This procedure establishes the method for the selection and application of safety wire.
Lock wiring is the application of wire to prevent relative movement of structure or other
critical components subject to vibration, tension, torque, etc.
Bolts, Nuts and Screws are the common type of fasteners used on NOV
equipment. They need to be locked (secondary retention) against loss of torque / pre-
tension.
Note that the secondary retention will work only if the primary retention method is
properly in place, i.e. bolts and screws are tightened and torqued as per specifications,
and there is no play between the mating elements. Secondary retention methods aim in
preventing any compromise in primary retention, loss of pre-tension in assembled
fasteners, loosening and backing out.
Definitions:
2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
3 REQUIREMENTS
3.1.1 Material
Lock wire must be aircraft quality stainless steel 302/304 condition A.
3.2.2 Parts shall be lockwired in such a manner that the lockwire shall be put in tension
when the part tends to loosen.
3.2.3 The lockwire should always be installed and twisted so that the loop around the
head stays down and does not tend to come up over bolt head and leave a slack loop.
3.2.4 Care shall be exercised when installing lockwire to ensure that it is tight but not
over stressed.
3.2.5 Properly twisted lockwire will have 7-12 twists per inch for .032 wire and 6-8 turns
for .052 wire. More twists will over stress the wire and cause fatigue and breakage.
3.2.6 A pigtail should be ½” to 5/8” in length (4-8 twists) at the end of the wiring. This
pigtail shall be bent back or under to prevent it from becoming a snag.
3.2.7 As per the Machinery’s Handbook 27th edition the following rules apply:
The larger wire may be used in smaller bolts in cases of convenience, but smaller
wire must not be used in larger fastener sizes.
Document number ASP00019
Revision A
Page 6
3.3.1 The method involves threading a wire through holes in the fastener to lock it
against being rotated loose. The wire is twisted before being threaded and is locked to
next bolt. Safety wire should be placed in and around bolt head to maintain the pre-load.
The use of safety wire ties is illustrated in figure 1 above. The illustrations assume the
use of right-hand threaded fasteners.
CAUTION: screws in closely spaced geometric which secure hydraulic or air seals, hold
hydraulic pressure, or used in critical areas of clutch mechanism should use double twist
method of lock-wiring. Make sure that the wire is so installed that it can easily be broken
when required in an emergency situation.
3.3.3 Lock-wiring widely spaced multiple groups by the double twist method.
a) When the multiple fasteners are from 4-6 inches apart, three (3) fasteners
shall be the maximum number in a series that can be safety wired
together.
b) When the multiple fasteners are spaced more than 6 inches apart, the
multiple fastener application specified in Figure 1 shall not be used unless
tie points are provided on adjacent parts to shorten the span of the wire to
less than 6 inches.
c) One end of the safety wire shall be inserted through one set of lockwire
holes in the head of the bolt. The other end of the safety wire shall be
looped around the bolt head in the tightening direction.
Document number ASP00019
Revision A
Page 7
d) The strands, while taut, shall be twisted until the twisted part is just short of
the nearest hole in the next bolt. The twisted portion shall be within 1/8” of
the holes in each bolt as shown in figure 1 above.
e) After wiring the last bolt, the wire shall be twisted to form a pigtail of 2-4
twists. The excess wire shall be cut off. The pigtail shall be bent back or
under the part to prevent it from becoming a snag.
3.4.1 Hollow head bolts are safety wired in the manner prescribed for regular bolts.
3.4.2 Drain plugs and cocks may be wired to a bolt, nut, or other part having a free lock
hole in accordance with the general instructions contained herein.
3.4.3 External snap rings may be locked if necessary in accordance with the general
locking principles contained herein.
3.4.5 Bolts and hardware may be wired using SAFE-T-Cable. Follow procedure
D744000087-PRO-001.
Safe-T-Cable® can be used similar to Safety/Lock wire to secure Fasteners. The safety
cable installation procedure is shown in Figure. The safety cable comes in pre-cut
lengths with stubs on one end. After sewing through the holes in the fasteners they are
tightened and crimped using a ferrule cartridge and crimping tool.
They are more convenient to use and take only a fraction of the time to secure fasteners
as compared to safety wire as no wire twisting is required. However additional tools like
ferrule cartridge and crimping tool are required. For additional information refer Safe-T-
Cable® (website http://www.dmctools.com/Catalog/safe_t_cable.htm).

Chapter 2: Overview
Tool Description
The ST-80C Iron Roughneck is an oil-rig tool used for make-up and break-out of drilling tubular
connections. Designed for use on smaller rigs where floor space is limited, the durable ST-80C
Iron Roughneck features an extend/retract scissor-arm system and is available in standard and tall
models. With the tall pedestal Iron Roughneck model, the operator has the capability of raising the
Iron Roughneck above the deck crew’s head in the parked position. Thus, the ST-80C allows
clearance around well center and mousehole both during use and when placed in the parked
position.
i
For safety considerations, the ST-80C Iron Roughneck cannot be operated
when placed in the parked position.
The control console, which mounts on the front left or right side of the Iron Roughneck carriage,
operates the hydraulic components safely and quickly providing up to 80,000 ft.-lbs. of torque to
make-up and break-out drilling tubular connections.
The ST-80C is installed on the drill floor and uses either a single, floor-mounted socket or a floor-
mounted bearing and upper mast attachment for elevated storage. No hanging cable is needed.
The ST-80C works at well center and the mousehole. This automated Iron Roughneck can be
rotated by hand about the pedestal for storage when not in use.

Floating vessels are subject to wave action and wind, resulting in
unpredictable floor motion. Unpredictable floor motion can cause an ST-80C
to make sudden and unexpected movements. When this begins to occur,
operations should cease and the ST-80C should be secured at well center,
mousehole, or standby position. Refer to procedures in Figure 4-8.
Procedure
1. Stop operation.
2. On the control panel, move the BACK/FWD lever to
the BACK position: move the ST-80C to parked position.
3. Turn the base assembly jackscrews (2 places)
clockwise until they tighten against the base plate to
prevent pedestal rotation.

When greasing the spinner assembly, watch for clean grease extruding from
under the spinning wrench rollers. If it becomes difficult to inject grease and
no grease extrudes from under the spinner rollers, the grease vent may be
missing or clogged. This can jam the spinner rollers. Repair or replace as
necessary.

Recommended Lubricants Guide Introduction
Before equipment operation, it is essential to determine the grade and quality of lubricant
appropriate for the minimum ambient temperature of operation. To determine if this guide is
applicable, refer to the General Recommendations section in this guide.
This guide provides recommendations for selecting the appropriate grade and quality of the
following lubricants:
• Hydraulic Fluid
• Gear Oil
• Grease
• Air Lubricator Misting Oil
General Recommendations
Adhere to the lubrication product information and instructions listed in/on:
• The design notes on the assembly drawing in the technical drawing package
• The nameplate on the equipment
• The documentation of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
If there is no information for selecting the appropriate lubricant for the NOV equipment provided,
refer to the NOV recommendations provided in this guide.
This guide lists the specifications or required qualities, not particular brand names, of the
recommended lubricants for the equipment. If none of the recommended lubricants have the
correct properties for the ambient and operating temperature ranges at your location, contact an
NOV service center for instructions.
Reference: For application and maintenance information, see the OEM documentation or NOV
service manual.
If the application and maintenance information is not available, contact your NOV representative.

Hydraulic Fluid
An anti-wear (AW) hydraulic fluid of the proper viscosity grade is recommended for the hydraulic
system.
Selecting the appropriate fluid viscosity grade to operate a typical hydraulic system involves the
consideration of the following interdependent variables:
• The starting viscosity at the minimum ambient temperature
• Verification that:
– The pour point temperature of hydraulic fluid will be at least 17°C (30°F) lower than the
expected minimum ambient temperature.
– The hydraulic fluid pours freely at the minimum operating temperature.

Gear Oil
This section is a general guide for selecting the gear oil used on the top drive, iron roughneck, and
pipe racking systems only.
Reference: If the gearbox is not part of a top drive, iron roughneck, or pipe racking system, see the
equipment vendor documentation or contact an NOV representative.
Always use an extreme pressure (EP) gear oil when working with gearboxes.
The EP gear oils are typically mineral oils that contain sulfur-phosphorous
additives. Most EP gear oils meet the American Gear Manufacturers
Association (AGMA) extreme pressure-performance requirements.
The pour point temperature of the oil should be at least 6°C (10°F) lower than the expected
minimum ambient temperature. The gear oil must pour freely at its minimum operating
temperature.
At start-up, the oil should flow freely and not cause high torque. If the ambient temperature
approaches the gear oil pour point, a heater may be used to get the fluid flowing and to ensure
proper lubrication of components.
This section will cover the following:
• Recommended Top Drive Gear Oil
• Recommended Iron Roughneck and Pipe Racking Gear Oil

1. Unless noted, all values are based on light machine oil or anti seize lubricated bolts (not high
pressure lubes)
2. NOV does not recommend assembling bolts dry
3. Proof Strength is 92% of minimum yield strength
4. Torque values given represent 70% to 80% of proof strength
5. Clamp force is based on 75% of proof strength
6. These torque values are to be followed unless otherwise specified
7. If torqueing into aluminum, contact engineering for appropriate torque value.
8. After proper torque has been established in accordance with specification, fasteners shall be
immediately identified as being torqued by either:
a) Being safety wired in accordance with ASP00019 and/or
b) Marked with an “X” using either a red or yellow paint marker.

Scope
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance to the installers and users of
Varco’s hydraulically powered equipment and to ensure that each piece of equipment
performs as intended. Prior to connecting Varco equipment to a hydraulic system, the
piping/plumbing/hoses/service loops must be cleaned and the hydraulic fluid filtered to
minimize hydraulic fluid contamination. The following paragraph defines the
hydraulic fluid cleanliness levels required for operating Varco equipment. Failure to
maintain these cleanliness levels could result in premature equipment damage and
nullification of the equipment warranty.
This document outlines fluid cleanliness measurement and analysis criteria and also
describes procedures for filtering and cleaning a hydraulic system.
Each final assembly item from Varco will be function tested with clean hydraulic fluid
maintained at ISO 4406 18/15 (was 9) or better (See Table 1). The hydraulic fluid
cleanliness levels will be recorded on Test Specification document (TS00419) for each
piece of equipment prior to shipment.
Hydraulic fluid
Varco recommends hydraulic fluid levels be maintained at a cleanliness level of ISO
4406 18/15 (was 9) or better prior to the initial connection, startup, and commissioning
of Varco equipment. After initial system operation, Varco recommends that the
hydraulic supply system be capable of continuously maintaining this level of
cleanliness or better to assure that fluid contamination is not a factor in any component
failure during the desired useful life of the hydraulic powered equipment. The final
level of acceptable cleanliness prior to equipment hook up must be determined by a
hydraulic fluid sample and should be analyzed by a qualified laboratory.
Solid contamination
When determining contamination of hydraulic fluids, you must consider the size and
quantity of the solid particle contamination within a representative fluid sample. The
contamination of hydraulic fluids by solid particles is covered by a number of different
classification systems:
CLASSES OF CONTAMINATION
The various classes of contamination define the quantity of particles of a certain size in
a 100 ml sample of fluid.
Above a dirt concentration of about 20 mg per liter, or if the fluid is very turbid, the
contamination can only be ascertained by weight, i.e., by gravimetric analysis.
However, with this method, the individual dirt particles cannot be classified.

Taking samples
Sampling point: Take the sample within a system that is operating and which contains
turbulent flow. (See ISO 4021.)
Since obtaining a fluid sample can be an input for contamination the following general
measures should be utilized when taking a fluid sample.
❏ Utilize continuous flow monitoring equipment that records a cleanliness level over
a period of time whenever possible.
❏ Take a sample of the circulating fluid of a system that is at operating conditions and
temperature. All fluid samples shall be taken from a system test-port fitting using
a on/off flow sampling device. Never loosen or break a hydraulic fitting to establish
a leak point as a fluid source for fluid contamination sampling.
❏ Before attaching the sampling device, carefully flush out the device and clean the
system test-port fitting.
❏ Open sampling device and allow approximately 2 liters of fluid to flow through the
test port prior to sampling the fluid.
❏ Without shutting the test port, open and fill the sterile sampling bottle by holding
it in the continuous fluid stream. Cap and seal the test bottle.
❏ Label and date the sample bottle to identify the tool and sample hydraulic circuit
location.
e Only properly trained personnel should be allowed to take the fluid samples. Errors in
sampling procedures can greatly affect contamination classes below ISO 18/IS.
To avoid errors in sampling, conduct particle counting off site. Do not allow rig
personnel to attempt to check the samples at the time of sampling. Send the samples to
an appropriate institute for testing.
z Mobile laboratory services can also perform the measurements for customers.
Service loops
Varco service loops are blown clean in the factory and capped prior to shipment. They
are not flushed. All service loops and hoses should be flushed as part of the overall
hydraulic system prior to connecting Varco equipment.
The process for cleaning and preparing hydraulic pipes is dependent on the type of pipe
(carbon or stainless), the condition of the pipe (pickled or not pickled), the types and
levels of contamination, the types and temperatures of the pickling and flushing
solutions in use, and the type of flushing equipment.
REFERENCE DOCUMENTS:
❏ ASTM Standard 5.02 D-4174, standard practice for cleaning, flushing, and
purification of petroleum fluid hydraulic system.
Degrease
Spray, immerse, or circulate with alkaline cleaner. Degreasing time for pipe depends
on the nature of any contaminants present. Pipes and fittings with heavy rust, varnish
or other tough soils should be sandblasted prior to pickling.
Rinse
Rinse carbon steel pipe with potable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.
Acid pickle
Immerse or spray the pipe with a 10-15% inhibited hydrochloric acid solution at
ambient temperature (for at least one hour) until all scale, slag, rust, etc. Is removed.
Rinse with potable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.
Rinse
Rinse the pipe with potable water until the water reaches a neutral PH (7.0).
Flush
Begin flushing the piping with the hydraulic power unit until the desired state of
cleanliness is met.
Degrease
Spray, immerse, or circulate with alkaline cleaner. Degreasing time for pipe depends
on the nature of any contaminants present.
Rinse
Rinse pipe with portable water until all alkaline cleaner is removed.
Acid pickle
Immerse or spray the pipe with a 15-17% nitric acid/3-5% hydrofluoric acid mixture at
ambient temperature (for at least two hours) until all scale, slag, rust, etc. is removed.
Rinse
Rinse the pipe with potable water until the water reaches a neutral PH.
Passivate
Use a 10 - 15% nitric acid/75-80% potable water mixture at ambient temperature for
approximately one-half the time used in acid pickling.
Rinse
Rinse with potable water until the PH of the effluent equals the pH of the influent.
Dry
Dry with oil-free air until all visible traces of moisture are removed.
Final inspection
Use a white light to inspect all pipe and/or fittings for visible contamination. Prior to
hooking up equipment pump clean hydraulic fluid through the plumbing and measure
the contamination of the system per this specification. Additional flushing and cleaning
may be required if contamination levels do not meet the requirements of this
specification.
