3. Field Fault Repair Case

Case: Piston Seal Leakage Under Steam Operation

Symptom: FH35-35/70 BOP showed hydraulic fluid leakage during steam-heated drilling (115℃). Root Cause: Seal-Piston O.D. (FW1305.16-00) suffered thermal hardening and friction wear due to insufficient high-temp lubrication. Repair: Replaced O-rings with genuine FW1305.16-00 parts, applied high-temp grease (complying with API 16A § 5.3), and cleaned piston surface. Preventive Measure: Lubricate piston seals every 8 hours of steam operation; monitor fluid temperature to avoid exceeding 120℃.

4. FAQ

Question

Answer

Why can’t common rubber seals replace fluororubber ones for this BOP?

Fluororubber (per GB/T 5574-2008) resists 150℃ high temp and steam erosion, while common rubber hardens or decomposes above 80℃. Using substitutes causes rapid leakage and BOP failure in steam-heated scenarios.

How often should wear rings be inspected for replacement?

Polyurethane wear rings (FH3535NL series) should be inspected monthly. Replace when wear depth reaches 3mm or surface cracks appear—excessive wear causes piston misalignment and seal damage.

What is the impact of thermal cycling on cap nuts and studs?

Thermal cycling causes expansion and contraction, leading to thread loosening. Retorque cap nuts (FW1305-03) and studs (FW1305-04) after each steam cycle, and replace if thread deformation is detected to avoid bonnet leakage.
