ABSTRACT:
Ram bodies mounted in transverse bores of a blowout preventer body with a longitudinal bore therethrough are operable by operating means extending through closures on one end of the transverse bores to move the rams to close off fluid communication through the longitudinal bore in the body and to retract the rams from the longitudinal bore. Removable seal means are provided on each ram body to seal with the transverse bore in which each ram body is mounted. Removable seal means extend diametrically across the front of each ram for sealingly engaging an elongate member in the longitudinal bore when the rams are closed. The removable seal means is retained in position by non-torquing means during use but may be readily replaced when necessary. Self energizing seal means on the ram body sealingly engage the transverse bores.
Valve means is incorporated in the blowout preventer body to equalize pressure in the longitudinal bore above and below the closed rams when desired, which valve means is constructed and arranged to respond to pressure below the rams to remain closed until it is desired to open the valve means.
