ABSTRACT:
A test device and method of testing includes a BOP skid mounted to center an upright housing and piston beneath the BOP. A flange on the BOP mates with a flange on the housing to enable the BOP to be clamped by a ring. The ring is divided into two halves having upper and lower encircling lips. In the housing, the piston seats a seal ring to isolate fluid in a chamber for pressure testing of the seal ring with the flange and other components of the BOP. In addition, the test device and method can be applied to industry standard flanges on valves and the like.
