Specifications
General specifications
The Elevator / Spider is a tool designed for lifting and suspending tubular goods, from light
tubing to heavy wall pipe and drill collars.
Description
The main body of these units can be dressed as a casing elevator or as a spider. The
upper unit is dressed as an elevator, using a bottom guide and a bell guide. The lower unit
is dressed as a spider, using a top guide to aid in centering the casing.
The elevator is attached to the derrick traveling block and hook with 250 or 350 tons 2
standard API links. The spider can be located directly on the master bushing or rotary,
assuming flat and sufficient contact surface is assured. If the rated load capacity of the
rotary table is less than the capacity of the elevator/spider, or if the rotary table surface is
not flat, a Varco BJ adapter plate may be used.
Theory of operation
Air pressure (85 to 125 psi / 585 to 860 KPa) applied to the cylinders when the control
lever is actuated. When the control lever is moved, air pressure in the cylinders causes the
leveling beams to change position - moving up to release, or down to set.
When the control lever is moved down, the slips are lowered into the tapered bowl and
forced inward radially to center and grip the casing. When set, the slips hold casing
securely, without damage. The direct air lift and lock mechanism enables instant actuation
of the slips. In offshore or land operations this allows the rig hands to raise and lock, or
lower and set the slips instantly.
BJ-type Elevator / Spiders

The Varco BJ-type elevator spiders are being produced in 2 different sizes.Both the 7-5/8”
250-tons models and 13-5/8” 350-ton offer a choice of manual or air-powered slip control.
The 250-tons model is designed for medium-to-long strings of small casing and pipe from
2-3/8" through 7-5/8" O.D. The 350-tons handles all API pipe sizes from 4-1/2" through 13-
5/8'' O.D.
On all slip body sizes, reducing inserts can simply and rapidly be installed, permitting the
handling of pipe with an O.D. up to 1" smaller than the nominal slip body size without
changing slips. When dressed as an elevator the tool includes a body guide plate, a door
guide plate and a casing guide bell, which automatically centers the pipe for easier
positive locking of the slips.
Auxiliary equipment needed to use the tool as a spider includes a spider adapter plate
which sits on the rotary table to provide a secure platform for the tool and an upper guard
guide assembly which functions as a pipe- centering device. All models feature a double-

General information
Magnetic Particle Inspection

Non-destructive examination
Varco BJ elevators should be MPI examined once per year, or more often if any suspicion
of overload is risen. This magnetic particle examination should be conducted as outlined 1
in the latest revision of the recommended practice API RP 8B as a minimum. The
magnetic particle examination method consists of magnetizing the area to be inspected
and then applying magnetic particles to the surface of the test area.
Evaluations of indications
Relevant indications: Only those indications with major dimensions greater than 1/16 Inch
(1.6 mm) and associated with a surface rupture shall be considered relevant. Relevant
indications are indications that results from, discontinuities within the test part. Non
relevant indications are indications that results from excessive magnetizing current,
structural design or permeability variances within the test parts.
Any indication believed to be non-relevant shall be regarded as relevant and shall be re- 3
examined to determine whether an actual defect exists.
Linear indications shall be considered as those having a length of more than three times
the width. Rounded indications shall be considered as those having a length less than
three times the width. A lined indication shall be considered as a group of three more
indications which touch an imaginary straight line connecting any two of the group.

Change of numbering of 250 ton slip sets
Over the years, changes have been implemented on the 250 Tons slip assemblies. In
order to make the slip assemblies interchangable with the FMS275, the part numbering
related to the slip assemblies was changed. In below cross-over diagram one can look up
the various numbers.
