GENERAL OVERVIEW
Shaffer ram BOPs offer field-proven reliability in sealing around drill pipe and across open
hole and for shearing drill pipe.

Minimum maintenance space is required. Shaffer rams have a low overall height
compared with other ram preventers.
Single, double and triple cavity models are available for working pressures of 5000,
10000, and 15000 psi. The double and triple models save space and weight by
combining two or three ram compartments into one unitized body.
Lock options include Poslock, Ultralock, and Manual-Lock systems.
Full environmental H2S trim, conforming to API and NACE requirements, is
available.
Self-draining body has a ram cavity with skids to support the rams and a sloped
bottom which allows mud and sand to drain back into the well bore. This keeps the
ram cavity free of caked mud and debris.
Ram rubbers have a long life in routine drilling operations and in stripping.
Ram can be changed easily without breaking or remaking hydraulic connections,
even with pipe in the hole.
Single piston hydraulic operators have a minimum number of working parts. This
assures high reliability and low maintenance.
Flanged, hubbed or studded connections are available for end connections and side
outlets of most models.
