Washpipe 7
General Description
Washpipe Assembly
The washpipe assembly is located between the main shaft and the gooseneck (S-pipe)
on the TDS/IDS, supported by a bonnet. The washpipe assembly allows for the rotation
of the TSD/IDS drilling string. Two types of washpipe assemblies are available: standard
and hammerless.
8 Varco
General Description
Special Tools
The standard washpipe assembly has hammer nuts on its washpipe nut and packing
box. The hammer nuts are provided so that a special wrench and a hammer can be
used to tighten to washpipe nut and packing box during installation.
The hammerless washpipe assembly uses gear nuts which are tightened more precisely
without a hammer but with a special torque wrench kit. This feature makes the unit
easier to install by allowing the unit to swing in and out of its support bonnet before being
torqued and does not require the use of a hammer.

Installation problems The proper installation sequence allows
the packing and washpipe to align to each
other, and ensures that both the
washpipe nut and the packing box
engage their pilots. Follow proper
installation procedures (refer to the Initial
Installation Procedure).
Premature failure due to Nut not torqued Improper torque prevents metal-to-metal
flanged packing contact between the flat surfaces of the
spacers. When pressure is applied, it will
extrude the packing between the spacers.
Follow proper torquing procedures as
described in the Initial Installation
Procedure.
Too mush grease during Too much grease prevents metal-to-metal
assembly of the unit contact between the flat surfaces of the
spacers during operation. The grease can
sustain a hydrostatic pressure that resists
torque during the installation.
During operation the grease gradually

leaks out resulting in loosening of the
packing box. Follow proper greasing
procedure during reassembly and check
for proper spacer contact during
installation (refer to the Initial Installation
Procedure).

improper grease.
RPM, pressure and mud Friction between the seals and the
temperature too high washpipe create heat. TDS/IDS rpm and
standpipe pressure contribute equally to
the amount of heat generated. If
pressure of rpm is increased, so is the
amount of heat generated. Heat
generation goes up with the square of the
bore size. Mud is what cools the system.
The hotter the mud, the less cooling it
provides. The greater the amount of heat
generated is relative to the amount of
cooling the mud will provide, the hotter
the seals run. As the seals run hotter, the
wear resistance of the rubber drops. If
using a large-bore washpipe, convert to a
small-bore washpipe.
Packing extruding Spacers too flat If the spaces are not flat, then metal-to-
between spacers metal contact cannot be maintained even
when they are bottomed out against each
other. The resulting small gaps will allow
the packing to extrude into these areas.
Follow instructions outlined in the
Inspection Procedures.

Blue spacers Improper torque or grease Improper torque on the nut can lead to

Washpipe Assembly Alignment
Satisfactory packing life depends on good washpipe alignment. Use the following
procedure to check sleeve-to-gooseneck support alignment:
1. Attach an indicator base to the gooseneck support and place the indicator at the
top of the sleeve.
2. Raise and lower the sleeve and record the total indicator reading.
3. Attach a magnetic indicator base or an improvised holding fixture to the sleeve or
packing box.
4. Rotate the sleeve 360° and record the TIR.
Washpipe Assembly Tolerances
Use the following procedure to check washpipe assembly tolerances:
1. Shim the gooseneck support to obtain a required bearing clearance of 0.001 to
0.003 inch.
2. Check the clearance by raising and lowering the sleeve. The maximum allowable
misalignment at the gooseneck support bore is 0.008 inch TIR. The maximum
allowable misalignment at the gooseneck pilot is 0.010 inch TIR. The maximum
allowable misalignment after complete assembly of the washpipe assembly is
0.010 inch TIR.
i
Inspection may indicate misalignment exceeding
recommended limits. The packing box assemblies are
designed to accommodate misalignment of the sleeve to
the gooseneck and can operate with some excessive
misalignment. However, to achieve maximum packing life,
maintain the misalignment at the washpipe within the
recommended limits.

Installation problems The proper installation sequence allows
the packing and washpipe to align to each
other, and ensures that both the
washpipe nut and the packing box
engage their pilots. Follow proper
installation procedures (refer to the Initial
Installation Procedure).
Premature failure due to Nut not torqued Improper torque prevents metal-to-metal
flanged packing contact between the flat surfaces of the
Procedure.
Too mush grease during Too much grease prevents metal-to-metal
assembly of the unit contact between the flat surfaces of the
spacers during operation. The grease can
sustain a hydrostatic pressure that resists
torque during the installation.
During operation the grease gradually

leaks out resulting in loosening of the
packing box. Follow proper greasing
procedure during reassembly and check
for proper spacer contact during
installation (refer to the Initial Installation
Procedure).

improper grease.
RPM, pressure and mud Friction between the seals and the
temperature too high washpipe create heat. TDS/IDS rpm and
standpipe pressure contribute equally to
the amount of heat generated. If
pressure of rpm is increased, so is the
amount of heat generated. Heat
generation goes up with the square of the
bore size. Mud is what cools the system.
The hotter the mud, the less cooling it
provides. The greater the amount of heat
generated is relative to the amount of
cooling the mud will provide, the hotter
the seals run. As the seals run hotter, the
wear resistance of the rubber drops. If
using a large-bore washpipe, convert to a
small-bore washpipe.
Packing extruding Spacers too flat If the spaces are not flat, then metal-to-
between spacers metal contact cannot be maintained even
when they are bottomed out against each
other. The resulting small gaps will allow
the packing to extrude into these areas.
Follow instructions outlined in the
Inspection Procedures.
Nut not torqued Improper torque prevents metal-to-metal
contact between the flat surfaces of the
Procedure.
Blue spacers Improper torque or grease Improper torque on the nut can lead to
on the OD of the spacers situations where the lower and middle
spacers spin the packing box. The
resulting heat achieves temperatures
high enough to turn the spacers blue.
Unable to maintain torque Improper assembly or 1. Remove washpipe assembly from

2. Disassemble the washpipe assembly,
setting aside the packing seals for the
lower, middle, and upper spacers.
3. Reassemble the washpipe assembly

Troubleshooting

a. Install the packing box onto the TDS/
IDS main shaft. Tighten until spacers are
firmly held.
b. Install the holding ring into the
washpipe nut and install washpipe nut
onto the TDS/IDS goosneck until the
holding ring is firmly in place.
c. Using a dial indicator, measure and
record the distance between the flat
surfaces on the washpipe nut and the
packing box. Also for future use, mark the
location where the measurement is taken.
NOTE
To ensure that the washpipe assembly
has been sufficient tightened, measure
the distance with each subsequent
installation of the washpipe assembly.
