Drilling Motor Test Stand

Drilling Motor Test Stand

The Griffith • Vector Testmaster and Hydramaster are drilling motor The Testmaster uses a caliper brake and disc to provide the braking torque,

TD350P PORTABLE TOP DRIVE DRILLING SYSTEM

dynamometer test benches designed to be operated safely and efficiently by one
person. Both units offer easy clamping and support systems for either straight or
bent motors; a fast and simple means to couple the motor to fluid supply, and
easy fixturing of the motor output shaft to the dynamometer. Floor to floor time
is therefore very short, so the units offer a rapid turnaround on any test using
only a series of simple procedures.
Both the Testmaster and the Hydramaster are operated from free standing
control consoles (combined if both units are at the same location) containing
the hydraulic power source, controls and instrumentation. The operator may set
combinations of flow and torque to evaluate motor performance and print the
results.
while the Hydramaster uses a positive displacement hydraulic brake, which
provides accurate and repeatable load application and the precise control
required to evaluate small diameter motors at low torque and slow speed. In
both cases, the load to the motor is applied by a single knob on the control
panel.
Griffith • Vector can assist the client with the specification or selection of the
engine, transmission, and pump required for the system. Griffith can also put
a complete package together including tanks, flow lines, etc. should that be
necessary.

 Griffith • Vector Mini-Torque II
Breakout Machine and Jar Testers

Griffith • Vector Mini-Torque II Griffith • Vector Jar Tester

The Griffith • Vector Mini-Torque II is a portable, hydraulic make up
and breakout unit requiring only an electrical power supply. It can be safely
and efficiently operated by one person and handles tools from 25⁄8" to 83⁄4"
diameter using standard tong dies without changing jaws or heads.
The Mini-Torque II consists of two components, a rotating head/ control
assembly and a self-contained hydraulic power unit/reservoir.
The rotating head assembly is suspended from a crane and positioned on the
workpiece to make or break the connections. This is a faster and more efficient
method than moving a cumbersome workpiece to a fixed breakout unit. The
Mini-Torque II may also be used while it stands on the floor to make or break
connections on kelly valves or other short components. The rotating head
consists of two clamp assemblies, each containing four radially mounted clamp
cylinders, that are synchronized and self-centering. These clamp assemblies
rotate relative to each other to apply the required torque. The clamping force
is proportional to the applied torque. The operating controls are located on the
fixed head assembly.
The Griffith • Vector Jar Tester is a rugged, self-contained unit designed
to test the proper operation of fishing jars, drilling jars and other downhole
drilling tools. The horizontal main frame and attached hydraulic cylinder
efficiently applies tension and compression forces in direct axial alignment
with the workpiece.
The Griffith • Vector Jar Tester is designed to stand alone or to be an acces-
sory to the Griffith • Vector Torquemaster. The auxiliary circuit on the Torque-
master console will provide the proper hydraulic power and control for effective
operation of the jar tester.
To test a tool in the jar tester, test nubbins are first threaded into the tool
connections. The tool can be placed into the jar tester frame after the tail
carriage and head carriage have been adjusted to accommodate tool length.
Tension or compression force can then be applied to the tool through the test
nubbins.
Customer should specify connections for test nubbins at time of order.

 Bowen Service Center
for Downhole Tools

Bowen Service Center

The Bowen Service Center for Downhole Tools is another innovation
by the company dedicated to furnishing quality tools in oilfields throughout the
world.
National Oilwell is the world’s leading manufacturer of oilfield tools and
equipment, and the hydraulically powered Bowen Service Center is designed to
allow the quick assembly and disassembly of all rotary tools.
The Bowen Service Center facilitates downhole tool repair work in both time
and convenience. The unique new concept incorporates five tools in one; and
one man can operate the entire unit. It is a must for any service company or
OEM involved in the servicing and repair of downhole tools. Other advantages
of the Service Center include the use of a proven makeup/breakout cam-action
system, push-pull assembly and a spinner assembly.
Components of the Service Center include the base unit which has the
following sub assemblies: the drive unit, traveling backup, spinner, push pull
assembly, three adjustable guide roller assemblies and the skid assembly.
Note: Bowen Jar Testers can be used to accompany the Bowen Service Center.

Bowen Flawmaster
The Bowen Flawmaster is used for the detection of invisible defects in
ferrous metals through magnetic particle inspection. It is particularly suited for
“on location” detection of defects in tools, tool joints, subs, and fishing tools
to prevent downhole failures and to avoid fishing jobs caused by such failures.
The Bowen Flawmaster can also be used for the detection of flaws and invis-
ible defects in all ferrous metals during manufacturing. Raw materials, parts
in manufacture, final inspection parts, reworked or overhauled parts and tools
may all be inspected.
Magnetizing currents may be either low-voltage, high-current AC or DC. All
circuits are fused for the protection of electrical components against accidental
overload, with fuses easily replaceable from the front of the cabinet.
Either dry powder or liquid suspension particles may be used, depending
upon the size, type and finish of the article to be inspected.

 Bowen Type D Jar Tester

Bowen Type D Jar Tester

The Bowen Type D Jar Tester is a versatile machine designed to exert
a tension or compression load which ranges from zero to 70 tons (140,000
pounds). It is engineered to accomplish this in a simple and controlled manner.
The Bowen Jar Tester will accept a tool up to 110" in length and 10" O.D. It
has a 20" stroke. A suitable, easy to read indicator is incorporated to show the
applied load in tons.

Uses
The Bowen Jar Tester provides an accurate and effective means of testing Bowen
Hydraulic Rotary Jars and Fluid Intensifiers and for setting Bowen Mechanical
Rotary Jars, Bowen Jar Safety Joints, Drilling Jars, (2 to 5 foot extensions
required for Drilling Jars), and Bowen Bumper Subs at any desired tripping
tonnage. This Jar Tester is especially useful in locations where proper main-
tenance of these tools must be conducted by the operator. It is also used for
checking other equipment, such as formation testing tools.
The Jar Tester can be used with Bowen Service Center and Rotary Tool Service
Type “D” Jar Tester
Units.

Construction
The Bowen Jar Tester consists of a long, sturdy horizontal frame, composed
of three main load members, and suitable positioning yokes. An adjustable
pull plate maintains one end of the tool being tested, while the other is held
by the crosshead. The crosshead is attached to a hydraulic actuated piston and
cylinder.
The hydraulic force required to operate the piston is provided by an electric

Bowen Model 911 “Soft-Shoe” Tubing Tong

The Model 911 Tubing Tong utilizes Bowen’s patented soft shoe jaw system.
An open-faced, soft-shoe tong and floating rotary backup system, Model 911 is
designed especially for your premium tubing requirements.
By spreading its gripping force evenly over the tubing surface, the tong jaws
of the 911 gently mold themselves to the various irregularities of the tubing. The
result? Minimum marking and damage.
Model 911 also features a unique design that eliminates the side and bending
loads which other’ tong systems impose on the tubing connection. Plus, for
your most demanding applications, Model 911 can be configured either with
integrally-mounted electronic or hydraulic load cells to give precise readings.
• All the convenience and ease-of-use of an open face tong
• No special steps necessary to engage the tubing
• Precise readings, regardless of application
• Variable speed adjustments to 1 rpm
• Rugged design requires minimum maintenance,
regardless of surrounding environment
• Precise handling — time after time
• Designed to work with the Bowen Compu-Torque Computer System
