1. Introduction

1.1 Introduction to hook

The hook is a type of important hoisting equipment which is mainly used

for hanging and jacking-up drilling stem, replacing the bit of drill, casing as
well as setting down light jamming and blocking of drilling tools during drilling
process. When the hook is used together with traveling block, swivel as well
as lifting ring etc of the same level and adopting 41/2” drill pipe, the maximal
drilling depth can be 7000 meters.

2. Structure Introduction

2.1 Structure introduction

DG 450 hook body（Fig.1）, lifting ring and lifting ring seat are all made of
special-type high-strength alloy steel materials. They have excellent
mechanical performance and high load capacity.
The lifting ring (4) and lifting ring seat (1) are connected with pin shaft.
The bailer（12）and hook body（2）are connected with left screw thread and
fix it with fixed block (32). The hook bar and lifting ring seat are fixed together
so that the hook body and bailer can turn around hook bar or move up/down
along hook bar (18). Copper sleeve (8) (13) are installed in the bailer and
spring seat (28) to reduce the wearing of hook rod. Inside the bailer are
installed internal and external springs. When the rig is jacked up, the setback
is loosed and can spring up after screwing off. At the same time, after the
hook is installed, the spring seat divides the hook body and bailer into two
parts. When the inside bailer is lubricated, the buffer device may reduce the
impact of hook body moving upwards and downwards and reduce the
rebounding vibration of drill pipe when break out to protect the connector of
drilling pipe thread from damage. The lubrication oil can lubricate the bearing
(45), break device (34) and other parts at the same time.
The upper part of bailer is equipped with friction fixing device. The fixing
device is made up of six springs (7) mounted on the upper end of bailer and
fixing disc (20) pushed by the spring. When the hook runs without load or lifts
empty elevator, the fixed disc touches the lift ring seat block the rotation of
hook body by the friction forces of the spring in order to avoid the turning of
elevator and for convenient operation. When hanging drilling pipes, the fixed
disc and lift ring seat disconnect and there will be no friction forces between
friction disc and lifting ring seat; the hook body can rotates casually to avoid

the rotation of traveling block.

The braking mechanism of hook (Fig. 2) can lock the hook body every
45° within the scope of 360°. Pulling down the handle of “Stop” , the hook
body will be locked and can not rotate; pulling down the handle of “Open” ,
the braking will be released and the hook body can rotate casually.
The hook tongue-piece is equipped with locking device. After hanging into
swivel lifting ring, the hook body can automatically lock to avoid tripping off of
swivel lifting ring.

3. Use and Maintenance

3.1 Check before use of hook

⑴ Whether the nuts at the two ends of lifting ring pin as well as cotter pin
are firm;

Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd 9

 Operation Manual of DG 450 Hook

⑵ Whether the bolt on micro-hook is screwed down;

⑶ Whether the detent of safety tongue-piece is flexible and firm;
⑷ The lubrication situation of friction disc, safety pin, carrier rod and
detent;
⑸ Whether the hook body rotates flexibly being pushed by hand after it
hangs micro-load;
⑹ Whether the “Stop” and “Release” of braking mechanism is flexible
and reliable;
⑺ The quality and oil level of machine oil in bailer;
⑻ Whether there is oil leakage at every sealing point when the hook is in
horizontal or vertical position.

3.2 Use of hook

⑴ During drilling, pull down the handle at the “Stop” end of braking
mechanism with operating rod to lock hook body in order to prevent gyration
of swivel;
⑵ During tripping, pull down the handle at the “Release” end of braking
mechanism with operating rod to make hook body rotate in order to prevent
twisting of steel wire;
⑶ When hanging swivel, pull down the detent at the upper part of safety
tongue-piece with operating rod to open safety tongue-piece. After hanging it
into swivel lifting ring, you should check whether the detent has been locked
in order to prevent the falling off of swivel lifting ring.

3.3 Maintenance

⑴ After the hook bears heavy impact load (such as impact, cable drilling
and accidents etc.), you should check every force-loading parts immediately
(such as hook body, major-hook, micro-hook, lifting ring and lifting ring pin
etc.). When necessary, you should adopt flaw detection check. After affirming

Baoji Oilfield Machinery Co., Ltd 10

 Operation Manual of DG 450 Hook

that there is no abnormal situation, you can continue to use it;

⑵ The hook body, lifting ring, lifting ring seat and bailer etc can not be
gas-cut or welt casually.
⑶ Check every force-bearing area of lifting ring, lifting ring pin, lifting ring
seat and hook body periodically. If finding cracks and other abnormal
situations, you should stop its use immediately.

4. Lubrication
4.1 The seal disc, pin shaft of safety tongue-piece, carrier rod and detent
on the upper part of bailer take use of 2# lithium lubricating grease for
lubrication. Oil should be feed once every week.
4.2 The bearing and bushing etc in bailer take use of 20# machine oil for
lubrication. The oil mass is about 15 liters. When feeding oil, you should hang
the hook vertically without load and open the two plugs on the bailer at the
same time; thus the clean machine oil can flow into from one oil hole until the
oil level reaches the opposite oil hole position.
4.3 Check the quality of machine oil periodically; if finding deterioration or
turbidity etc, you should replace it immediately. You are recommended to
check it once every ten months.

5. Package, Transportation and Storage

5.1 The hook is transported on the whole with nude packs as one
transportation unit. During its transportation and installation, you should hoist
it with crane and it is forbidden to drag it on the ground.
5.2 The hook should be placed in dry and well-ventilated warehouse
without corrosive substances in it. The used hook should be clean out the oil
stains on external surface. During long-term cocooning, the machine oil and
setting matters in bailer should also be cleared up and every surface should
be covered with rust-proof oil.

6. Bearings for Hook

The hook takes use of heavy-load thrust roller bearing. Please see the
following table for details.

7. Special Tools
Each hook is equipped with one special operating rod. Figure No.:
AC225001-3200.

8. Notices
8.1 When bearing the maximal load, the hook should not be used at the
temperature lower than -20℃; if it needs to be used at such a temperature
lower than -18℃, you have to confirm the material’s low-temperature
performance and take necessary protective measures before using.
8.2 The hook is an important load-bearing component. It is forbidden to
gas-cut, drill or weld lifting ring, lifting ring seat, bailer and hook body etc
casually. Moreover, the bailer and hook body etc have been properly
assembled, thus it is forbidden to disassemble them casually. When
disassembly is indeed necessary, it should be done by manufacturers or
professional repair shops.
