OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OPERATION
During normal rig floor operations, with handling tools in “good” condition, slips act as a perfect
wedge to grip the pipe without damage and to transmit the string weight radially through the
bushings and bowls.

Slips used incorrectly or with “worn” equipment can cause considerable damage to the slips,
pipe and bowls. Care must be exercised when operating slips.

1. The string must be stopped completely before setting the slips. If the string is in motion
when the slips are set, the pipe can stretch and bounce causing the slips to be thrown out
of the rotary table or causing deformation in the pipe below the slips.

2. Do not set slips on pipe larger than the slip size. This will not only damage the pipe but also
will crack the slip bodies and possibly drop pieces down hole.

3. Care should be taken that slips are never set on the pipe up-set area or the zip-groove
up-set area on collars. This causes damage to the slip bodies as well as the pipe.

The illustrations on the following page “gripping pipe” demonstrate the damage areas that can
result from the miss-use of slips.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

Clean the inside taper of the insert bowls of any abrasive materials. Lubricate the outside
portion of the bowls or master bushing and the inside taper of the bowls to prevent the slips
from sticking in the bowls.

DRESSING SLIPS AND BOWLS

The slip back and insert bowl ID should be dressed as well as cleaned to prevent sticking of the
slips. Abrasives in the mud, as well as rotation of the slips, can cause horizontal wear lines on
the mating surfaces.

Dress both of these surfaces using emery cloth in an up and down motion. This will result in the
grain of both mating parts to be in same direction and will greatly reduce friction.
