Shear Rams
Designed to shear drill pipe and seal off the wellbore
May be used as blind rams
to seal off the open hole
Shear blade design minimizes
required shearing load
Dual V arrangement
concentrates deforming
forces so drill pipe is crimped
on the shearing plane
Sharp rake angles impose
additional tensile load to aid in pipe separation
After shearing lateral T-seal seals on the horizontal sealing
surface of the lower blade carrier w

Shear Ram Assembly
Lower Blade Shear Ram
1. Prior to assembly, visually inspect all parts, apply a coating of non-petroleum based oil such as
castor oil to all seals and seal grooves, and lubricate all threads with Hydril thread lubricant
2. Install the lower blade on the ram block with the lower
blade cap screws
3. Install the two anti-extrusion blocks into the grooves
of the ram block
4. Install the lower blade top seal in the upper seal
groove of the ram block
Upper Blade Shear Ram
1. Prior to assembly, visually inspect all parts, apply a
coating of non-petroleum based oil such as castor
oil to all seals and seal grooves, and lubricate all
threads with Hydril thread lubricant
2. Install the upper blade top seal into the upper seal
groove of the ram block
3. Install the lateral T-seal. Insure that the lower T-section
of the seal is properly fitted within its groove
4. Install the upper blade with the four upper blade cap
screws hand tight. Insure that the lateral T-seal is
properly fitted between the upper blade and the ram block. Torque the cap screws.
5. Install the three upper blade set screws into the top of the ram block. Torque the set screws
6. Install the two alignment pins and hand tighten snug with a common screw driver

Testing
Hydraulically test with clear water
Inspect all hydraulic connections
Set appropriate size test tool in test stump
Close pipe rams on appropriate size pipe. Check for
hydraulic leaks
Increase wellbore pressure
to test pressure required
Low pressure
High pressure
Check for leaks
Continue test until rams are tested
Unless you intend to ruin your test
mandrel, DO NOT test shear rams
with pipe in the hole
wÊ
Testing R
Lockout devices are manually operated and require either a 3/8´ square drive or a
5/16´ 12-point socket wrench
Close rams, visually check for leaks and reduce closing pressure to 100 psi
ngage lockout devices. Rotate stem seven turns clockwise until snug
Apply opening pressure to 1500 psi in 500 psi increments, hold for three minutes.
Check for leaks Visually observe rams for movement.
