Q

What ways can fluid be brought into the displacement tanks.

A

4x4 and mudline on the tiger.

On the elite, it can also be brought in through the 6x5.

21
Q

What are the two ways to move fluid from the displacement tank to the HT

A

Gravity or Boost

22
Q

When would each method be used?

A

Fill lines - gravity
When you are chasing fluid downhole, we would use the boost. The boost also helps clean the belly line. Boost when we are priming up.

23
Q

What size is the mixing tub?

A

8 bbls total. 3 bbl downhole.

24
Q

What is the divider in the tub used for?

A

Separates the pre mix from the downhole.

Also called the partition. It knocks some of the air out of cement.

25
Q

From the downhole side, where can fluid go?

A

to the HT

26
Q

When recirculating cement, what side of the mixing tub is fluid pulled from?

A

Premix

27
Q

What pump is used for the recirculating of cement?

A

6x5.

28
Q

What is the purpose of the witches hat?

A

Creates more mix energy.

29
Q

What do the mixing paddles contribute to the process?

A

Agitation and added mix energy.

30
Q

Describe a Cement head and how does it function?

A

Cement throttle knife regulates inflow. Can be auto or hand adjusted for different situations.
Vacuum breaker - breaks locked product
Sleeve- Separates dry product and fluid until it enters the witches hat.

31
Q

What size fluid ends and what do we use here.

A

4.5 and 5 inch

32
Q

How does changing the size of the fluid end effect

A

larger the fluid end, the more volume but less pressure.

33
Q

what is the max pressure on the Tiger.

A

10,000 ish

34
Q

What does HT stand for

A

Horizontal triplex

35
Q

What is the max horsepower on an HT

A

650

36
Q

Can the max HP change?

A

yes beased on the fluid ends.

37
Q

What is referred to when the pump is jacking off?

A

There is air in the HT and there is no longer full prime.

38
Q

Fluid can go to the HT from?

A

Displacement tanks, mixing tub or an outside source through a suction.

39
Q

From the HT where can fluid go?

A

Downhole or back to the displacement tank.

40
Q

FLECS

A

Flexible Electronic Control System

41
Q

Additional method of measuring density

A

Scale

42
Q

How many densometers on the truck

A

2

micromotion - actually a flowmeter which can measure density and a radioactive densometer for the downhole.

43
Q

Where are the densometers placed?

A

Premix - RCM and downhole.

44
Q

Densometers are calibrated how?

A

lowcal with water before the job and after prime up.

45
Q

How many pop off valves on the 660

A

3-5 depending on the year made. set to 37.5

46
Q

Which bins have different sized pots

A

1410

47
Q

Two size bins

A

1600 series and 1410 series

48
Q

Weakest part of the HT

A

Bull Gear

49
Q

Difference between the Tiger and Zs4

A

Z does not have ADC and uses Uni Pro 2. The road motor controls the HT and the deck engine runs the RCM

50
Q

How often should trucks be serviced?

A

every 500 hours or about once per month.

51
Q

Backup pressure gauge on tiger

A
