TRAVELING BLOCK The hoisting system consists of the substructure, the derrick or mast, the drawworks (hoist), the crown block, the traveling block and hook, and the drilling line (wire rope). The drawworks is essentially a large winch HOOK that spools off or takes in the drilling line, which lowers or raises the drill stem and drill bit. It also raises or lowers the derrick while setting up or tearing down. The Cathead, which is a concave, rotating, pulley-type device mounted on the SWIVEL drawworks, is used to lift or pull equipment around a rig. It is usually the largest, most expensive piece of equipment on a rotary rig. The drawworks brake system enables Traveling Block the driller to control tons of drill pipe or & Hook casing. The main brake is mechanical and can bring the load to full stop. The auxiliary brake is hydraulic and can control the speed of a loaded traveling block, but cannot bring it to a complete stop. The crown block, traveling block, and the drilling line support the load of pipe in the derrick as the pipe is lowered into or withdrawn from the hole. The Crown Block is a stationary set of large sheaves that can be 5 feet in diameter or larger and are mounted in the top of the derrick. They transfer the weight of the drill string from the drawworks through the drilling line and then to the derrick. Wire rope suspends the traveling block from several sheaves to the stationary crown block. This allows the Drawworks traveling block to be raised and lowered BEARING GREASE in the derrick as drilling progresses. SHAFT FITTING API CERTIFIED SHEAVES Attached to the traveling block is a spring, API CERTIFIED which acts as a shock absorber, and a SHEAVES large hook. The hook can be attached to a cylindrical steel bar, or “bail,” which supports the swivel or the top drive. products used: Sprockets, Gears, Sheaves, Bushings, Couplings.

Industrial Hand Tools & Custom Forgings Tool and Forge is a leading supplier of quality industrial hand tools and forged products used throughout the oil field industry. The forging process enables production of parts with high impact strength and structural integrity. Forging can produce complex shapes that otherwise may require multiple manufacturing processes. Forged parts are compatible with most secondary operations such as heat treating, machining and fabrication. In many cases one forged part can be created where multiple parts were originally used, reducing labor cost.

  • Pennsylvania
    Spring 1991 $1.50 Pennsylvania • The Keystone States Official Boating Magazine Viewpoint Recently we received a letter suggesting that we were being contradictory in Boat Pennsylvania. According to one reader, we suggested that boaters wear personal flota- tion devices, but that the magazine photographs don't always show their use. Obtaining photographs for a magazine can be a difficult proposition. Sometimes we stage situations and take the photographs ourselves. More often, we rely on photographs submitted by contributors. Photos that depict the general boating public often do not show people wearing PFDs simply because the incidence of wearing them is so low. If we were to say that we would only use photos that showed boaters wearing PFDs, we would have a difficult time fmding acceptable photos. Generally, we try to show people wearing PFDs in small boats in situations in which devices should obviously be worn. On large boats, people most often do not wear their PFDs. Should people wear PFDs? Statistics show that wearing a PFD can save your life. Are PFDs needed all the time? Because accidents happen when they are least expected, wearing a PFD all the time is a good idea. Practically, however, as comfortable as the newest PFDs are, they can be excruciating on a hot July day. Many boaters also want to get a little sun. We accept this and our statistics show that the chances of having an accident where a PFD would have been a factor are much lower in the summer months. Ofcourse, circumstances do exist in which wearing a PFD,even on the hottest day, is warranted.

  • Boat Hull Hydrodynamics
    Part I Boat Hull Hydrodynamics Introduction and Background Planing craft, particularly in the extensive worldwide boating industry, are the vastly dominant water craft type. “Planing” of a water craft occurs on accelerating to a sufficiently high speed. When such speed is initiated from rest in calm water, the hull bow angle is forced to increase upward, thereby increasing the angle of incidence of the boat bottom relative to the water surface. This incidence angle, interacting with the increasing boat speed, produces increased dynamic pressure on the boat bottom, which lifts the boat progressively further upward in elevation toward the level of the water surface. There is normally some overshoot: on reaching the level of the surface. The trim angle then decreases back toward equilibrium, with perhaps some oscillation, as the boat settles-in to steady planing on the calm water surface. Decisions required in the rational design of planing craft, particularly with regard to two aspects, are particularly difficult to conclude with precision: these aspects are planing speed and seaway motions (slamming). High speed and low seaway dynamics are the primary attributes sought in any new planing craft design undertaking, but they are conflicting. The characteristic most needed for low resistance, and consequently, high speed, is the weight located aft toward the stern of the boat. But weight aft tends to result in high impact acceleration when traversing waves. Further, weight aft can lead to “porpoising” instability, which is an oscillatory pitch motion in calm water accompanied by slamming oscillation. Conversely, weight forward results in reduced bow impact acceleration in waves, but also gives a long waterline, imposing higher resistance, and therefore reduced speed.
