API RP53 - 7.3.5.4 The cumulative output capacity of the pump systems shall be sufficient to charge the main
accumulator system from precharge pressure to the system RWP within 15 minutes.
API RP53 - 7.3.5.5 With the loss of one pump system or one power system, the remaining pump systems shall have the
capacity to charge the main accumulator system from precharge pressure to the system RWP within
30 minutes.

Q: Does the accumulator system function the rams and annulars with the proper time limits?
Each ram BOP in 45 seconds or less YES
Each annular BOP in 60 seconds or less YES
FINAL PRESSURE
With pumps inoperative, the main accumulator system shall be capable of performing the
accumulator drawdown test, consisting of closing and opening at zero (0) wellbore pressure the
API RP53 - 7.4.6.4.2 largest operating volume annular BOP and the four smallest operating volume ram-type BOPs,
excluding test rams, with the remaining system pressure at least 200 psi (1.38 MPa) above the
precharge pressure.
Step: 4 Turn on power of electric and air pump. Record re-charging time upto 3000psi system pressure
RECHARGE TIME
NOTE: For simulating the fluid requirements of the blind rams, Opened the 4-way valve for the Upper Pipe Rams.
