SAFETY This section describes all safety aspects required when working with NOV ASEP Elmar equipment. The safety aspect can relate to potential equipment damage or to danger to personnel working with this equipment or in the vicinity. Preventing accidents is an objective affecting all company levels and operations. It is therefore a basic requirement that each supervisor makes the safety of all employees an integral part of their regular management function. It is equally the duty of each employee to accept and follow established safety regulations and procedures. Every effort should be made to provide adequate training to employees. However, if an employee is ever in doubt about how to do a job or task safely, they should always ask a qualified person for assistance. Employees are expected to assist management in accident prevention activities. Unsafe conditions must be reported immediately. Fellow employees that need help should be assisted. Every injury that occurs on the job, even a slight cut or strain, must be immediately reported to management and/or the Responsible Safety Officer. Never leave the work site without reporting an injury, except for emergency trips to the hospital.

2.1

2.1.1

Wireline operations During Wireline operations, consider the zone in front of the wireline unit as a danger zone. For safety reasons keep the following points in mind: • This is a constant danger zone • Never step over the wireline • Never allow spectators near the working area • If possible, restrict access to this area with signs and/or bright tape • If the wireline is rigged up but has not run for a period, clamp the wireline, reduce the tension, and “flag” the wire with signs • When the wireline unit is tied down on deck using rope/line/chains, attach a “flag” to the ropes/lines/chains to signal their location • When the wireline operation is finished, shutdown the engine(s) and close all hatches and doors.

2.1.2

Working with open doors and hatches: • While opening/closing hatches and/or doors on the unit, be aware of wind conditions. Hatches and/or doors might forcibly swing open/shut and cause damage or injury. • When open, the hinge side of most doors and hatches can create an extremely hazardous pinch point for fingers, clothing, hoses and cables. Always check the hinge side before closing any door or hatch.

2.1.3

Transport/Installation • When lifting the wireline unit by crane, make sure you cannot get trapped between the load and a wall, fixed object, etc. • If possible, position yourself so that you are visible to the crane operator. If not possible, make sure a flagman can signal the crane operator • Never walk under a hanging load • Make sure that lifting gear is sufficiently dimensioned and certified • Never leave an “operation-ready” unit unattended • Do not operate damaged equipment. This may lead to further damage and/or dangerous situations • Respect and maintain your working environment. Dispose of waste correctly • Keep the unit and connected components clean. Accumulated dirt can hamper unit operations and might jeopardize safety • To prevent accidents, keep all safety guards in position while operating NOV ASEP Elmar equipment • When engaged in maintenance and / or performing checks on the unit: − First consider your safety and that of others − Make sure that the equipment is switched off completely and use a decal or similar to prevent un authorized starting during maintenance or check up

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

4.1

MP16II The MP16II is a combined depth and tension measuring head, that supplies analogue and/or digital signals to a display device in a wireline winch cabin. The MP16II is mainly intended for slickline and light braided or monoconductor wireline operations, and can be used with a wide range of wireline sizes with only very minor modification. Furthermore, the design of the MP16II enables the user to thread the head without using any tools, and without needing to remove the rope socket or attached wireline tools. Please refer to the specifications for a comprehensive overview of the features, dimensions and capabilities of the MP16II. Working principle See Figure 4.1. levelwind carriage on levelwind shaft

Figure 4.1 Measuring head working principle The frame of the MP16II comprises an upper and lower section, hinged together at the drum side. The wireline passes from the drum over a wheel in the upper subframe of the MP16II, down around a wheel in the lower subframe and up and over a second wheel in the upper subframe, from where it exits to the wellhead. The tension in the wireline draws the wheels towards each other in the hinged subframes. This movement compresses a load cell at the well side between the two subframes, causing the

pressure to rise in the sealed, static load cell hydraulic circuit. This pressure is translated into line tension in the analogue gauge. On winch units with digital tension display, an optional pressure transducer in the pressure circuit transmits a digital signal to the control system and/or display. The optional presure transducer is mounted either directly on the measuring head or in the winch control panel. Inhole or outhole movement of the wireline causes the three wheels in the MP16II to turn: two in the upper subframe, which are both freewheeling, and one in the lower subframe, which is the measuring wheel. A rotary cable transmission from the measuring wheel shaft causes an odometer to turn in the winch control panel. Between the measuring wheel shaft and the odometer, two angle drives and an optional single or dual-output (drive splitter) gearbox transforms shaft rotations into odometer cable rotations corresponding to depth units. Optionally, an optical encoder can also be fitted to the opposite end of the measuring wheel shaft to enable digital depth signals to be transferred to an automated control system. See the appendices to this manual for a detailed description on how drive components are combined for specific wireline sizes. Design and structure

4 Functional Description

The frame and subframes are constructed of corrosion-resistant coated plate aluminium for maximum strength with minimum weight. The two upper wheels and the (lower) measuring wheel are of composite material. The MP16II is equipped with vertical wireline guide rollers at each side where the wireline enters or leaves the top of the upper wheels. A synthetic wireline retainer keeps the wire in the grooves of the upper wheels, and spring-loaded pressure wheels press the wire tightly into the groove of the measuring wheel on the underside to eliminate slip of the wire against the measuring wheel. The MP16II is designed to be suspended from a levelwind shaft by a slider bearing in the levelwind carriage, which is the top part of the upper subframe. To keep the MP16II stable during varying tension, a guide wheel near the hinge of the upper subframe runs in a transverse rail attached to the winch or levelwind arms. During transport, the measuring head is anchored to one side of the winch frame by the transport lock. Autospooling Lateral forces can optionally be detected by electronic deflection sensors mounted on the drum side rollers. When one of the rollers is deflected, the sensors indicate the pressure applied by the wireline as it moves along the axis of the winch drum during spooling. The winch control system reacts to these lateral deflection signals by actuating a sideways movement of the MP16II, thus relieving the lateral force until the wireline moves further. The effect is that the head continuously moves a small amount left or right as the wireline ‘creeps’ along the drum, so that successive windings in each layer of the wireline on the drum fall into the valleys of the previous layer, ensuring constant tension, even layer buildup, and minimum wear and deformation of the wireline. Wireline lubrication An optional wireline oiler can be mounted on the MP16II to keep the wireline lubricated as it passes between the measuring wheel and upper wheels. The drip rate is adjustable. NOTE: A detailed description of how to combine drive components for specific wireline sizes is provided in Appendix 4: MP16II and CombiGauge depth calculation on page 92.

4.2

CombiGauge The CombiGauge is a hydro-mechanical gauge that displays both wireline depth and tension simultaneously on a single gauge. When used in conjunction with any ASEP Elmar measuring head with an integral hydraulic load cell and a wireline depth measuring wheel with rotary output, this device can display depth and tension with great precision. Depth Depth measurement is recorded on a bidirectional odometer, driven by a rotary drive cable that transmits the rotations of a measuring wheel from the measuring head to the CombiGauge. In the Correlating Depth models, there is an additional depth counter that is synchronized to the main odometer, but can be individually set to record depth changes relative to a set depth. Between the measuring wheel shaft of the measuring head and the drive cable there are additional drive components - an angle drive and optional splitter - that convert the measuring wheel rotations to depth units. The gear ratios in these components are dependent on the measuring wheel diameter and wireline thickness, and convert one depth unit (foot or meter) of wireline travel into the same unit at the CombiGauge. Tension

As the pressure increases, a C-form Bourdon tube inside the CombiGauge is deformed, which in turn deflects the indicator needle. The CombiGauge is in effect a pressure gauge for the load cell. Once calibrated, provided the hydraulic couplings are never opened and the system has no leaks, it will record tension with great accuracy. Controls There are few controls, as this is solely a display device. The CombiGauge has the following standard controls: • Depth zero knob: pull to reset the counter to zero • Wireline tension zero knob: sets the tension needle to zero when the wireline is slack (compensates for temperature-related pressure changes in the system) • Maximum tension setpoint needle: sets the maximum tension for the wireline in use (usually specified as a percentage of the nominal breaking strain). Note that this is solely for operator guidance; in no way does it prevent exceeding the maximum. • Tension system damping valve: use to reduce needle jitter when the wireline tension is subject to rapid changes, for example when moving outhole or inhole at higher speeds. Should never be closed too far, as this can drastically affect the tension accuracy. The Correlating Depth model of the CombiGauge has two additional controls: • Correlating depth zero knob: pull to reset the counter to zero • Correlating depth set knob: rotate to wind the odometer forward or backward.

4 Functional Description

Tension is indicated by the black needle on the large dial of the CombiGauge. Wireline tension at the measuring head compresses a hydraulic load cell in which the pressure rises and falls in direct proportion to the wireline tension. The load cell is connected to hydraulic components in the CombiGauge by a hydraulic hose. This forms a static, fully sealed tension measurement system.

a) Undo the drive cable ring nut and withdraw the drive cable from the splitter output. b) Remove the protective cap from the second output. NOTE: The inputs and outputs of the drive splitter and drive cable are a “tongue in groove” type. These are sensitive connections. Use only the method described below! c) Ensure that the input and output tongues and grooves are clean and lightly lubricated with fresh grease. d) Carefully engage the drive cable input to the correct drive splitter output for the wireline size to be used. e) Firmly tighten the drive cable ring nut, without applying excessive force to the drive splitter. f) Fit the protective cap over the unused output. 6.

Have an assistant monitor the CombiGauge while you perform the next step. The depth counter must register a “depth change”.

7.

Check that the depth measuring system is free of friction by spinning the measuring wheel manually. If it turns smoothly and a depth change is registered on the CombiGauge, then the depth measuring system is working properly. Continue with step 8.

5 Setup & transport

If the measuring wheel does not turn smoothly, or there is no movement at the CombiGauge, try to isolate the problem as follows. a) Detach the depth counter drive cable, and again spin the measuring wheel. If the measuring wheel now turns smoothly and the output tongue of the drive splitter turns, then the problem is in the drive cable or CombiGauge. Isolate the problem further as follows, then continue with step 8. • Detach the drive cable at the CombiGauge. • Insert the blade of a screwdriver in the drive groove at the measuring head end of the drive cable, and spin the screwdriver between your hands. If the cable does not turn smoothly, or there is no movement at the CombiGauge end of the cable, then you must service or replace the drive cable. See related topic. • If the drive cable passes the previous test, attach it again to the CombiGauge, then repeat the “screwdriver” test. If the cable now does not turn smoothly, then the CombiGauge must be replaced or repaired. Contact NOV ASEP Elmar. b) Detach the drive splitter, and again spin the measuring wheel. If the measuring wheel now turns smoothly and the output tongue of the angle drive turns, then the problem is in the drive splitter. Install a new drive splitter, then continue with step 8. See related topic. c) Detach the angle drive, and again spin the measuring wheel. If it now turns smoothly, then the problem is in the angle drive. Install a new angle drive, then continue with step 8. d) If the measuring wheel still does not turn smoothly, then the measuring wheel bearings will need to be serviced or replaced. See related topic. 8.

If necessary, restore the broken connections in the depth counter transmission.

3.

Ensure that there is no wireline installed in the MP16II measuring head.

4.

Pull down on the lower subframe to ensure that the subframe is hanging at the lowest possible position. At this point it will be resting on the lower subframe retainer. The setting of this retainer determines the gap between the upper and lower subframe at the load cell of the tension measurement system.

5.

At the winch control panel: a) Fully open the hydraulic damping valve of the CombiGauge. b) Set the red maximum permitted tension needle on the CombiGauge for the wireline to be used. NOTE:

6.

The maximum permitted tension is a customer-determined percentage, e.g. 60%, of the vendor-specified breaking strain for the wireline product in use. ASEP Elmar does not specify this value.

Inspect the tension measurement system for the three critical distances. If you are not familiar with the correct operating state, perform a comprehensive check. See related topic. • subframe separation = distance between load cell base plate (above) and lower subframe (below). MAXIMUM 40 mm. • piston extension = exposed length of piston (above) when in contact with lower subframe (below). APPROXIMATELY 5-7 mm. • piston/subframe gap = distance between piston (above) and lower subframe (below). MINIMUM 1 mm, MAXIMUM 2 mm.

7.

If necessary, adjust these critical distances. See related topic.

6.2

Special notes on measuring head measurement precision The MP16II measures depth and tension. Both of these measurements depend for their precision on smooth mechanical movement and proper adjustment of the entire measuring head. The maintenance procedures in this section are intended to ensure that this precision is sustained throughout every well servicing job. Failure to properly inspect and maintain the measuring head can lead to errors in the measurement, which in turn can render the well servicing job useless, but can also cause damage to the measuring head, the winch and the wireline, and can even cause permanent damage to or loss of the well. Make sure you read and understand the following important information on the depth and tension measurement features of the MP16II measuring head. Depth measurement

6 Maintenance

The length of wireline passing through the measuring head is measured using the measuring wheel in the lower subframe This measuring wheel is connected to a counter. Each rotation of the measuring wheel will add or subtract a digit from the displayed counter value, depending on the spooling direction: inhole or outhole. (Unlike a car odometer, this system works in reverse as well as forward). The precision of the depth measurement depends on there being no slip whatsoever between the wireline contact with the measuring wheel and the analogue and/or digital depth recording device. It is possible to have both analogue and digital recording. With analogue recording, there is a mechanical transmission between the measuring wheel shaft and the analogue display, the CombiGauge. With digital recording, an encoder on the measuring wheel shaft supplies a counter signal to a digital control system, e.g. ASEP Elmar SmartMonitor. Failure to record depth precisely can be caused by: • Slip between the wireline and the measuring wheel, caused by resistance in the upper wheels, the measuring wheel, the angle drive, the drive splitter, the drive cable or the CombiGauge; this will affect both analogue and digital depth measurement. • Slip between the wireline and the measuring wheel caused by lack of tension in the wireline and an oily contact between the wireline and the measuring wheel; this will affect both analogue and digital depth measurement. • Lost revolutions in the transmission between the measuring wheel and the CombiGauge due to a defect component, e.g. angle drive, drive splitter, drive cable or CombiGauge; this will affect only the analogue measurement. • A loose or faulty connection between the measuring wheel shaft and the depth encoder; this will affect only the digital measurement. • Excessive wear in the measuring wheel, resulting in the diameter falling below the precision tolerance; this will affect both analogue and digital depth measurement. Take account of these potential problems, and follow all rig-up, inspection and maintenance procedures exactly as described in this manual. Tension measurement The tension on the wireline is measured using the load cell at the well side of the MP16II measuring head. The loop of wireline wrapped around the upper and lower wheels attempts to close when tension is applied, compressing the load cell. The load cell is a sealed, static hydraulic system connected to a digital and/or analogue recording device. With analogue recording, there is a hydraulic line between the load cell and the analogue

MP16 User Manual

display, the CombiGauge. With digital recording, a transducer hydraulically connected to the load cell supplies a digital pressure signal to a digital control system, e.g. ASEP Elmar SmartMonitor. Failure to record tension precisely (causing both anodal and digital recording to register a tension that is too low) can be caused by: • Air trapped in the hydraulic system. • Leakage from any point in the hydraulic system, e.g. the load cell, lines and hoses, or the CombiGauge. • Incorrectly zeroed system, i.e. there is not full separation between the piston of the load cell and the lower subframe when the wireline is not under tension. • Load cell body interference with the lower subframe, i.e. the piston becomes fully compressed into the body of the load cell due to insufficient fluid in the system. • CombiGauge not correctly calibrated. This maintenance section contains specific procedures to prevent and correct all of these problems.

6.3

Special notes on cleaning and lubrication of the measuring head

• Never use a solvent or a high pressure cleaning tool to clean the complete measuring head assembly. This can cause severe damage to the bearings within the measuring head. • To prevent bearing oxidation, a thin layer of grease must be periodically applied to the sides of all bearings and all exposed steel parts. • Not all measuring head bearings can be lubricated using a regular high pressure grease gun. In some cases, this can cause the seals to be ejected from the bearings, giving access to moisture, dust and grit. All grease nipples of the concave type should be

6 Maintenance

The MP16II is a highly sensitive instrument which is designed for use in a rough, dirty working environment. However, to ensure reliable depth and tension measurements and a long and trouble free working life, it is important to take special care when cleaning and lubricating the MP16II.

MP16 User Manual

greased using a special type of grease gun. See Figure 6.1.

Figure 6.1 Recommended grease gun For proper MP16II functioning, the bearings must be lubricated using a high quality grease. During manufacturing of the MP16II, the bearings are lubricated with sufficient grease to ensure correct MP16II operation until the next complete overhaul of the measuring head. 6 Maintenance

However, if for any reason re-lubrication is required (e.g. cleaning with a high pressure tool, extreme contamination), MP16II bearings and contact surfaces can be lubricated using the grease nipples fitted to all moving parts. NOTE: If a bearing is in any way damaged during transport, operations or maintenance, it is recommended to replace the damaged part, and not to attempt repair. For the MP16II to provide precise and dependable measurements, it is essential that all rotating parts can revolve freely, and there must not be the slightest risk of a pulley or wheel jamming, even momentarily.

6.4

Safe maintenance shutdown Related topics: • Wireline winch shutdown (see winch documentation)

WARNING MOVING PARTS Moving parts (drum, chain, levelwind, brake, etc.) can cause serious injury or death. Make sure the winch cannot be operated during maintenance or rig-up activity.

Before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance to the MP16II, it is essential to ensure that the wireline winch unit is fully shut down, the winch drum brake is applied (and not under tension), and that there is no residual energy in the hydraulic or pneumatic system. Proceed as follows to shutdown the winch for safe maintenance. 1.

Complete the well servicing operation, and spool all wire onto the drum.

NOTE: If it is necessary to perform maintenance with the wire inhole, then you must apply the brake and clamp the wire to a rigid structure, such that the wire is relieved of all tension, and no incident in the hole or BOP can cause the wire to come under tension.

The levelwind carriage is supported on the levelwind shaft, which is mounted in the levelwind support arms of the winch. To enable the measuring head to move smoothly along (and around) the levelwind shaft, there is a support bearing installed in the levelwind carriage. This is mainly a slide bearing designed for smooth lateral movement. It is important that this bearing continues to perform perfectly. Routine daily maintenance is: • Wipe the levelwind shaft clean using a clean cloth; • Wipe the sides of the support bearing clean; • Lightly grease the shaft; • If necessary, inject a little grease into the bearing via the grease nipple (using only the special grease gun),

6 Maintenance

At regular intervals (see maintenance schedule), the bearing should be completely serviced. This entails removal and cleaning of the bearing. Proceed as follows.

Check/adjust autospooling Related topics: • 6.4 Safe maintenance shutdown on page 38 Introduction Autospooling is an automatic repositioning of the measuring head during outhole or inhole spooling, ensuring the straightest possible path from the drum to the hay pulley for greatest measurement precision, and smooth buildup of wireline wraps on the drum during outhole spooling. It also leaves the operator’s hands free for drum control and other activities when spooling over large distances in safe depth zones. Correct autospooling depends on the adjustment of the lateral deflection sensors on the drum side of the measuring head. The deflection sensors are tripped by pressure of the moving wireline against the left or right side rear guide rollers. The sensitivity on each side is independently adjusted. Note that the sensitivity of autospooling is influenced by several factors:

6 Maintenance

• Wireline tension: wire under high tension will trip a sensor more quickly than wire under low tension. • Levelwind chain tension: ensure that this is correctly adjusted. When the chain is too slack, the response when changing direction (at the sides of the drum) will be slower. • Wire gauge: a thicker wire is less flexible, and will trip the sensor more quickly than a thinner wire. • Wire path from drum to upper guide wheel: when the drum is fully loaded, the wire will enter the rollers high up. When the drum is almost unloaded, the wire will enter the rollers low down. The lever effect means the sensors are tripped more quickly when the wire is high up (drum full) than when the wire is low down (drum empty). • Levelwind assembly type: This depends on the winch model. On winches with the ability to raise and lower the measuring head, the wireline path can sometimes be adjusted to maintain a constant point of contact with the rear guide rollers. This has the advantage that the operator can compensate for the changing wire path as the wire is spooled further on or off. There are several types of autospooling assembly in use on the MPxx series of measuring heads. Autospooling is an option that is not present on every measuring head. Before continuing with this procedure, verify whether autospooling is present, and if so, what type. Inspect the rear (drum side) guide rollers of your MP16II measuring head. • If the guide rollers have a movable mounting with sensors (electric or pneumatic), then your measuring head has autospooling. If not, then you should skip this procedure, there is nothing to adjust. • If the assembly is identical to that in Figure 6.5 on page 47, then you can continue with the check/adjust procedure instructions below. • If you have an autospooling assembly of a different type, then please contact NOV ASEP Elmar for advice.

NOTE: On this autospooling assembly, the levelwind movement is triggered by the lateral deflection sensor on the opposite side, i.e. for levelwind movement left, you must adjust the sensor on the right, and vice versa. Proceed as follows to check the settings, and adjust if necessary. Refer to Figure 6.5.

Check autospooling 1.

Make the winch operational.

2.

Ensure that the MP16II is in operational state and positioned roughly opposite the centre of the drum.

3.

If there is no wireline in the measuring head, thread the measuring head with wireline.

4.

Clamp the wireline firmly to a rigid structure in front of the winch.

5.

Apply approximately 200 kg (440 lb) of tension to the wireline.

6.

Select autospooling mode at the winch control panel.

7.

Apply the winch brake.

WARNING MOVING PARTS Moving parts (drum, chain, levelwind, brake, etc.) can cause serious injury or death. Make sure the winch cannot be operated during maintenance or rig-up activity.

8.

Take steps to ensure that the winch cannot be operated, e.g. have all personnel leave the cabin, and lock the cabin door.

9.

Take up a safe position beside the MP16II.

6 Maintenance

Do not stand between the drum and the measuring head! 10. At the drum side of the measuring head, push the wireline to one side of the wireline path (left or right). This should cause the autospooling system to activate the levelwind motor, so that the complete MP16II moves one wireline thickness to the left or right, depending on the side that was pressed. Repeat the test in the opposite direction. 11. If the autospooling behaves normally, then the lateral deflection sensor adjustment is in order. Leave the winch bay, and restore the winch unit to normal operating state. 12. If the autospooling movement is excessive or insufficient on either side, adjust the sensitivity as described below. Adjust autospooling NOTE: Referring to the list of factors that can influence the sensitivity of autospooling (see Introduction above), take account of your expected use, and try to adjust the autospooling for the situation when you will make the most use of autospooling. Adjust one side as follows. The instructions apply to both the left and right side. 13. Ensure that: • the winch is running; • the drum brake is applied; • autospooling is OFF; • the winch drum cannot be operated inadvertently.

14. Inspect the sensor position. The inner side of the sensor should lie approximately on the 4th line on the scale (from the centreline). 15. If the sensor is in the wrong position, loosen the two sensor mounting screws just enough to move the sensor in the slot until it is aligned to the 4th line. 16. Tighten the inner screw a little to prevent the sensor from moving sideways in the slot. 17. Rotate the sensor around the inner screw to set the plunger of the sensor against the cam. Some limited up/down movement is possible at the outside ends of the slot. 18. Manually deflect the guide rollers and watch the sensor plunger closely. It must not “bottom out” in the switch body. In time, this will destroy the switch. 19. Tighten the outer screw a little so that it holds its position. 20. At the winch control panel, select autospooling. 21. Repeat the autospooling check for the side you have adjusted. 22. If you need to readjust, repeat from step 13. 23. When the adjustment seems about right, firmly tighten both sensor mounting screws. 24. Repeat from step 1 for the sensor on the other side (if necessary).

26. Restore the winch to normal operating state.

3.

Using an internal calliper and a feeler gauge, check the following three critical distances at the load cell of the non-loaded MP16II tension measurement system. See Figure 6.15. A: subframe separation = distance between load cell base plate (above) and lower subframe (below). MAXIMUM 40 mm. B: piston extension = exposed length of piston (above) when in contact with lower subframe (below). APPROXIMATELY 5-7 mm. C: piston/subframe gap = distance between piston (above) and lower subframe (below). MINIMUM 1 mm, MAXIMUM 2 mm. Measure approximately using a 1 to 2 mm feeler gauge or a piece of card of about 1.5 mm thickness. Explanation: • There must always be a minimum gap (C) between the extended piston and the lower subframe of 1 to 2 mm to make certain that the tension system always reads zero when there is no tension on the wireline. In that situation, the weight of the lower subframe will cause it to drop down against the retainer. • The piston extension (B) is necessary to ensure that the load cell body can never interfere with the tension measurement.by contacting the lower subframe. It is however important that there is no air in the load cell hydraulic circuit, otherwise the piston extension will not be sufficient to prevent interference.

6 Maintenance

• The subframe separation (A) is a way to help set the normal, unloaded position of the subframe at the subframe retainer. 4.

If the distances are not correct, adjust the distances as follows.

NOTE: The measured distances can be significantly affected when the ambient temperature varies greatly. In particular, expansion of the hydraulic fluid can affect the piston extension. When temperatures vary greatly, routinely check that the settings are still in order. 5.

First adjust distance B: a) To decrease the piston extension, drain excess fluid from the hydraulic tension measurement system. See related topic. b) To increase the piston travel, add fluid to the tension measurement system as described in the procedure for fill and bleed of the hydraulic tension measurement system. See related topic.

6.

Second, adjust distance A and C: a) If you have adjusted distance B, first check whether A still needs adjustment. b) Place a piece of card or a feeler gauge (1 - 2 mm) between the piston and the subframe. c) Loosen the locknut in the lower subframe retainer bolt, and turn the bolt clockwise (to reduce the distance) or counter-clockwise (to increase the distance) until the piston touches the card or feeler gauge. d) Loosen the bolt slightly and remove the card or feeler gauge. e) Tighten the locknut, and check the distances again.

NOTE: The CombiGauge is preset at the factory to provide a full scale deflection at 25, 30, 40, 45 or 60 bar (scale dependent). This corresponds to the 360 degrees of travel of the CombiGauge scale. Recalibration of this setting is not a recommended field maintenance activity, and should only be undertaken by personnel trained and familiar with fine mechanical instrumentation. Incorrect handling of the CombiGauge will result in instrument damage necessitating factory repair and recalibration. NOTE: This procedure requires the use of an auxiliary reliable and precise tension measurement device with sufficient range to match that of the MP16II and the installed CombiGauge. Use either a second wireline winch with accurate tension measurement, or a special purpose tool such as the NOV ASEP Elmar Tension Calibration Tool. NOTE: This procedure requires at least two people. One person must control the tension on the auxiliary tension measurement device, while the other adjusts the CombiGauge.

6.19.1 Rig-up the measuring head to check tension 1.

Before commencing, and during this procedure: • Ensure that the operating area is adequately marked and cordoned off. • Do not allow anyone to cross, approach, or stand in the path of any wireline under tension.

• Do not use wireline of inferior or substandard condition. • Agree with the assistant monitoring the line tension as to how to signal when a target tension is reached. 2.

Ensure that the winch is in the following safe state: • The levelwind support arms are in the operating position with the MP16II positioned roughly opposite the centre of the drum. • The winch is in manual mode, if applicable, i.e. the automatic control program (e.g. SmartMonitor) has been disabled.

3.

Prepare the tension measurement system as described in the setup and transport chapter. See related topic.

4.

Rig the measuring head for tension measurement calibration by either of the following methods: • Second winch NOTE: Use only wireline of a breaking strength higher than the maximum range of the CombiGauge. a) Position your winch opposite a second, reliably calibrated winch, with identical wireline to the current rigging of your MP16II

c) Spool several wraps to ensure good attachment, then apply the winch brake. d) Shut down the winch for safe maintenance. See related topic. e) Continue with section 6.19.2, using the controls of the second winch to tension the wireline when instructed. • NOV ASEP Elmar Tension Calibration Tool a) Shut down the winch for safe maintenance. See related topic. b) Rig-up the Tension Calibration Tool. See related topic. c) Continue with section 6.19.2, using the adjustment features of the tool to tension the wireline when instructed.

6.19.2 Check tension measurement 1.

Reduce the wireline tension to zero (the wireline is slack).

2.

Zero the CombiGauge needle for the slack wireline, using the tension zero-set knob.

3.

On a notepad, create a two-column table for the test values for the wireline tension. • The left column is the test tension (indicated on the second winch or calibration tool). • The right column is the value indicated on the CombiGauge. • You will be testing in specific increments up to 90 % of the maximum breaking strength of the wire used during this test. Recommended increments: 0, 25 %, 50 %, 75 %, 90 %. NOTE: Never exceed the maximum tension range on the scale of the CombiGauge!

4.

Obtain a test value at the first increment (25%):

b) Thread the free end of the wireline through your MP16II, and fasten it in a suitable manner to your winch drum.

MP16 User Manual

a) Carefully increase the test tension to the percentage of maximum tension for your CombiGauge. Example: If the maximum range is 1000 kg, apply an approximately 250 kg tension. b) Record the test tension in the left column, and the CombiGauge tension value in the right column. NOTE: Provided the tension measurement hydraulic system is completely free of trapped air, the difference between the CombiGauge value and the test tension must be linear. 5.

Repeat for the remaining increments of the maximum CombiGauge range. NOTE: For a proper CombiGauge calibration the CombiGauge must be tested to a minimum of 90 % of the full-scale deflection. For example: if the CombiGauge has a range of 0 to 2000 kg (8800 lb), the maximum test value should be approximately 1800 kg (7920 lb). Further adjustment of the calibration screw setting will be proportional to the measurement discrepancy.

6.

Evaluate the test results:

6 Maintenance

• If the CombiGauge is showing the correct tension through the full range of test values, then it is correctly calibrated. No further action is required, and the test set-up can be rigged down. The procedure is complete. • If the CombiGauge shows a deviation from the test values (reading too low or too high), then continue with section 6.19.3. NOTE:

If the difference between the CombiGauge and test values is non-linear, the most likely cause is air in the MP16II tension measurement hydraulic system, from the load cell to the CombiGauge. In this case you must bleed the air from the system and re-adjust the critical distances. See related topics.

6.19.3 Calibrate CombiGauge 1.

Establish the model of CombiGauge installed in your winch, referring to the physical description pages of this manual. See related topic. NOTE: The adjustment mechanism is in a different position on the standard CombiGauge and CombiGauge II.

2.

Remove the glass from the CombiGauge as follows. See Figure 6.24. NOTE: Every winch control panel has a different layout. You may need to withdraw the CombiGauge from the winch control panel in order to remove the glass. a) Remove each of the knobs from the face plate and centre of the dial. NOTE: Some of the knobs are held by a nut below the cap on the knob. Use a knife or screwdriver to lift the cap for access to the nut. Take care to keep all parts together! b) Loosen the four (4) screws in the face plate and lift the face plate and glass off the gauge.

3.

Re-fit the tension zero-set knob.

NOTE: The calibration set screw itself does not make the actual adjustment; it simply fastens the adjustment. The actual adjustment is made by shifting the position of the screw in the slot in the linkage. 5.

Adjust the CombiGauge as follows. NOTE: If the calibration set screw is loosened too much in the following step, the link will fall away, and the CombiGauge will have to be disassembled to reassemble the linkage mechanism. a) Slightly loosen the calibration set screw just enough (approximately half a turn) to reduce the grip of the screw in the slot in the linkage. b) Using a very small screwdriver inserted into one side of the slot in the linkage, move the screw a nominal amount (1 mm or 2 mm) in the direction of the required adjustment (towards or away from tension needle shaft), then retighten the calibration set screw. See the table below: to adjust tension value

Repeat the tension measurement check of section 6.19.2, and if necessary adjust the calibration again in the above steps until the tension measurement at the CombiGauge corresponds to the test values on the second winch or tension calibration tool.

6.19.4 Finalize 1.

Ensure that the calibration set screw is firmly tightened.

2.

Reduce the wireline tension to zero (the wireline is slack) and shutdown the winch.

3.

Rig-down the test setup.

6.20.2 Rig-up/rig-down Tension Calibration Tool 1.

Position the levelwind support arms in the operating position with the measuring head positioned roughly opposite the centre of the drum.

2.

Shut down the winch for safe maintenance

3.

Unthread the wireline from the measuring head, and fasten it to the drum.

4.

Prepare the tension measurement system as described in the setup and transport chapter for the wireline winch.

5.

Dismantle the tension calibration tool, and set the components ready for installation, approximately as shown in the exploded diagram in Figure 6.27 on page 80.

6.

Check that all parts are present, and that the load cell and handheld unit batteries have sufficient charge. See 6.20.3 Using the Tension Calibration Tool.

7.

If necessary, reposition the side members of the tool on the levelwind shaft hooks, in order to achieve the straightest possible wireline path from the load cell into the measuring head, and from the measuring head to the piston. To do this, simply unscrew the mounting bolts of the hooks, position the bolt-holes against a different slot, and re-tighten the bolts.

8.

Install the tension measurement tool on the measuring head as shown in Figure 6.29. The following steps correspond to the illustrations in the figure.

6 Maintenance

a) Bring the main frame down over the measuring head from the winch drum side, with the hooks on the top side. b) Lay the frame horizontal, and insert the anchor pins, securing them with the retaining clips. c) Thread the test cable through the measuring head in the usual way. See related topic. Ensure that the long threaded end of the cable is on the well side of the measuring head. d) Mount the piston subframe onto the ends of the main frame, and fasten it with the retaining clips. e) Mount the load cell in the main frame at the winch drum end, using the anchor pin and retaining clip. Insert the load cell cable connector into the frame, screw it onto the end of the test cable until the cable threaded end just emerges from the inner side of the connector, and link the cable connector to the load cell using the anchor pin and retaining clip. NOTE: The wireless communication between the load cell and handheld unit is strongest in the direction of the “bottom” of the load cell. If you intend to read the measured load in the winch cabin, then position the bottom end of the load cell towards the cabin. f) Mount the piston onto the piston subframe, and anchor the free end of the test cable through the piston with the nut and washer. Tighten the nut hand tight only. 9.

Connect the manual pump to the piston.

10. Test the setup by applying pressure sufficient to cause the measuring head to react, then release the pressure using the control knob on the pump. 11. Hand-tighten the test cable nut once more (if necessary) to take up the slack. 12. Inspect the complete setup to check that all parts are properly settled and ready for the test procedure.

This concludes the rig-up. To rig-down the tool, first release all pressure from the manual pump, then proceed through the same steps as above in reverse.

6.20.3 Using the Tension Calibration Tool Related topics: • Supplier documentation for Straighpoint load cell • Supplier documentation for Enerpac manual hydraulic pump Once the tension calibration tool is rigged up, operation is very straightforward, and you need only operate the pump and observe the reading on the load cell display. NOTE: The units of measurement of your load cell are determined at the time of ordering of the Tension Calibration Tool and cannot be changed. The load will be displayed in either lb, kg or tonne. Proceed as follows to apply a specific tension to the measuring head. Prepare the load cell to take readings

6 Maintenance

See Figure 6.28 on page 81. 1.

If the unit has been stored for a longer period or the batteries are suspected to be old, open the battery compartment and insert new batteries.

2.

Switch the handheld and load cell ON by pressing and holding the power button until BUSY displayed.

3.

The display will initialize, then show the current measurement value “0.0”. You should start with a slack test cable, and zero load.

Take a tension reading 1.

Determine the target tension you want to test at, e.g. 250 kg or 600 lb (depending the of your load cell). You will normally be taking a series of readings over a range to calibrate the tension measurement system of a wireline winch.

2.

Close the release valve on the manual pump.

3.

Start the handheld unit and load cell (if applicable).

4.

Manually pump pressure into the calibration tool piston to tension the wireline.

5.

While observing the display of the load cell, continue pumping until the approximate target value is reached.

6.

Allow the test setup to stabilize for several minutes, or if necessary longer.

7.

The test cable will stretch when first placed under tension. It will stretch further as higher tensions are applied.

8.

If necessary, pump again until you have a stable tension force close to your target value. If you overshoot the target value, carefully release a little pressure using the release valve. It is not essential to arrive at exactly the target value. The main objective is to compare the calibration tension with the tension measured at the measuring head and displayed on the tension display of the winch.

Appendix 4: MP16II and CombiGauge depth calculation The length of wireline passing through the measuring head is calculated as follows: With each rotation of the measuring wheel, a point on the edge of the wheel travels a distance equal to the wheel diameter multiplied by π. The centre of the wireline travels at a diameter equal to the wheel diameter plus the wire diameter (on each side of the wheel, half the wire diameter). EXAMPLE: With: wire thickness = 0.108” = 2.743 mm measuring wheel diameter = 411.84 mm

Appendix 4: MP16II and CombiGauge depth

wire centre diameter = 411.84 + 2.743 = 414.583 mm

Diameter calculation

Wireline distance travelled with one turn of the wheel = 414.583 * π = 1302.45 mm The counter inside the CombiGauge is connected to the measuring wheel. When connected directly, one rotation of the measuring wheel is indicated with one unit on the counter. We have calculated that one rotation of the measuring wheel equates to 1.30245 metres. If our CombiGauge is to record depth in metres, then we need to accelerate the depth odometer to register the same depth from a single turn of the measuring wheel. This is accomplished by the combinations of gears in the angle drives (at the measuring head and CombiGauge) and (optional) drive splitter on the measuring head. ASEP Elmar has a variety of angle drives and drive splitters to accomplish the required conversion for various wireline sizes. Returning to the example above: measuring head angle drive ratio = 0.658 :1 (step-up) CombiGauge angle drive ratio = 1 : 0.857 (step-down) Resulting overall ratio = 1/0.6758 * 0.857/1 = 1.30243 One turn of the measuring wheel therefore registers 1.30243 metres at the CombiGauge.

MP16 User Manual

You may notice that there is a difference of 0.00002 metres between these figures. Over 10,000 metres of depth, this equates to 0.00002/1.30245 * 10,000 = 0.15 metres (15 cm). This is negligible for normal purposes. Combining different wireline sizes Most slickline winch units have either a dual drum or split drum, allowing the use of two or more different wireline sizes. Referring to the calculation above, this means that the drive ratio must be adjusted for the different wireline thicknesses (diameters). The measuring wheel diameter of course remains the same. This adjustment is achieved using a drive splitter with two internal drive ratios. The splitter has one input and two outputs. When switching the winch to a different wireline size, you must also connect the depth counter drive cable to the correct splitter outlet. With: wire size=

0.125” (3.175 mm)

measuring wheel=411.84 mm diameter

If the 0.108” output is a 1:1 (straight-through) drive in the splitter, then the 0.125” output must have a different ratio, calculated as follows: second output ratio = 1303.808 / 1302.450 = 1.001 You do not need to remember the ratio. The output is labelled for the correct wireline size. Combining drive components No more than 2 gearboxes (angle drive, splitter) may be connected directly to each other, and no more than 3 gears may be used in the external counter system. (The internal ratio of the odometer inside the CombiGauge is ignored). Imperial units Taking the example above, one turn of the measuring wheel equates to 1.30245 m = 4.273 ft. So one rotation of the measuring wheel needs to indicate 4.273 feet. To avoid needing to accelerate the depth counter drive cable to more than 4 times the normal (metric) speed, which could create service and performance problems, CombiGauges with imperial units have an internal step-up ratio of 1 : 5, i.e. the counter is accelerated by 5 turns for every incoming turn. This needs to be reduced to 4.273 by the external drive components. The required overall deceleration is therefore 4.273 / 5 = 1 : 0.855. This is achieved by using drive components with the internal ratios 1.002 :1 and 1 : 1.166 (= 0.857 : 1) as follows: (1/1.002) x (1/1.166)= 0.855 For an overview of the typical drive ratios available for various wireline sizes, see the table below.
