ABSTRACT:
A ram for a blowout preventer for coil tubing is disclosed. It includes a ram body having a flat face with a semi-circular cavity therein for engaging the flat face of an oppositely facing ram having a semi-circular cavity in its face. A seal member is carried by the ram to engage a seal member carried by the opposite facing ram to prevent the flow of fluid between the rams and a section of coil tubing extending vertically between the rams and encircled by the semi-circular cavities in the faces of the rams. An integral elastomeric pipe guide is carried by the ram to urge the tubing to the center of the preventer. A plurality of slip segments are mounted on the ram in the semi-circular cavity on opposite sides of the seal member to engage the tubing and hold the tubing from moving downwardly or upwardly relative to the ram.
