Rongsheng/Shenkai BOP Seals Guide

Core Application & Target User Overviewaa

This guide focuses on FZ35-70 series seal parts exclusively compatible with Rongsheng, HBRS, and Shenkai Blowout Preventers (BOPs)—critical equipment widely used in oil and gas drilling operations. It is tailored to meet the refined needs of professional groups including oilfield procurement managers, drilling platform maintenance technicians, and BOP service providers. The core purpose of these seals is to ensure reliable sealing performance at key joints and pressure-bearing components of FZ35-70 BOPs, preventing wellbore fluid leakage, maintaining downhole pressure stability, and ultimately safeguarding drilling operational safety. All content adheres to API Specification 6A (the global authoritative standard for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment) and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) technical requirements of Rongsheng, HBRS, and Shenkai. It serves as a dual reference for accurate procurement and efficient technical troubleshooting, helping users avoid risks such as seal failure-induced blowout hazards and unplanned downtime.

Classified Seal Parts by BOP Brand

1. Seal Parts for Rongsheng BOP (FZ35-70 Series)

Scenario Anchoring: Rongsheng FZ35-70 BOPs are mainly deployed in medium-deep oil and gas wells with high downhole pressure and complex formation fluid conditions (containing hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and other corrosive media).

Procurement & Maintenance Standards

To ensure the safe and reliable operation of Rongsheng/HBRS/Shenkai FZ35-70 BOPs, the following procurement and maintenance standards are recommended, serving as authoritative references for both procurement decisions and technical troubleshooting:
1.
Procurement Standards:
- Source seals exclusively from authorized suppliers to guarantee compliance with OEM technical specifications and API 6A standards. Verify product certification documents (including NACE MR0175, ISO 14644-1) before purchase.
- Confirm the dimensional accuracy and material compatibility of seals with the target BOP model (Rongsheng or Shenkai FZ35-70) to avoid mismatch risks.
- Prioritize seals with traceability codes for full lifecycle management, enabling quick tracking of production batch and quality inspection records.
2.
Pre-Installation Inspection:
- Inspect seals for surface defects (cracks, bulges, scratches) and dimensional deviations using precision measuring tools (e.g., micrometers, calipers).
- Clean the BOP sealing surface thoroughly to remove oil, debris, and rust; ensure the surface flatness and roughness meet OEM requirements.
- Verify that the installation tools are compatible with the seal material to avoid damage during assembly (e.g., use plastic or copper tools for rubber seals).
3.
Routine Maintenance:
- Establish a maintenance schedule based on operating conditions: for onshore wells, inspect seals monthly; for offshore and high-sulfide wells, inspect weekly.
- Conduct regular pressure testing in accordance with API 6A standards to verify sealing performance; replace seals immediately if leakage is detected.
- Store spare seals in a dedicated clean warehouse, avoiding contact with oil, chemicals, and direct sunlight; follow the "first-in-first-out" principle for inventory management.
4.
Failure Handling:
- For seal failure, conduct root cause analysis (e.g., chemical analysis of fluid, dimensional inspection of BOP components) to prevent recurrence.
- Replace all seals in the same assembly simultaneously to ensure consistent performance; avoid mixing new and used seals.
