Under normal operating conditions, 1,500 psi (103 bar) hydraulic pressure is
recommended. This operating pressure will close any model LWS BOP with its rated
wellbore pressure, except the 11" (279.40 mm) and 13 5/8" (346.08 mm) 15,000 psi
(1,034 bar) models. Both the 11" (279.40 mm) and 13 5/8" (346.08 mm) 15,000 psi
(1,034 bar) models are operated at 1,500 psi (103 bar) with wellbore pressure of
10,000 psi (690 bar) or less. For wellbore pressure greater than 10,000 psi (690 bar),
the regulator must be bypassed to apply full accumulator pressure (up to 3,000 psi
207 bar). Regulated pressure up to 2,500 psi (172 bar) can be used. At a working
pressure of 15,000 psi (1,034 bar), a minimum of 2,200 psi (152 bar) closing pressure is
necessary. Normal hydraulic operating pressure may be increased to 3,000 psi (207 bar)
on any LWS BOP if desired.

2.3.3 Hydraulic Fluid

Hydraulic fluid under pressure drives the pistons, which open and close the rams.
Hydraulic fluid should have the following characteristics:
• non-freezing in cold climates
• lubricity to reduce wear

Introduction
• chemical compatibility with the elastomer seals

• corrosion inhibitors for metal surfaces
A. Recommended Hydraulic Fluid

(In Order of Preference)
1. Hydraulic oil with viscosity between 200 and 300 SSU at 100 °F (38 °C). In
the LWS closed hydraulic system, there is no waste of oil and fluid costs are
negligible.
2. Where pollution due to accidental spillage of hydraulic fluid is a problem,
use a water soluble oil or premix control fluid.
To prevent freezing at lower temperatures, ethylene glycol without any additives is
recommended. Do not use commercial antifreeze mixes.
B. Emergency Fluid Recommendations

In an emergency where hydraulic fluid is lost, and the BOP must be operated, the
fluids listed below can be substituted.
1. When using hydraulic oil:

• Add motor oil (SAE 10W is recommended but heavier oils can be used)
• Add water if motor oil is not available, but after the emergency, the
hydraulic system must be flushed and refilled with hydraulic oil
2. When using a water soluble mixture or premix fluid, add more water.
After the emergency, replace the fluid in the system with the proper mixture.
C. Do Not Use the Following Fluids

• Diesel fuel or kerosene: these fluids cause the rubber goods to swell and
deteriorate
• Drilling mud: the grit in this fluid will cause the pistons and cylinders to
wear and gall rapidly

Operation
2.4 Closing and Opening the Rams
2.4.1 Closing Rams

Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure (see Section 2.5). Verify that the
rams close by observing the inward movement of the handwheels or locking shaft (see
Figure 2-7).
2.4.2 Opening Rams

Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) opening hydraulic pressure. Verify that the rams open by
observing the outward movement of the handwheels or locking shafts (see Figure 2-7).
Open
Closed
Manually Locked
Figure 2-7
Manual Lock Rams
, CAUTION
Before opening the rams, turn both handwheels counter-clockwise to
ensure that the rams are unlocked. If the rams are partly locked, the
locking shaft threads may be damaged when the rams are
hydraulically opened.
2.5 Manual Locking

1. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) closing hydraulic pressure.

Introduction
2. Rotate each locking shaft clockwise until it locks; each locking shaft will move
outward until it stops against the cylinder head.
3. Do not overtighten to avoid shaft damage.
4. Control system pressure may now be removed.
, CAUTION
Do not over tighten. If over tightened, the locking shaft can be
damaged.
2.6 Unlocking Operation

1. Apply 1,500 psi hydraulic closing pressure.
2. Rotate the locking shaft counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Rotate 1 / 8 of a turn clockwise to prevent temperature changes from jamming the
locking shaft in the unlocked position.
, CAUTION
Do not apply opening hydraulic pressure while the BOP is manually
locked. This may damage the locking shaft threads.
4. See Section 2.4.2, Opening Rams instructions.

Maintenance
Section 3 Maintenance
3.1 Maintenance Schedule

The purpose of this maintenance schedule is to detect wear in an Shaffer manual lock
Model LWS BOP so that it can be repaired before a failure occurs in a drilling emergency.
The inspection sequence avoids repetition of work so that minimum time is required for a
thorough maintenance program.
Additional information is available in the following publications:
• API Spec. 6A, 16A
• API RP53
• Shaffer General Catalog
3.2 When to Call a Service Representative

Repairs are performed by either the rig crew or a Shaffer service representative. This
section describes the repairs normally performed by the rig crew and provides guidelines to
determine when a service representative should be called.
The rig crew normally performs the following:
• Changing rams to different pipe sizes
• Running wellbore pressure tests and hydraulic pressure tests
• Replacing worn ram rubbers and door seals
• Chasing damaged threaded holes on preventer body
• Buffing out minor scratches on the ram sealing seat and door sealing area of the
body
A Shaffer service representative normally will be called to make any repairs, which require
the hydraulic system to be opened, including the following:
• Re-packing the ram shaft
• Replacing piston seals
• Replacing cylinder seals
• Replacing manifold pipe seals
• Replacing hinge seals
• Re-packing the locking shaft

Maintenance
• Run yearly inspections to determine if the BOP needs to be sent to a repair facility
for major rework
The annual inspection includes wellbore pressure tests, hydraulic pressure tests, inspection
and measurement of the ram cavities.
Table 3-1
Maintenance Schedule, Manual Lock Ram BOP 1

Repair Personnel required. Replace all seals. Run a field wellbore
Facility pressure test and an internal hydraulic pressure test.
Operate manual locks (see Section 3.7).
1. Specific data is required for ordering parts. See Section 3.19 for location and explanation of BOP
data (serial number, heat treat lot number, etc.)
2. These intervals are typical and serve as convenient designations to separate the simpler from the
more complex inspections.
3. Some operators use the yearly maintenance inspection as a rig acceptance test.
4. Three-year maintenance will be performed only after a yearly inspection indicates the need for it.
3.3 Daily Maintenance

The procedures described below should be performed daily.
1. All rams should be functioned to verify that they operate properly. If possible,
watch the rams move by using a mirror to obtain a reflected image of the rams. If
this is not possible, observe the movement of the handwheels or locking shafts.
´ NOTE
Pipe rams should be closed on pipe. Blind rams should be closed and
opened when the pipe is out of the hole.

Maintenance
2. Check the locking shaft seal areas, cylinder head o-ring areas, manifold pipe seals,
door seal areas, weep holes, hinges, hydraulic connections, and the socket head
pipe plug for possible leakage of hydraulic fluids (see Figure 3-1).
´ NOTE
To observe if the ram shaft packings are leaking, the weep hole plugs
must be removed on each door.
3. Check API flange areas for possible leakage of well fluid and/or hydraulic fluid (see
Figure 3-1).

3.4 Monthly Preventive Maintenance

Run this test series before starting a new well and at least monthly while drilling.
Do not open the BOP doors.
1. Ensure all door cap screws are properly torqued.
2. Run a field wellbore pressure test as described in Section 3.8.
3. While running the field wellbore pressure test, look for external hydraulic leaks
(see Figure 3-1).
4. Check the universal joints to ensure that they are tight on the locking shaft and
grease if equipped with alamite fittings.
5. Grease the hinges.

Maintenance
3.5 Three-Month Preventive Maintenance

1. Before opening the doors, run a field wellbore pressure test as described in Section
3.8 and a hydraulic pressure test as described in Section 3.9. This information will
be very helpful in the following inspections. Also, a Shaffer service representative
can be called at this time if hydraulic system repairs are required.
2. While the rams are closed, turn the handwheels approximately two turns clockwise
and then turn them back to the fully unlocked position. This will verify that the
manual locks function satisfactorily.
3. Disconnect the universal joints from the locking shafts.
4. Open the rams with 1,500 psi (103 bar).
5. Bleed all hydraulic pressure.
6. Open the doors and remove the rams (see Section 3.12).
7. Clean and inspect rams (see Section 3.12).
8. Wash out the inside of the BOP so that it can be inspected.
9. If any door cap screw was excessively hard to remove, chase the thread in the body
with a tap. Replace any cap screw, which has damaged threads.
10. Remove minor pits and scratches from the seat sealing surface with emery cloth.
11. Smooth any deep gouges and scratches on the skids and side pads. These are not
sealing surfaces so remove only enough material to allow the rams to slide
smoothly over them.
12. Check the bore for accidental damage. Smooth as required. Occasionally the drill
pipe will rotate against the bore and cause excessive wear. Measure the maximum
bore diameter and estimate the maximum wear on any side. If any radius is more
than 1 / 8 " (3.18 mm) oversize, send the BOP to a Shaffer repair facility for a
complete rework.
13. Check the door sealing area on the BOP body for pits and scratches. Remove pits
and scratches with emery clothe.
14. Inspect the shafts.
• Apply reduced closing hydraulic pressure to fully extend both ram shafts for
inspection.
• Visually check the OD of each ram shaft for pits and scratches. The ram shafts
should be replaced by a Shaffer service representative if pits or scratches are
visible.
• Visually check the end of each ram shaft for cracks in the neck between the end
and the shaft. The ram shafts should be replaced by a Shaffer service
representative if cracks are visible.
15. Inspect the locking shafts.

Maintenance
• Apply opening hydraulic pressure to extend the locking shafts.

• If a locking shaft is bent or cracked, it should be replaced. If replacement is
necessary, call a Shaffer service representative.
16. Inspect the door seal grooves.
• Remove the door seals (see Figure 3-2).
• Inspect the grooves. Smooth minor pits with emery cloth.
• Replace the door seals if extruded, brittle, cut, or nicked (see Sections 3.10 and
3.18).
17. Reinstall the rams (see Section 3.12.3).
18. Run a final field wellbore pressure test (see Section 3.8) before the BOP is returned
to service.
Figure 3-2
Remove Door Seal
3.6 Yearly Preventive Maintenance

Yearly maintenance is performed by a Shaffer service representative. The purpose of the
yearly maintenance operation is to evaluate wear in the BOP so that a major overhaul
(three-year maintenance) can be scheduled at a convenient time, but before a failure
occurs. The yearly maintenance includes:
• wellbore pressure test
• hydraulic pressure test
• inspection and measurement of cavity for wear and damage
• a complete review of BOP performance to determine if the BOP should be sent to a
Shaffer repair facility for a major overhaul

Maintenance
3.7 Three-Year Maintenance

Three-year maintenance is performed in a Shaffer repair facility after a yearly maintenance
check determines it is necessary. The BOP is completely disassembled, cleaned, and
inspected. All elastomer seals are replaced and all parts are repaired or replaced as
required. Hydraulic and wellbore pressure tests are run and the BOP is returned to service.
´ NOTE
All elastomer seals should be replaced after three years regardless of
condition.
3.8 Field Wellbore Pressure Test

The final details of the test sequence will be established by the operator and contractor;
therefore, modifications to this procedure may be required. See API Spec. 6A and API
RP53, paragraph 7.A.2 for additional information.
3.8.1 Equipment Required

The test pressure should not exceed the lowest rated working pressure of any
component or connection pressurized during the test. This includes one or more of the
following:
• BOP(s)
• Wellhead
• Casing string, if it will be pressurized during the test or if a leak in the test tool
could cause it to be pressurized
• All connections
3.8.4 Test Fluids

The recommended wellbore pressure test fluid is cold water, but drilling fluid may be
used.
1. Fill the BOP with water or drilling fluid.
2. Close the pipe rams on an appropriate test tool using 1,500 psi (103 bar)
hydraulic pressure (3,000 psi or 207 bar is optional).
3.8.5 Pressure Test

1. Close valves #lA and #lB. Open valve #2 (see Figure 3-3).
2. Apply 200–300 psi (14–21 bar) wellbore pressure below the rams. Close valve
#2. Hold test pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes. Check for low-pressure
leaks. Monitor gauge #1.
3. Open valve #2. Increase the wellbore pressure to the test pressure determined in
Section 3.8.3.
4. Close valve #2.
5. Hold the pressure for a minimum of 3 minutes.
6. Check for leaks on pressure gauge #1, the BOP exterior at the API connections,
the door seals, the ram shaft weep holes, and at the rams if they are visible (see
Figure 3-1).
WARNING
Do not look into the ram bore while pressure is under the rams. Use a
mirror to obtain a reflected image of the rams.
7. Bleed wellbore test pressure to 0 psi (0 bar).
• Fully open valve #2.
• Open valve #lA.
• Open valve #lB.

Maintenance
8. Repeat steps 1–7 for the second pressure holding period.

The final details of the test sequence will be established by the operator and contractor;
therefore, modifications to this procedure may be required. See API Spec. 6A and API
RP53, paragraph 7.A.2 for additional information.
´ NOTE
If the hydraulic system was opened before this test, close and open the
rams three times to purge air from the system.
, CAUTION
Pipe rams should always be closed on pipe to avoid excessive ram
rubber wear. Closure on a tool joint will damage the block.
Blind rams should only be closed on an open hole. Closing on pipe
will damage the rubber and possibly the block.
3.9.1 Opening Hydraulic Pressure Test

The opening hydraulic pressure test is performed according to the steps listed below.
1. Vent hydraulic closing pressure to zero psi (zero bar).

2. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) (2,250 psi or 155 bar optional) opening pressure.
3. Close the valve in the opening hydraulic line (see Figure 2-5).
4. Observe the gauge between the valve and the BOP.
5. If there is no pressure drop, end the test.
6. If there is a pressure drop, perform the steps listed below.
• Check for external leaks at the following locations (see Figure 3-1):
Hinge pins—if leaking call a Shaffer service representative

Maintenance
Weep holes for ram shaft seal leaks—if leaking call a Shaffer service
representative
Cylinder seal leaks—if leaking call a Shaffer service representative
Door seal leaks—if leaking see Section 3.10
• Check for internal leaks past the pistons in the following manner:
Disconnect the closing hydraulic line. A small amount of fluid will flow out
of the BOP initially and stop. If fluid continues to flow out of the BOP, it is
leaking past the piston and repairs are required.
Reinstall the closing hydraulic line.
Call a Shaffer service representative to repair the leak.
3.9.2 Closing Hydraulic Pressure Test

The closing hydraulic pressure test is performed according to the steps listed below.
1. Vent hydraulic opening pressure to zero psi (zero bar).

2. Apply 1,500 psi (103 bar) (2,250 psi or 155 bar optional) closing pressure.
3. Close the valve on the closing hydraulic line (see Figure 2-5).
4. Observe the gauge between the valve and the BOP.
5. If there is no pressure drop, end the test.
6. If there is a pressure drop, perform the steps listed below.
• Check for external leaks at the following locations (see Figure 3-1):
Hinge pins—if leaking, call a Shaffer equipment service representative
Cylinder head seals—if leaking, call a Shaffer service representative
Locking shaft seals—if leaking, call a Shaffer service representative
Manifold pipe seals—if leaking, call a Shaffer service representative
• Check for internal leaks past the pistons in the following manner:
Disconnect the opening hydraulic line. A small amount of fluid will flow
out of the BOP initially and stop. If fluid continues to flow out of the
BOP, it is leaking past the piston and repairs are required.
Reinstall the opening hydraulic line.
Call a Shaffer service representative to repair the leak.
3.10 Door Seal Replacement

The door seal is replaced by performing the steps listed below.
1. Disconnect the universal joints from the locking shafts.
2. Open the doors (see Section 3.12).
3. Remove the door seal from its seat (see Figure 3-3).
4. Clean the door seal seat and face.

feature.
1. Remove the pipe plug from the front of the door.
´ NOTE
Some preventers have a straight- in pipe plug while others have the pipe
plug set in at an angle. All are located on the same door surface of the
preventer.
2. With the pipe plug removed, a second socket head screw plug is exposed. Tighten
this to inject the secondary ram shaft seal.
´ NOTE
Additional packing may be injected until the leak stops.
3. Replace the socket head pipe plug removed in step 1.
4. Call a Shaffer service representative to repack the ram shaft.
3.12 Ram Assembly Removal and Inspection Procedures

Procedures for removal and installation of pipe, blind and shear rams in the LWS BOP are
the same.
3.12.1 Removal of Rams

Remove the rams according to the steps listed below.

Maintenance
, CAUTION
The BOP door must be securely bolted prior to opening the rams with
hydraulic pressure.
1. Open the rams with 1,500 psi hydraulic pressure.
2. Bleed hydraulic pressure to 0 psi (0 bar) so that the door will swing open easily and
to prevent possible damage to the hinge pin O-rings.
3. Unscrew the door cap screws and open the door.
, CAUTION
Do not use the hydraulic system to open the door. This will severely
damage the BOP.
If the BOP is not flanged to a wellhead or securely fastened, open
only one door at a time. The weight of two open doors can tip the
BOP over.
4. Notice the ram in the cavity of the BOP door as shown in Figure 3-4.
5. Slowly apply reduced closing hydraulic pressure until the ram is out of the BOP
door cavity as shown in Figure 3-5.
Figure 3-4 Figure 3-5

Ram Located in Door Cavity Ram Out of Door Cavity
, CAUTION
Install a suitable valve on the opening and closing ports on the hinge
brackets to control the speed of ram movement.
6. Bleed off the closing hydraulic pressure to zero psi (zero bar).
, CAUTION
Care should be taken to avoid turning the ram assembly and allowing
it to slide off the ram shaft.

Maintenance
7. Install 5 / 8 " (15.88 mm) eyebolt in the top of the ram as shown in Figure 3-6.
8. Slowly lift the ram to take the weight off the ram shaft and slide the ram
horizontally as shown in Figure 3-6.
9. After the ram is removed, slowly open the ram with reduced hydraulic pressure so

Maintenance
3.15 Offset Rams for Dual Completions

Single offset rams have only one bore, which is offset to API centerline standards. This
allows complete control of a dual completion when the second tubing string is to be run
later.
Dual offset rams are furnished to API centerline standards for complete control of a dual
completion when both tubing strings are run together.
Contact your local Shaffer sales representative for part numbers and delivery dates. Be sure
to specify the following when ordering:
• BOP size and working pressure.
• If single or dual offset rams are required.
• Tubing OD and type of coupling so the coupling OD can be determined.
• Casing size and weight so that the casing ID can be determined.
• Tubing hanger centerline dimensions.
3.16 Aluminum Drill Pipe Rams

Since aluminum drill pipe has an oversize OD, these rams must have oversize bores in both
the ram blocks and in the ram rubber extrusion plates. Contact your local Shaffer sales
representative for part numbers and the following:
• BOP size and working pressure.
• Aluminum drill pipe OD.
3.17 Cleaning and Storage of the LWS BOP

A BOP should be cleaned immediately after it is taken out of service. Proper cleaning of a
BOP before it is stored will increase its life significantly. If a BOP is in an active drilling
program, this cleaning should be done approximately every three months or when the rig is
between wells (see Appendix A).
1. Open the doors and remove the rams (see Section 3.12.1).
, CAUTION
If the BOP is not flanged to a wellhead or securely fastened, open
only one door at a time. The weight of two open doors can tip the
BOP over.
• Store rubber parts in their natural shape. Do not hang o-rings on nails or
hooks.
• Storage areas should be kept as dry as possible. Oil, grease or other fluids
should be stored elsewhere to avoid spillage.

Maintenance
• If storage is for a long duration, it is recommended that rubber parts be

placed in sealed containers or be given a protective surface covering
impervious to temperature or light, This will extend the shelf life.
• Rubber parts should be used on a first in, first out basis.
2. Inspect rubber parts according to the instructions listed below.
• Each rubber part must be inspected before it is put into service.
• Bend, stretch, or compress each part and look for cracks.
• Observe if the rubber part has a hard skin or small cracks which may
become chalky or barklike in appearance.
´ NOTE
Some cracks are not obvious, but when the rubber part is bent, stretched
or compressed, very minute cracks will become apparent.
3.18 Troubleshooting
Table 3-8 provides possible causes and corrective action for some of the more common
problems likely to be encountered.
3.19 LWS BOP Data Location

See Figure 3-26 for the location of serial numbers (doors and body). A data plate is
fastened in the location shown. This same information is stamped into the body in the
location shown in Figure 3-26.
• The serial number on the door is located on the hinge boss and consists of the
letters SND followed by numbers.
• The body serial number is located in various places on the body and consists of SN
followed by a six digit number.
• The heat treating number consists of the letters HT followed by a series of numbers.
´ NOTE
Always give the serial numbers and size of the LWS BOP when ordering
parts.
