PROCEDURE:

All personnel must acquaint themselves fully and strictly adhere to all company sites’
HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK REGULATIONS, together with other specific
requirements detailed in this procedure.

All work is to be carried out within either a dedicated test bay area with authorised

with a visible cordoned zone and adequately displayed warning signs detailing the
test type and associated hazards.

The lifting and handling of the equipment must be carried out with extreme caution
and with regard to the safety regulations.

All personnel in contact with the hydraulic fluid must wear suitable protective clothing
and gloves if required; regarding all the necessary precautions detailed on the fluid
data sheets.

All peripheral equipment shall be assembled in a safe manner.

Parts and related drawings shall be reviewed to identify any trapped pressure area.

For work, which includes the use of pressurised fluid, compressed gas and/or
electrical voltage, all necessary suitable and adequate precautions must be taken
prior beginning of work.

All personal working on the equipment must have the required experience, training
and qualifications.

ENSURE THAT NO HYDRAULIC PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO ANY OF THE CONNECTIONS

II BENEFIT:

1) Test stump body :

The test stump body has a same internal preparation regardless of the size and
the thread type. It has a centralizing cone to receive the saver sub. It has one free
vent port .The test port is 1/2”-14 NPT up to 5000 psi working pressure or 1” SF-
1000-CX AUTOCLAVE above 5000 psi working pressure. A fitting adapter can be
used to adapt this port with customer requirements
WARNING: The vent port is closed only when the saver sub is installed to
avoid trapping pressure below saver sub. DO NOT use the thread on vent
port.

2) Saver sub

The saver sub can be used in all test stump bodies which include the typical
internal preparation. The saver sub has a same external profile for all threads. It
has a ring groove on the top face to limit the torque (5000N/m) when the saver sub
is installed in the test stump. On the external profile two O-rings ensure a good
sealing. It can be used as a sacrificial part, when the thread is worn.

 3) Support plate
The support plate can be round, square, rectangular or any other shape with or
without fixation holes. (customer to specify at time of order)

III FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Make sure Test Stump is fully equipped with the stud /nuts fitted.
Screw the saver sub with its mandrel (5000N.m max. Torque) and run down the
assembly through the entire BOP stack.

TYPICAL
ARRANGEMENT

The funnel on the test stump helps centralizing during final installation of the saver sub.
Rotate ¼ turn anticlockwise to lock the saver sub on to the test stump assy.

Operator can proceed with the test of pipe ram packer and bottom connections. Close
the pipe ram around the test mandrel then apply test pressure thru the test port on the
test stump and/or Choke and Kill lines.

After test of pipe ram packer is complete, bleed the pressure to zero.
Then open the pipe ram and unscrew the mandrel, the saver sub remains in the test
stump housing.

Operator can proceed with the test of shear ram packer. Close the shear ram then apply
test pressure thru the test port on the test stump and/or Choke and Kill lines.

After test of shear rams packer bleed the pressure.

Then open the shear rams and screw the mandrel on the saver sub, the saver sub is
unlocked in the test stump housing. Once the mandrel contacts the saver sub the last
1/4 turn unlocks the sub from test stump.

IV ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1) Equipment Preparation Prior to Assembly

The work area should be clean and well lighted.
1) Remove all dirt, grit, oil, from ring grooves and inner surfaces of the Body.
Clean detergent and fresh water should be used for cleaning. High pressure
air may also be used if it is dry air.

2) The back face and the mating face of the hub or flange must be free of
galling, dents, upset, or raised edges. Damage in these areas may prevent
proper makeup of the joint, use magnetic particle examination if necessary, in
case of defect call your nearest Cameron representative.

3) Sealed elastomer containers should not be opened until they are required for
assembly. This is to prevent contamination and damage to the seals.

 2) Assembly body test stump (1)

1) Screw a nut (4) on stud(3) then install stud through the body test stump
2) Tighten torque another nut (4) on stud (3). (Refer to 1.D. for torque
value).use Molycote greased
3) Install ring gasket in groove.

3) Assembly saver sub (2)

1) Install two o-ring (5) on the saver sub

2) Install o-ring (6) on the saver sub

4) Install saver sub (2) on the Test Stump (1)

1) Install saver sub (2) on test stump (1) prep.

2) Rotate the saver sub (2) ¼ turn anticlockwise to lock it. Saver sub is locked
when position indicator is in front of lock marking.
V DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

1) Inspect the ring groove.

2) Clean the test port.
3) Rotate the saver sub (2) ¼ turn clockwise
4) Remove the saver sub (2) and clean the sealing area (counter bore) in the
body (1). Check and remove the O-rings (5) and (6) on the saver sub if
damaged.
VI STORAGE

1) Flush the test stump saver sub box connection, inspect gasket groove and
back face and the mating face of the hub or flange.

2) Disassemble the test stump. Clean and inspect all parts. Studs, nuts, hub
which have visible cracks, visible worn or deformed threads must be
replaced, in doubt contact your nearest Cameron representative.

3) Flush and inspect the gasket and hub or flange connection, use magnetic
particle examination if necessary in case of defect call your nearest Cameron
representative.

4) Reassemble the test stump. Spray internal surfaces, hub or flange, ring
gasket and components of connector with oil.

5) Install metallic protector on hub or flange connection, and protect test port.
