Service Manual for Shock Tools 27 October 2010

SECTION 1

1. GENERAL SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

For best results when servicing drilling tools, a properly equipped service shop should be used
when available.

To safely and effectively break and accurately re-torque drilling tool connections, a National
Oilwell Varco TorqueMaster breakout machine should be used. Avoid the use of “Vise and Tong”
type breakout units, since side forces imposed by this type of equipment can cause damaged
parts and inaccurate torque values.

To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of drilling tools, the National Oilwell Varco Service Vise
is recommended. This vise can safely secure and support drilling tools from one end, to allow
removing and replacing of parts during service.

Wet Fluorescent Magnetic Particle inspection equipment should be available to check for possible
crack formation.

A light coating of oil should be applied to all parts and seals to provide initial lubrication during
assembly.

All threaded connections should be coated with a quality thread compound meeting A.P.I. Spec.
7, Appendix F, “Recommended Thread Compounds for Rotary Shouldered Connections”.

All threads should be torqued to the recommended values (see Service Specifications — Section
7).

SECTION 3

3. DISASSEMBLY

3.1  Caution: Filler plugs may be under pressure. Before beginning disassembly follow these
steps to safely remove the plugs and relieve any trapped pressure that may be present:

3.1.1  Place an oil catch tray under the tool

3.1.2  Ensure that the tool is oriented so that if the plug being removed were to “let go” it
would do so in a safe direction (e.g. towards the floor)

3.1.3  Loosen the plug a maximum of one turn at a time and allow any pressure to bleed off
before complete removal. Failure to do so can result in injury to personnel

3.1.4  If plugs are difficult to remove, refer to Section 7.5 – Cause and Prevention of Cracked
Pipe Plug Holes

3.1.5  Repeat all steps for the remaining plugs

3.2  Remove bottom sub (#6). On Series 157, remove thread seal ring (#13) if equipped.

3.4  Remove ported plugs (#54) and plungers (#15) from bottom sub using a socket head cap-
screw.

3.5  Note: The bottom sub is equipped with a removable seal cartridge (#14). This cartridge may
be changed when worn, along with O-rings (#39 & 40).

Remove the seal cartridge as described below and shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2:

While holding onto the steel wire (attached to the nubbin), “fish” the nubbin into the seal
cartridge such that it hooks onto the backside of the cartridge.

While holding the nubbin in place with the wire, thread the redi-rod into the nubbin (Series
143 & 113). The Series 157 (11”) is not threaded into the nubbin. A nut is welded to the redi-
rod which is held in place by two plates attached to the nubbin (see Figure 2).

Slide the puller plate over the redi-rod and thread the nut onto the redi-rod. Apply torque to
the nut until the seal cartridge pulls free. If seal cartridge was previously “Loctited”, heat will
be required to break the seal. Heat the seal cartridge evenly to 400°F (200°C) and then pull
the seal cartridge free.

SECTION 4

4. INSPECTION

Record inspection findings on Shock Tool Service Report, GOT 006.

4.1  Inspect all threaded connections, fillets, plug holes or other high stress areas for cracks
using wet fluorescent magnetic particle method ASTM E709, ASME Article 25, or equivalent.
Personnel shall be qualified in accordance with SNTTC- 1A or equivalent. Ultrasonic methods may
also be used in addition to or in place of the magnetic particle method.

Parts with crack indications must be reworked or replaced.

4.2  Rotary shouldered connections should be inspected and repaired in accordance with
Section 12 of A.P.I. Recommended Practice 7G, 15th Ed., January 1, 1995.

4.3  All parts should be inspected for damage, excessive wear or burrs. Minor damage and burrs
may be corrected by hand using files or emery cloth.

4.4  One of the avoidable causes for mud invasion is poor seal gland/groove sealing condition.  In
order to properly inspect a seal gland/groove:

• Look for fluid erosion, burrs, mushroomed lands, and other deformities. Repair if
possible.

• Using a seal pick, fingernail, or other pointed object, feel the entire width of the
groove diameter and depth of the groove walls. If possible repair any steps or
other surface interruptions.

• Replace parts as required.

Note: For wear limits and maximum clearances see Section 7 — Service Specifications.

SECTION 5

5. ASSEMBLY
• Always use new seals and wipers when re-assembling the shock tool. Refer to the
assembly drawing for the proper orientation of seals and wipers.

• Threaded connections and plugs must be torqued to the values listed in Section
7.3 — Recommended Makeup Torques

• Use Shock Tool fluid specified in Section 7.4 — Shock Tool Fluid Specifications

• Record outgoing information on Shock Tool Service Report, GOT 006.

5.1  Series 157: If replacement of end cap (#18) is required, clean the threads thoroughly using
degreaser, install O-ring (#44), apply thread locking compound (“Baker Lok”) and install end cap
into splined housing (#2). (Note that the end cap is a left-hand thread). Torque to recommended
value.

5.2  Install guide bushing (#7), seals (#31), back-up rings (#49) (where required), O-ring (#38),
and wiper (#36) in splined housing.

5.3  Lubricate seals and splines. Slide splined housing on splined mandrel (#1). Push the housing
on just far enough to expose lock ring groove.

5.4  Install lock ring segments (#8) in groove of splined mandrel. Lubricate wear ring (#21) with
oil and slide sleeve (#11) over segments.

5.5  Install spring mandrel (#4) and torque to the specified value.
5.6  Install springs (#17) on spring mandrel orientated as per the assembly drawing. The springs
should be tight against the sleeve (#11) and splined mandrel (#1).

The quantity of springs shown on the parts lists is based on new springs. Due to a possible
relaxation of used springs, it may be necessary to add one additional spring to achieve the
required preload. The end spring may be reversed to sit flush against the next spring in order
to achieve an acceptable preload.

5.7  Spring preload should be ¼” – 1”. It is determined by subtracting A from B as shown on

Figure 3 (Series 113), Figure 4 (Series 143) and Figure 5 (Series 157).

5.8  Series 113: Clean threads and apply low strength locking compound to spring retaining nut
(#9). Screw on until setscrew holes line up. For new spring mandrel installations see Section 7.7

After chrome plating, mandrels should be baked at 375°F ±25°F (190°C ±14°C) for 3 hours to
prevent hydrogen embrittlement.

DO NOT use any process, such as welding or fused type coating, which requires heating the
part above 600°F (315°C).

DO NOT use any coating process which requires machining sharp grooves in the part to aid
the coating adhesion.

Some splined mandrels have a carbide coating in place of the chrome, these mandrels are not
field serviceable.

For chroming dimensions, refer to Section 7.2.3 — Rework and Re-Chrome Dimensions.

7.2.2. Reworking
For rework dimension minimums and maximums as well as guidelines for reworking, refer to
Section 7.2.3.
The O.D.’s and radii should be reworked to eliminate pitting and corrosion. They can be taken
down to the minimums (only if necessary) listed in Section 7.1 — Wear Limits and 7.2.3. Note
that the pipe plug holes should be re-radiused per Section 7.5.2.

For further information regarding approved re-work and/or coating procedures, please contact
National Oilwell – Downhole Tools Engineering Department in Edmonton at (780) 944 - 3929.

7.2.3  Notes

A. Maximum surface finish for ground chrome diameter, C, is 16 inches (0.40 m).
B. When removing cracks and/or pitting from the radius area, observe the following:
1. Remove only the minimum material required to eliminate cracks and/or pitting.
2. Do not machine relief diameter below minimum specified.
3. Maintain radius specified.
4. Shoulder can be moved back to maintain this radius (within limits of 5. below).
5. Part should be scrapped when the 3” (76 mm) minimum length on the splined mandrel
or bottom sub (see figure) is reached.
6. Shot peen radii. The radii should be shot peened per National Oilwell – Downhole Tools
specification PC-004 and EB0000-001; no masking is required. If peening is not available,
cross polishing radii to remove machining marks is acceptable.

7.5  Cause and Prevention of Cracked Pipe Plug Holes

Drilling tools are particularly susceptible to cracks forming around the filler holes. During
drilling operations, the outside surface of a drilling tool is subjected to bending stress, scoring,
work hardening, abrasive wear, and exposure to hydrogen sulfide and other hostile elements.
Additional stress is added as the tapered plug is torqued into the relatively thin outer wall. Some
preventative measures to minimize this problem follow.

7.5.1  Disassembly

To remove plugs, always clean socket in plug thoroughly and use proper fitting hex wrench.

DO NOT use heat, unless the plug cannot be removed using usual methods. Using a small
torch tip, slowly but thoroughly heat plug. Avoid heating the body of the tool.

Allow the plug to cool slowly. DO NOT use water to quench the plug or surrounding area.
Quenching will contribute to cracking of the plug or thread in body.

7.5.2  Inspection

Always check plug area for cracks, using wet fluorescent magnetic particle method. Grind and
buff out shallow cracks and scores.

Ensure there are no sharp corners around the plug holes. If necessary, radius the hole using
a beveled grinding stone on a die grinder. Alternately, use radius tool 1244-B-15 as seen in
Figure 10. To avoid “chatter”, a drill press will be required with the radius tool.

7.5.3  Assembly

Use only new Teflon coated plugs provided by National Oilwell Varco — Downhole Tools.
Never re-use old plugs as they may be distorted or damaged.

Always torque plugs to the recommended value given in Section 7.3 — Recommended
Makeup Torques.

Caution: When using the radius tool 1244-B-15 do not exceed 100 RPM. Exceeding this limit will
damage the tool’s cutting edges.

7.6  Re-Sleeve Procedures for Shock Tool Piston Sleeve

Series 143 and 157

A properly equipped machine shop is required to machine the replacement sleeves.

Replacement sleeves are supplied with finished length and I.D. and with an oversized O.D.

7.6.1  Remove the existing worn sleeve by air-arc or machining.

7.6.2  Machine the I.D. of balancing sub to clean up any damage.
7.6.3  Measure I.D. of balancing sub and record this figure.
7.6.4  Turn the O.D. of the sleeve between live centers or chuck on a spigot plate that fits
close to the sleeve I.D.

Due to the hardness of the sleeve, special inserts are required for machining.
Recommended tools: Carboloy Grade 999 or equal.
The sleeve finished O.D. is the measured I.D. of the balancing sub plus 0.004” to 0.005”
(+0.10 to 0.13 mm).

7.6.5  Heat up balancing sub until it is about .010” (.25 mm) larger than the sleeve O.D.

7.6.6  Install the sleeve until it stops against the internal shoulder in the balancing sub.
DO NOT quench the balancing sub to cool.

7.7  Drilling Instructions for Spring Mandrel Replacement

Series 113

Install spring retainer nut to dimension shown in Figure 11 below and mark center points of

8. STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

8.1  New Tools

New tools are shipped painted. The threaded ends are chem-plated with iron-phosphate and
coated with rust preventative coating. Thread protectors are installed to eliminate mechanical
damage.

Note that before use, the rust preventative coating must be removed using petroleum based
solvent and a stiff bristle brush. A suitable thread compound, meeting A.P.I. Spec. 7, Appendix
F, should be applied prior to make up. The above measures are intended to protect the tools for
a period of 6 months under “normal” outdoor conditions. If storage is to be in areas of adverse
conditions or for extended lengths of time, additional protection may be required.

8.2  All Tools

Tools stored horizontally should be rotated to a new position occasionally to prevent seals from
setting and resultant fluid leakage.

8.3  Elastomer Storage

Elastomeric or rubber parts are prone to aging or deterioration with time. This aging process is
accelerated by exposure to light, ozone, temperature, contamination and stress. Proper storage
will minimize the deterioration and prolong the service life of these items.

The following storage conditions are suggested for maximum life:

• Storage in a dark place protected from light
• Store at 65°F (18°C) if possible. Never exceed 120°F (50°C)
• Avoid contamination with oil, grease or other fluids
• Protect from exposure to air or ozone generating electrical devices
• Store parts in their natural shape, do not hang O-rings on hooks
• Rotate stored inventory on a first come, first used basis

Rubber parts placed in sealed plastic bags, and stored in closed cardboard containers, or plastic
lined paper bags are recommended for optimum storage life.

Prior to use, rubber parts should be inspected for signs of aging. Bend, stretch, or compress each
part and check for cracks.

9.4  Tool Notes

National Oilwell Varco – Downhole Tools normally supplies tools with electroplated hard chrome
sealing surfaces. Since hard chrome is porous by nature, chlorides can attack the underlying base
metal and cause the chrome to lift. Upon request, National Oilwell Varco can supply tools with
alternate surface coatings for extreme corrosion environments.
