1.00 INTRODUCTION
1.01 This manual provides installation, opera-
tion, and maintenance instructions for the
Type E and EB Weight Indicator with Hercules
Model 120T Deadline Anchors, and compression
type E551 Sensater load cells.
1.02 For illustrative parts lists:

instructions see IADC maintenance checklists
MC0279-02 and MC0481-08.
2.00 DESCRIPTION
2.01 The Anchor is designed to provide a
practical method of securing the dead line
and for slipping the line at regular intervals.
The weight indicator (defined in Table 2-l) uses
the Sensater Load Cell, installed in the W ire
Line Anchor, to sense the hook load via the
deadline and transmit it to the weight indicator
gage mounted in front of the driller. The weight
indicator TOTAL LOAD dial indicates the load
supported by the derrick or mast; the BIT
WEIGHT dial indicates the weight on the bit with
a direct-reading vernier pointer. Total load
and bit weight dial capacities are based on the
number of lines strung and the single line rating.

2.03 COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
2.04 Each Weight Indicator System consists of
the following components:
a. W ire Line Anchor
b. Sensater Load Cell
c. Hydraulic Hose
d. Weight Indicator Gage
e. Box or Console (with additional
instrumentation)
f. Line-Slipping Snubber for W ire Line
Anchor (Optional)
2.05 W ire Line Anchor. The anchor (Figure 3-2)
has a wire line clamp with bronze inserts
for specified wire rope size. The wire line is
reeved on the drum approximately 3 or 4 wraps
to snub the dead line load before the wire line is
passed through the clamp to the reserve reel.
2.06 Sensater Load Cell. The Sensater
(Figure 2-l) is installed in the anchor and
is the load cell for sensing the weight signal.

hose, normally 50 ft long, is provided with
a disconnect coupling on one end for mating with
the Sensater. The other end connects directly to
the weight indicator gage.

2.08 Weight Indicator Gage. The gage face is
16 inches in diameter with white CODYon a
black background and has two dials. The-inner
dial indicates the total hook load and the outer
dial indicates weight on the bit with a four-to-one
ratio vernier pointer. Two sets of dials are fur-
nished with each weight indicator gage. Each side
of the dial is graduated with the appropriate ca-
pacity for the number of lines strung and single
line rating.
2.09 Box or Console Mounted. The weight
indicator gage may be mounted in either
the basic A337 Box (Figure 2-2) or one of the
custom consoles (see cover page). Additional
space is available in box or console for drilling
function gages, meter, controls, etc.
2.10 Line-Slipping Snubber. The snubber
(Figure 2-3) is designed to attach to the
-
anchor for controlled line-slipping as a one-man
operation during slip-and-cut procedures.

3.00 INSTALLATION
3.01 ANCHOR. The anchor (Figure 3-2) is
designed for base mounting to the derrick
floor using (4) 2” dia. Grade 5 or metric equi-
valent bolts (see Figure 3-l). It is important
that the anchor is mounted so that the deadline
has a clear and unobstructed path to the dead
sheave in the crown block. If the deadline is
not aligned correctly and it rubs against the
derrick, or the line passes over a deflection
sheave, the sensitivity is greatly reduced. To
align with the deadline tilt the anchor using
wedges as shown in Figure 3-l.

4.00 OPERATION
4.01 ELEVATING AND LOWERING THE MAST
(where applicable). Before elevating or
lowering the mast, remove bolt (Figure 3-3,
item 1) and snubber assembly to provide clear-
ance for line as it angles around anchor drum.
Replace bolt and snubber assembly when mast
is in new position.
4.02 DRILLING
a. Set damper for required sensitivity.
Shut off the vernier pointer during trips.
b. Set the BIT WEIGHT dial by rotating
the zero adjust knob on the top right
side of the gage so that the zero (0) on
the BIT WEIGHT dial is directly under
the white vernier pointer.. This should
be done when off bottom with pumps
running. For weight on bit when dril-
ling, release the brake and allow the
drill string to rotate on the bottom
until the vernier weight on bit pointer
is at the desired value.
4.03 LINE SLIP AND CUT
a. Control line slipping by using the dril-
ling line snubber as a friction,brake.
b. Be sure there is adequate spring force,
or manually hold the snubber against
the line, to prevent it from slipping.
C. Loosen the nuts on the anchor clamp
bolts (item 3, Figure 3-3).
d. Pull up on the snubber handle against
the spring force and allow the line to
slip the desired length.
e. Tighten nuts on anchor clamp bolts.
4.04 FACTORS AFFECTING ACCURACY
4.05 System Accuracy (Table 4-l). Basic
system accuracy is *O. 5% of full scale.
This accuracy however may be affected by any
of the following factors:
a. It may be necessary or convenient to
mount the anchor several feet below
the weight indicator gage. In this case,
all weight readings will be slightly low.

Calibration
Wire Size Reading Error
A one-foot difference between the weight
indicator gage and the Sensater will
cause the weight indication error shown
in Table 4-2.

210 lb 280 lb 350 lb 420 lb ---
--- 280 lb 350 lb 420 lb 490 lb
Example:
Using a Type E indicator, 8 lines strung,
with the Sensater and. anchor 10 feet
below the gage, the weight indicator
gage will read 2,800 pounds low at all
readings. To compensate for this low
reading, the total load pointer may be
reset by the mechanic during initial rig up.
b. Greatest error may occur as a result of
the tackle system friction and hole fric-
tion. The tackle system friction may be
reduced as shown in paragraphs 5.01 b,
cande. The hole friction may be re-
duced using acquired drilling knowledge
and experience.
4.06 Buoyancy Factor. As the drill pipe and
collars are suspended in mud, the total
hook load is affected by the buoyancy factor of
the fluid. The heavier the mud the less the
pipe will weigh. To correct this factor, the
weight of the traveling block, hook, elevator,
swivel and kelly must be totalled. To this
must be added the calculated weight of the
pipe and collars in air multiplied by the buoy-
ancy factors shown in Table 4-3.

7.01 SYSTEM REPAIR
7.02 System repair is limited to charging or
bleeding the hydraulic system, re-
moving and replacing the indicator, load cell
and/or hydraulic hose or replacing the O-Ring
(Part No. 100796-113AO) in the 5900 or J901
series Hydraulic hose disconnects.
7.03 CHARGING THE SYSTEM
‘7.04 Hydraulic Fluid Addition. The system
must be kept full of hydraulic fluid at all
times to accurately indicate load. If the gap
(Figure 3-4) is less than 0.75 inch (19mm) in
the fully charged position with empty blocks,
the system should be checked for leaks, repaired,
and reloaded through checkvalve with YA2 hand
pump (Figure 7-l) as follows:
a. Be sure that system block weight is
not supported by derrick lines.
b. Ensure that hose is free of kinks and
sharp bends.
C. Remove cap from F350-1 checkvalve.
d. Attach YA2 hand pump with swivel to
check valve,
NOTE
Swivel nut must be loose to allow
for air purging.
e. Fill hand pump reservoir with W15/
W16 (Red) hydraulic fluid.
NOTE
To prevent air from entering
system ensure that fluid in
reservoir does not drop below
l/2 full.
f. Slowly operate hand pump until air is
purged at loose swivel nut, then
tighten nut.

The J10900A series hydraulic hose quick
disconnect half couplings (Part Nos. JlOgOOA-02
and JlOgOOA-20) have replaced the 5900 and
J901 series disconnects. The J10900A series
disconnects donot contain an O-Ring; however
the 5900 and J901 series disconnects contain
an O-Ring which if damaged must be replaced
as follows to preserve the integrity of the
system.
a. Be sure that system block weight is
not supported by derrick lines.
b. Remove damaged O-Ring from the
female-half of the disconnect.
C. Clean O-Ring groove.
d. Lubricate (using silicon, or equivalent)
and install new O-Ring. (Part No.
100796-113AO).
Be careful not to damage O-Ring
during mating. A damaged O-Ring
could result in hydraulic fluid leak-
ing during operation.
e. Carefully align male and female coup-
ling halves and push firmly together.
Thread nut onto male half of coupling
and tighten.
