The T3 model 6000 Shearing Sealing Rams comprise energized sealing capabilities much the same as pipe rams. They are employed as blind rams during normal drilling operations and conform to NACE MR-01-75 requirements for integral blade shearing sealing rams.
This ram's single-piece body has a fold-over shoulder which bends the lower section of sheared pipe. This allows clarance for the ram to close and seal. It can also shear pipe numerous times without affecting operation and sealing. The application for Model 6000 was recently allowed for issuance as a patent.
