Shaffer® RAM BOP LXT™ designed for Drilling & Workover Service

The Shaffer® hydraulic operated Model LXT™ ram blowout preventer (LXT BOP) with manual locking cylinders provides a rugged, reliable preventer that is easily serviced in the field (see Figure 2-1).

Special features include:

• Patented “Boltless Door” design for fast and simple ram changes.
• Radial door seals between door and body.
• Standard internal H2S trim.
• One piece ram assemblies.
• Existing Sentinel II ram assemblies are used in the LXT.
• Wear rings between the piston and cylinder to increase seal life.
• Polyurethane lip-type piston seals with lifetime lubrication.
• Lip-type ram shaft seals to hold the wellbore pressure and the opening hydraulic pressure.
• Secondary ram shaft packing seals

The manual lock LXT BOP is available in single and double models. Contact World Petroleum Supply Sales for special configurations. This manual provides the installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for standard manual lock LXT BOP models with manual lock operators. The manual lock operators are used to close the ram assemblies on the drill pipe and close off the well bore. The manual lock operators require a hydraulic closing pressure of 1,500 psi (103 bar) to accomplish sealing the well bore pressure to the rated working pressure of the preventer. Maximum working pressure for the cylinders is 3,000 psi (206 bar). When the rams are hydraulically closed, the manual lock acme thread locking bolts are rotated clockwise to manually lock the rams in the closed position. National Oilwell Varco (NOV) supplies manual lock LXT BOPs in the sizes shown in the table titled "LXT BOP Available Sizes and Working Pressures" below.
