With respect to par-ticular circumstances, local, state,
3、and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed.API is not undertaking to meet the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers towarn and properly train and equip their employees, and others exposed, concerning healthand safety risks and precautions, nor undertaking their obligations under
4、local, state, orfederal laws.Information concerning safety and health risks and proper precautions with respect toparticular materials and conditions should be obtained from the employer, the manufac-turer or supplier of that material, or the material safety data sheet.Nothing contained in any API p
5、ublication is to be construed as granting any right, byimplication or otherwise, for the manufacture, sale, or use of any method, apparatus, orproduct covered by letters patent. Neither should anything contained in the publication beconstrued as insuring anyone against liability for infringement of
6、letters patent.Generally, API standards are reviewed and revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn at least ev-ery five years. Sometimes a one-time extension of up to two years will be added to this re-view cycle. This publication will no longer be in effect five years after its publication dateas an operat
7、ive API standard or, where an extension has been granted, upon republication.Status of the publication can be ascertained from the API Authoring Department telephone(202) 682-8000. A catalog of API publications and materials is published annually and up-dated quarterly by API, 1220 L Street, N.W., W
8、ashington, D.C. 20005.This document was produced under API standardization procedures that ensure appro-priate notification and participation in the developmental process and is designated as anAPI standard. Questions concerning the interpretation of the content of this standard orcomments and quest
9、ions concerning the procedures under which this standard was devel-oped should be directed in writing to the director of the Exploration and Production De-partment, American Petroleum Institute, 1220 L Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005.Requests for permission to reproduce or translate all or any
10、part of the material publishedherein should also be addressed to the director.API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so.

11、anty, or guarantee in connection with this pub-lication and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damageresulting from its use or for the violation of any federal, state, or municipal regulation withwhich this publication may conflict.API standards are published to f
12、acilitate the broad availability of proven, sound engineer-ing and operating practices. These standards are not intended to obviate the need for apply-ing sound engineering judgment regarding when and where these standards should be utilized.The formulation and publication of API standards is not in
13、tended in any way to inhibit any-one from using any other practices.Any manufacturer marking equipment or materials in conformance with the markingrequirements of an API standard is solely responsible for complying with all the applicablerequirements of that standard. API does not represent, warrant
14、, or guarantee that such prod-ucts do in fact conform to the applicable API standard.All rights reserved.

23、viceability of the covered equip-ment.This recommended practice covers the following drillingequipment:a. Rotary tables.b. Rotary bushings.c. Rotary slips.d. Rotary hoses.e. Slush pump components.f. Drawworks components.g. Spiders not capable of use as elevators.h. Manual tongs.i. Safety clamps not
24、used as a hoisting device.1.2 PROCEDURE DEVELOPMENTThe owner or user, together with the manufacturer shouldjointly develop and update inspection, maintenance, repair,and remanufacture procedures consistent with equipment ap-plication, loading, work environment, usage, and other op-erational conditio
25、ns. These factors may change from time totime as a result of new technology, equipment history, prod-uct improvements, new maintenance techniques, and changein service conditions.1.3 PERSONNEL QUALIFICATIONSInspection, maintenance, and repair procedures should becarried out by personnel qualified by

39、ndica-tions of inadequate performance.4.1.2 Category IICategory I inspection, plus further inspection for corro-sion, deformation, loose or missing components, deteriora-tion, proper lubrication, visible external cracks, andadjustment.4.1.3 Category IIICategory II inspection, plus further inspection
40、, whichshould include nondestructive examination (NDE) of exposedcritical areas and may involve some disassembly to accessspecific components, and identify wear that exceeds the man-ufacturers allowable tolerances.4.1.4 Category IVCategory III inspection, plus further inspection where theequipment i
41、s disassembled to the extent necessary to con-duct NDE of all primary load carrying components as de-fined by the manufacturer.4.2 FREQUENCYThe owner or user of the equipment should develop hisown schedule of inspections based on experience, manufac-turers recommendations, and consideration of one o
42、r moreof the following factors: environment, load cycles, regula-tory requirements, operating time, testing, repairs, and re-manufacture.4.3 RESULTS OF INSPECTION4.3.1 Acceptance CriteriaAcceptance criteria should be established based on expe-rience and manufacturers recommendations. Worn equip-ment
43、 that does not meet acceptance criteria should not beaccepted for operation at reduced load unless an analysis ismade in accordance with the governing API Equipment Spec-ification, or by the manufacturer if no API Specification exists.4.3.2 Rejected EquipmentRejected equipment should be marked and r
