Inspection Requirement
If washed seat/module is a problem: Confirm
minimum of 75% valve seat contact area. On initial
installation of seat in module, measure clearance
between bottom of seat and module shoulder,
minimumby= testing,
0.090. relief valves are set as near as
Confirm
possible to liner rating to avoid undue stress on
modules due to valves popping off frequently. (Note:
Some contractors will not want to set valves higher
than about 3000 psi. That is their choice, record liner
size, pressure rating and relief valve setting in daily
report and trip report.)
Record size of DC motor blowers, DC motor power is
directly related to motors ability to stay cool. HT
operations may require 15 HP blower motors.
Record last NDE of rod ends, clamps, valve covers and
threaded areas on modules.
Record date and results of last lube oil analysis.
Inspect fluid end internally.
Check wear plate seal area prior to installation of new
liners.
Record pre-charge of discharge dampeners. It is
normally 1/3 WP to 750 PSI max unless special
bladders are used.
Record pre-charge of suction dampeners.
Inspect screen in mud pump discharge.
Determine that mud pump lubrication system is
adequate for long term slow pump rates. National
manual page 11.
Are auxiliary electric motors and pumps in good
condition?
Check operation and record pressure of charging
pumps; note impeller size. Perform amperage test.
Are charging pump motors in good condition?
Pressure test HP valves and piping to MWP.
Operate each mud pump under a load individually and
together for one hour at a pressure equal to 80% of
liner rating MWP. Normally choke manifold is
required. Plan ahead on a jack-up since rig package
normally needs to be cantilevered out to a drilling
position. Engine performance will be reviewed at same
time. Operation could take longer than one hour if
problems are encountered, or extra time is required to
evaluate equipment.

March 1997. Local regulatory requirements or
operator standards may exceed requirements of RP 53.
Minimum Testing and Maintenance guidelines can be
found in API RP 53, sec. 18
Test flange or stump should be available for BOP well
bore pressure testing.
Test mandrel or drill pipe should be available for all
sizes of pipe required for drilling program.
BOP arrangement and pressure ratings must meet
Operators contract specifications.
Confirm that rig has in place a procedure to assure
BOP's are tested as required; BOP drills, closing
procedures and casing pressure limit posted.
Confirm stack is well secured and can be aligned
conveniently if required.
Determine if any milling operations have taken place
in the past year. Date (last well)
Confirm full opening drill string safety valve and IBOP
are available on rig floor.
Verify drill string safety valve handles are available in
specified locations on rig floor.
Confirm record of major inspection conducted for
stack, choke and diverter components. API RP 53,
sec. 18.10.3 recommends complete disassembly and
inspection per OEM guidelines every 3-5 years.
Pressure Testing
Appropriate test pump and a four hour rotation chart
recorder should be available for testing. API RP 53,
sec. 18.3.2
Separate low and high pressure gauges to be available
for testing with minimum face diameter of 4.5.
Required tests to fall between 25% and 75% of gauge
full pressure range. API Spec 16A - VI B 3.2
Confirm all gauges in BOP control system have been
calibrated within 1% of full scale the last 3 years. API
RP 53, sec. 13.9.3g
Acceptance criteria is a straight line pressure test with
no test fluid leakage. No leaks is minimum standard
for all pressure testing.
Fluorescein dye should be added to fluid prior to
commencement of testing.
Operating chambers to be tested to maximum rated
working pressure for 5 minutes with possible exception
of annular open/close operating chambers. (Note: Do
not exceed 1500 PSI on Shaffer Annulars.)
Review testing procedures confirming the following
points are addressed:

protrusion into well-bore.
Conduct a hydraulic operating chamber pressure tests
to maximum working pressure. (Do not exceed 1500
psi on Shaffer annular)
Test annular with smallest OD pipe to be used on well.

BOP Stack Mounted Valves
Target flanges shall be removed for verification of lead
content and erosion.

the fluid.
Perform random fluid check to a few pod pilot lines on
each pod. They are susceptible to bacteria growth.
Bacteria in lines will eventually cause excessive
corrosion, damage in pod valve components, and pod
valve failure.
Does the rig have a fluid condition monitoring
program? Are fluid strainers cleaned on a schedule?
Confirm fluid meets requirements of API RP 53, sec.
13.3.9
