Determining pipe crushing loads

Procedure
The maximum pipe weight which can be lifted safely with the FMS, equals the critical hook
load of the pipe MINUS the applied power down force.
F = ((Yp x A x K1) - (Phydr x 36.5)) / 2000 [short tons] with:

K1 = (1/ SQRT (1 + R x K2 / L + (R x K2 / L)2 ))

K2 = crushing load factor = 2.6

L = Length of slip contact (inch) = 13 1/4” for FMS-slip

R = Outside radius of pipe (inch)

A = Cross sectional area of pipe (inch2)

Yp = Yield strength of pipe material (psi)
Phydr = Hydraulic supply pressure (psi)

 Operations

4. Starting the operation

Procedure
1. Place FMS in rotary table using the 2 lifting eyes. If applicable, place adapter plate
in rotary table prior to installation of FMS.
2. Check that hinge pin has been reinstalled.
3. Connect all hydraulic equipment and re-check correct functioning of the tool.

!
CAUTION: The FMS must be set before releasing the
elevator slips.

WARNING: The FMS slips are properly set when

pressure has built up to setting value on the pressure
gauge. When the pressure indication on the gauge
stays below the preset value, the slips are either set on
the coupling or not set at all.

5
WARNING: Ensure the top and bottom guides are
installed.

4. When the rotary table and the FMS have to be rotated, always uncouple the quick
disconnects from FMS prior to rotation.

!
CAUTION: Not doing so may cause severe damage to the
FMS.

!
CAUTION: Do not adjust pressure above 1,000 Psi (6,894
KPa) for slip power up force. At 1,000 Psi (6,894 KPa) the
FMS will provide 17,586 Lbs (78,226 N) of upward force to
unset slips. Do not actuate the valve to raise slips until the
casing string weight is fully transferred to the elevator.

Recommendations
1. It is recommended to have the FMS operated by the driller.
2. For smooth operation, it is recommended to slightly lower the casing with the
elevator while setting the FMS slips.
3. For smooth operation, it is recommended to slightly raise the casing with the
elevator while releasing the FMS slips.
4. Never place any equipment on top of the FMS.
5. Before starting operation, remove air from the hydraulic circuit by cycling the slips
fully up and down for at least 3 times.

WARNING: Under no circumstances apply torque to

the pipe/FMS when the pressure down indication is
below the preset value.

FMS 275 5-35

 Operations

WARNING: During operation, ensure the operations

controls for slips up / slips down, can not switch
inadvertently.

!
CAUTION: While running casing with centralizers, it maybe
necessary to open the top plate. When doing so,
immediately reinstall the top plate after the centralizer has
passed.

8. Assemble the levelling beam. It should drop gently over the 2 cylinder rods.

!
CAUTION: If it is necessary to rotate the piston rods to
locate into the leveling beam always rotate clockwise and
without hydraulic pressure in the system. This is to prevent
any failing of the secured piston units.

9. Fit the nuts by hand. Do not torque.

10. With the levelling beam down and without pressure in the system torque the
levelling beam nuts with 550 ft-lbs (745 Nm) and secure them with cotterpins.
11. Assemble the leveling beam pins and fit a slips set.
12. Let the slips engage an appropriate piece of casing pipe.
13. Check easy (dis) assembly of the levelling beam pins with the levelling beam in the
