DRILLING CHOKE MAINTENANCE (T-069,9-98) I. PREPARATION

Note: It is not necesssary to remove the choke from the manifold to perform the procedures outlines below

A. Hydraulic Drilling Chokes

1. Close all valves necessary to isolate the choke being serviced from well pressures. 2. Place a warning tag on each valve closed in step 1 above, to prevent the opening of the valves while maintenance is in progress. 3. Place a warning tag on the hydraulic control for the choke being serviced, to prevent its selection while maintenance is in progress. Warning: A serious accident may result if pressure enters the choke while it is disassembled.

B. Manual Drilling Chokes

1. Close all valves necessary to isolate the choke being serviced from well pressures. 2. Place a warning tag on each valve closed in step 1 above, to prevent the opening of the valves while maintenance is in progress. Warning: A serious accident may result if well pressure enters the choke while it is disassembled.

TC1350

II. MAINTENANCE
Important: It is recommended that this maintenance be performed as soon as practical after taking a kick.

A. Choke Body
1. Ensure that the choke is fully open. 2. Remove the actuator from the choke body, using the appropriate actuator wrench. a. Use wrench P/N 40116 for hydraulic chokes. b. Use wrench P/N 41535 for manual chokes.

TC1350

3. Inspect the following critical areas on the choke body:

4.125" (104.78 mm)

C L

a.

4.00" (101.6 mm)

SD-017234

b.

a. The actuator O-ring sealing area in the choke body. The constant removal of the actuator to change gates and seats makes this area susceptible to wear. The bore diameter should be 4.125" (104.78mm). (Tolerance +.005"/-.000" [+.127mm/-.000mm]) If the bore is not within this tolerance, the body should be returned to Cameron Willis for repair. b. The bore of the choke body which houses the seat. This area is susceptible to wear and corrosion. The bore diameter should be 4.000" (101.6mm). (Tolerance +.005"/-.000" [+.127mm/-.000mm]) If the bore is not within this tolerance, the body should be returned to Cameron Willis for repair.

B. Choke Actuator
1. Inspect the O-ring groove(s) on the actuator nose OD every time the actuator is removed from the choke body. Remove any nicks or burrs with a fine emery cloth. 2. Install new O-ring(s) into the groove(s).

TC1350

3. Inspect the O-ring groove inside the actuator nose every time the gate is removed. Refer to Paragraph C for the gate removal procedure. If any chrome plating in or around the groove has been eroded, the actuator body should be returned to Cameron Willis for repair. 4. Install a new O-ring into the groove. 5. Inspect the chrome plating on the actuator nose. a. If any of the chrome plating has been eroded down to the base metal, the actuator body should be returned to Cameron Willis for repair. b. If any of the base metal has been eroded, the actuator body should be replaced.

C. Gate
1. Inspect the gate. a. Positive seal gates only: Any wear on the 45 chamfer prevents a carbide seal, thus eliminating the positive sealing capability of the choke. The choke may still be used for throttling; or the gate may be reversed, subject to the limitations below. b. If the gate is worn more than .750" (19.05mm) back from either sealing surface, the gate must be replaced. c. If any part of the gate is worn completely through, the gate must be replaced. 2. If the gate is not worn, proceed to Paragraph D.

e. Reverse the gate, and install it into the actuator by pushing it into place. Ensure that the two lockwashers, and the front and rear retainers, are installed in the correct sequence. Important: If the gate is worn on both ends, replace the gate. f. Install the retaining nut, securing the gate.

D. Seat and Wear Sleeve

1. Remove the seat.

Hand Pump Adaptor Spirol Pin

Yoke Centering Disc

Pulling Head Hydraulic Ram Fingers

SD-017236

a. Turn the spirol pin counterclockwise, retracting the fingers into the pulling head. b. Insert the tool, P/N 614445-03, into the bore of the seat. c. Ensure that the centering disc is firmly seated in the bore.

TC1350

d. Turn the spirol pin clockwise until it stops, extending the fingers and engaging the seat.

e. Thread the hydraulic ram firmly against the yoke. f. Connect a 20,000 psi (1380 Bars) hydraulic hand pump to the tool at the adapter. g. Activate the pump. The hydraulic ram will pump the seat out of the bore. h. Release the hydraulic pump pressure and remove the tool and seat from the choke body. i. Turn the spirol pin counterclockwise, retracting the fingers into the pulling head. 2. Inspect the seat. a. If a positive seal is required. 1) The seat must be reversed if there is any wear on the 45 angle on the ID of the seat. 2) The seat must be repaired or replaced if there is wear on both 45 angles on the ID of the seat. 13

b. If the seat is to be used for throttling only: 1) Moderate wear on the 45 angles on the ID of the seat is acceptable. 2) The seat must be replaced if it is worn through the entire 1.750" diameter. c The seat may be used as a flow restrictor, providing adequate back pressure can be maintained, and no positive seal is required.

3. Inspect the wear sleeve. Replace the wear sleeve if: a. It is worn through to the choke body. b. It is cracked or broken. c. Any part of it is missing. 4. Insert the seat into the bore of the choke. 5. Hammer the seat into position, using a wooden 2 x 4. 6. Install the actuator into the choke body by turning it clockwise. 7. Tighten the actuator, using the appropriate actuator wrench. a. Use wrench P/N 40116 for hydraulic chokes. b. Use wrench P/N 41535 for manual chokes.
