Roughnecks frequently had to apply floor wipers and high pressure water gun to clean and maintain the drillfloor from mudspills.

Kelly hose - a flexible, high-pressure hose that connects the standpipe to the kelly (or more specifically to the gooseneck on the swivel above the kelly) and allows free vertical movement of the kelly, while facilitating the flow of the drilling fluid

through the system and down the drill string.

Goose-neck - thick metal elbows connected to the swivel and standpipe that

supports the weight of and provides a downward angle for the kelly hose to hang

from.

What is difference between weld neck flange and slip on weld flange?

http://www.tubecraftflange.com/products/slipon.htmTubeSlip-On Flanges are probably the most common type of flanges in the industry and are ideal for lower pressure applications. You do not have to specify the pipe schedule when using slip-on flanges due to the fact that its inside diameter is determined by the outside diameter of the pipe. This outside diameter of the pipe does not change for the different schedules. This often makes these easier to stock for vendors. Fabricators also like the fact that these flanges are slightly easier to align than weld neck flanges. They also are slightly easier to cut pipe to the proper length for. They can be used for high temperature and pressure applications but are not generally recommended as compared to other types of flanges. ASME B16.5 Code limits their usage in the 1500#-2500# (lbs.) weight classes.

What type tool is used to latch onto drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe?

A tool commonly used to latch onto the drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe is called a "pipe ram" or "pipe wiper." This tool is typically part of the blowout preventer (BOP) system and is designed to create a secure seal around the drill pipe, allowing for safe and efficient operations. It helps prevent the escape of fluids and maintains well control during drilling operations.


How can I effectively drill holes in PVC pipe for irrigation purposes?

To effectively drill holes in PVC pipe for irrigation, use a drill with a sharp bit that is the same size as the desired hole. Mark the location of the holes on the pipe, then drill slowly and steadily to avoid cracking the PVC. Clean any burrs from the holes to ensure smooth water flow.

Where is the drill pipe placed to make a cannection?

The drill pipe is placed in the wellbore to make a connection at the surface, typically at the rotary table or a similar connection point. This allows for the alignment of the pipe with the floating or rig equipment, ensuring a secure and effective connection. Once aligned, the drill pipe can be threaded or mechanically locked into place to facilitate drilling operations.
