3. OPERATION

WARNING: Any modification to the tool carried out without the approval of Blohm + Voss Oil Tools will void any warranty.

WARNING: Using the tool with damaged or worn parts can create serious incidents.

Safety

The tool must only be used for the designated purpose. When using the tool, the rated load must never be exceeded

Extreme Low Temperature

Ratings have been established at a temperature of minus 20°C. The effect of low temperature on steel must be recognized although no changes in design safety factors have been provided. When operating at low temperatures, caution must be exercised to take into account the lower impact capabilities of many steels which are typically employed. The risk of failure may be reduced by a critical load inspection.

4. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION

General

If cracks, excessive wear etc. is recognised, contact Blohm + Voss Oil Tools or an authorised service company.Weldings of the castings should be done only by Blohm + Voss Oil Tools or an authorised service company in according to Blohm + Voss welding procedure.

Deterioration of equipment

Normal wear in course of use will eventually reduce the capability of the elevator links. The existence or cracks, or the appearance of defects, can indicate severe deterioration, even impending failure, and prompt attention is required either to remove the elevator link from service immediately, or to undertake appropriate repair as required.

Records

Inspection procedure are listed in this recommended practice and generalized sketches of the elevator links showing points to be inspected are to be provided. Written records should be maintained which accurately record the inspection and maintenance history of each elevator link. Records should include the date, personnel involved, and results of each inspection or maintenance procedure performed.

WARNING: Never weld on Elevator Links!

Dismantling

The elevator links should be dismantled from the rig and inspected in a usitably equipped facility for excessive wear, cracks, flaws or deformation. Corrections should be made in accordance with recommendations which can be obtained from Blohm + Voss.

Cleaning

Before inspection, all foreign material such as dirt, paint, grease, oil, scale, etc. should be removed from the areas to be inspected by a suitable method.

Inspection Procedure

The inspection should be made by trained, competent personnel.

Category IThis 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 IIThis 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 IIIThis 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 IVThis 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 suitable-

equipped facility to the extent necessary to permit full inspection of all primary-load-carrying components and other components that are critical to the equipment.

• inspected for excessive wear, cracks, flaws and deformation.

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. paint-stripping, steam-cleaning, grit-blasting)

Frequency

Periodic inspection

The recommended schedule for inspection of all kind of • Elevator Links, Special Link

Connector:Ongoing: IDaily: II6 Monthly: III1 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.

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.

• Weldings at the castings should be done only by Blohm + Voss Oil Tools or an authorized service company in according to Blohm + Voss welding procedure.

• When need is shown in a field inspection, dismantle the Tool and arrange an inspection in a suitably equipped facility.

• Springs should be carefully visually inspected for excessive wear and obvious weakness.

Use of Worn Elevator Links

It is possible to approximately downrate elevator links due to wear. This is only valid when the Elevator is in good condition, does not have excessive wear, cracks or other defects and has never been misused. The following figures indicate the rating on new links and the decrease in rating by steps as the links are worn.A periodic check should be made of worn diameters. If a question exists as to proper rating after use, particularly if there is evidence of other damage, such as cracks, Blohm + Voss should be contacted.

Explanation how to use the table above

The first column shows the dimension of a new Elevator Link with full load rating. The second column shows the minimum dimension for the load rating shown below. If this dimension is underrun the next columns load rating is valid.For example: 3.1/2"-500 sh tons elevator link with an actual dimension f of 5.7/8" (149,2mm) can be used with full rated load 500 sh tons per set ( as long as dimension f is bigger or equal to 5.5/8"). If the dimension is smaller than 5.5/8" the links have to be de-rated according to 440 sh tons load rating.If the elevator link is worn out below the smallest dimension in this table, it is recommended to take it out of service.

WARNING: The load capacity of a set of links is based on the load capacity of the weakest eye of the weakest link in the set.
