Fact Sheet Describes And Illustrates New Multiple-Size Rams NL Rig Equipment of Houston has prepared a fact sheet illus- trating and describing the new Shaffer Multi-Ram™ multiple-size rams. The new rams are designed to close and seal on drill pipe from 31,/, to 5 inches in diameter, mak- ing Multi-Ram rams especially useful in situations in which a tapered string is employed. These rams are said to save drilling time and costs because they make ram change-out unnecessary. The variable Multi-Ram fit is accomplished through the use of unique ram rubbers with molded- in steel segments. As hydraulic pressure increases, the segments move radially inward, decreasing the bore size and ensuring a re- liable seal. In addition, the new rams use standard ram holders and retaining screws, which makes them interchangeable with regular rams in Shaffer blowout preventers. NL Rig Equipment/NL Indus- tries, Inc. manufactures, sells and services drilling and production equipment worldwide for the oil industry.
