Chain System:
The injector has two counter rotating chain assemblies that are supported by both the
drive and idler sprockets on the Injector. Each chain assembly, shown in Figure 1.,
incorporates gripper blocks (Item 1-) connected in series with 2.00-inch pitch chain
links (Item 2-). Traction forces are transmitted from the gripper blocks to the bearings
(Item 3-), which are mounted on the backside of each gripper block. The injector can be
fitted with chain assemblies that can accommodate tubing sizes up to 2.375 inches in
diameter.
10
Traction System:
The Injector Traction System is shown in Figure 4. The traction system consists of three
(3) pairs of hydraulic cylinders (Item 1-), which impart force to two (2) hardened steel
skates (Item 2-) via Traction Shafts (Item 3-) mounted in the hydraulic cylinder eyes.
Skate Holders (Item 4-) distribute the concentrated force of each Traction Shaft evenly
along the length of the Skates. As the gripper blocks pass over the hardened steel skates,
the force is transmitted to the tubing. Each set of hydraulic cylinders is free to float
horizontally on Wear Guides (Item 5-) that fit into slots designed into the injector side
11
plates. Pressure to the hydraulic cylinders is controlled from the cabin through three (3)
separate circuits, each having an accumulator to dampen the dynamic effects of the chain
during operation. The ratio of traction force to pulling force can be can be as high as 5:1
depending on many factors, including gripper block condition, tubing surface condition,
tubing wall thickness, running speed and the ovality of the tubing.
12
Gooseneck:
Figure 6. shows the Gooseneck Assembly. The Gooseneck (Item 1-) supports and
directs the tubing as it enters or exits the injector. The end of the gooseneck is flared
(Item 2-) to accommodate the tubing fleet angle. V-type rollers (Item 3-) installed in
the gooseneck can accept tubing sizes up to and including 2-3/8 diameter. The
gooseneck pins directly to the injector frame (Item 4-) and requires no further
adjustment regardless of the tubing size being run. The Gooseneck radius has a major
influence on tubing fatigue and effective tubing life. For this reason, the standard
gooseneck on the HPTT 60K injector has a radius of 8 ft. (96 in). Optional Gooseneck
configurations including different radiuses, hydraulic break over and a swivel feature are
available upon customer request.
13
Stripper:
The stripper is a device that allows the tubing to enter the well under pressure without
well leakage. The stripper uses a wearable elastomer seal through which the coiled
tubing is passed. The stripper is bolted to the stripper base of the injector so that it is as
close to the injector chains as possible. When mounted in this manner, column buckling
of the tubing is reduced. Stripper operation is controlled remotely from the control cabin.
Hydraulic pressure is applied to the underside of a piston, forcing it upward into the
wearable elastomer seal, which compresses the seal around the coiled tubing, creating the
seal.
Injector Legs:
Aluminum telescoping legs fit into the corner sockets of the injector base to stabilize the
injector on the wellhead. If supplied, the telescoping legs are only designed for
stabilization, not to carry the tubing load.
14
INJECTOR OPERATION
Description:
The purpose of a coiled tubing injector is to supply the required effort and traction to run
coiled tubing into and out of a well. The injector head consists of several hydraulic
systems and components designed to provide the coiled tubing unit (CTU) operator a
high degree of control. An understanding of each injector function is crucial to ensure
that the equipment is operated efficiently and safely. The hydraulic circuits that are
incorporated into the HPTT RB 60K Injector can be summarized as follows:
The control or monitoring of each of these circuits is accomplished from the control cabin
and all required hydraulic connections originate from the control cabin and power unit.
The Injector quick disconnect (Q-D) panel is located on the front left-hand side of the
injector frame as shown in Figure 7. The Injector input/output hydraulic lines are
connected to the Q-D panel by matching the hose numbers (Tag Numbers) stamped on
the hoses to the corresponding numbers on the Injector Q-D Panel.
15
(Table 1. Q-D Panel Connections) shows the hose numbers (Tag numbers), the hose size
and the associated function of each.

motors direction of rotation is opposite the other. After passing through the hydraulic
motors, the hydraulic fluid enters the counter balance valve on the out-hole side where
it is blocked by the internal check valve. Hydraulic pressure increases in the in-hole
side of the circuit until sufficient pilot pressure opens the normally closed counter
balance valve on the out-hole side of the circuit. To ensure smooth injector operation
(no jerking), dampening valves (Item 4-) are incorporated into the pilot signal lines of
each counter balance valve. The hydraulic circuit described above will prevent
overrunning loads (pipe light & pipe heavy) from occurring. During an overrunning load
condition, the hydraulic motors are being forced to act as a hydraulic pump because inlet
pressure falls off and the motors begin to suck in oil. The counter balance valves
prohibit this condition from occurring because they will prevent hydraulic flow from
passing through them until a sufficient pilot pressure (positive pressure on the motor
inlet) is present.
19
WARNING!
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE PILOT PRESSURE FOR INJECTOR MOTOR
DISPLACEMENT CONTROL CANNOT EXCEED 1450 PSI.
20
Loop Flushing:
The hydraulic motors on the Injector are not equipped with loop flushing valves. When
the Injector is operated with a closed loop power unit, it is recommended that a loop
flushing valve (hot oil shuttle) be installed at the power unit to remove a quantity of oil
from the low side of the closed loop for cooling purposes. When operating the Injector in
a closed-loop system, the internal charge pump of the Injector supply pump should be of
sufficient size to makeup the fluid lost to the loop flushing valves.
21
Figure 10, Injector Brake Control, shows a two-position three-way valve directing
hydraulic pressure either to the injector brake (full release) or to tank (brakes set). The
Injector Brakes begin to release when supplied 150 psig and full brake release is achieved
when 240 psig is reached.
Injector Traction Circuit:
The Injector Traction Circuit consists of six (6) hydraulic cylinders that are plumbed to
produce three (3) independent traction circuits; Top, Middle and Bottom. The Injector
Traction Circuit is shown in Figure 11.
22
The HPTT 60K Injector has been designed to accept a maximum hydraulic pressure of
3000 psig to the injector traction circuit. However, during most jobs, the operator will
find that the injector traction pressure will not have to be set above 2000 psig. Since
injector traction pressure directly influences the life of the chain bearings and the coiled
23
tubing, it is advantageous to keep the traction pressure as low as possible while still
maintaining control over tubing slip.
WARNING!
NEVER ATTEMPT TO PRESSURIZE THE TRACTION CYLINDERS
WITHOUT TUBING BETWEEN THE GRIPPER BLOCKS. DAMAGE
TO THE GRIPPER BLOCKS AND CHAIN ASSEMBLY CAN RESULT.
The control valves for the injector traction circuit should be set up so that each set of
traction cylinders is independently controlled and monitored from the control cabin. A
typical hydraulic circuit that accomplishes just this is shown in Figure 12.
24
Ball Valve (Item 2-) and monitoring the circuits pressure using the associated Pressure
Gauge (Item 3-). After a pressure adjustment is made, the associated Ball Valve for
each traction circuit should be closed (Traction Pressure Lock). By closing each traction
circuits Ball Valve, it will ensure that each traction circuit remains independent of the
other should a cylinder failure occur. The hydraulic circuit shown above also has
provisions for an auxiliary hand pump. This allows the operator to produce traction
pressure even if there has been a hydraulic power unit failure. Each Traction Circuit can
be completely drained of hydraulic pressure by positioning the Traction Bleed Ball
Valve (Item 5) into the Bleed position. This is required for instance when injector chain
assemblies are changed or other routine maintenance to the traction system is required.
During operation however, the Bleed position on the Ball Valve (Item -5) should be
avoided.

PRESSURE SETTING.
To ensure that adequate tension is maintained in the injector chain assemblies, the
injector is fitted with a hydraulic chain tension system. The hydraulic circuit for the
chain tension system is shown in Figure 13.
25
26
The maximum hydraulic pressure available to the Chain Tension Circuit is 2000 psig.
The operator should limit the pressure in the chain tension circuit to no higher than 250
psig during normal operation. During maximum snub loads, the hydraulic pressure in the
circuit can reach 2000 psig. The operator should closely monitor the chain assembly
during operation and adjust chain tension pressure accordingly. The goal of the operator
should be to keep chain tension pressure as low as possible to increase the life expectancy
of the chain assembly. Failure to follow these recommendations will result in reduced
chain life expectancy and or failure. It must also be noted that the hydraulic pressure sent
to the Chain Tension circuit must be adjusted to accommodate chain stretch and injector
push (snub) load. As shown in Figure 14, hydraulic pressure can be controlled with the
pressure reducing / relieving valve (Item 1-), and monitored with a single Pressure
27
Gauge (Item 3-). As a rule of thumb, Chain Assemblies have reached the end of their
useful life, and should be replaced, when approximately 3% chain elongation has
occurred. The HPTT RB 60K Injector has been designed so that when the hydraulic
cylinders on the Chain Tension system are fully extended, 3% chain assembly elongation
has occurred.
NOTE
PRESSURE CAN INCREASE IN THE INJECTOR CHAIN TENSION
CIRCUIT AFTER IT HAS BEEN SET DUE TO AN INCREASE IN
TEMPERATURE. THE CHAIN TENSION CIRCUIT SHOULD BE
MONITORED FOR ANY INCREASE IN HYDRAULIC PRESSURE AND
BLED TO THE DESIRED PRESSURE SETTING.
28
The single acting load cell (102 cc) present on the Injector should be connected, via the
Injector quick disconnect panel, to a weight indicator that has been properly scaled for
the incoming pressure it will be receiving due to the imposed load on the Injector. The
weight registered versus pressure received should be scaled 2 to 1. The weight indicator
should have a scale that registers positive 60,000-lbf for pipe heavy operation and
negative 20,000-lbf for pipe light (snub) operation.
29
INJECTOR SETUP
Introduction:
The following procedures for setting up the Injector are guidelines only. They are not
intended to be totally self sufficient as different circumstances and working conditions
may dictate different procedures.
Examine all quick disconnect fittings to ensure that they are completely coupled.
Ensure that no strain, due to the weight of the hose bundle assemblies, is present
on the quick disconnect fittings.
30
Set Injector Traction pressure to 0 psig and Injector Chain tension pressure to
approximately 100 psig.
Visually check the Injector Chain assemblies for obvious signs of damage. This
is accomplished easily by slowly rotating the Injector prior to tubing installation.
Also check to make sure that all bearings in the Chain assemblies are rotating
freely.
Check the operation of all Injector functions; Injector Drive motors, Brakes,
Timing Gears, Traction cylinders, Chain Tension cylinders and lubrication flow
prior to tubing installation.
Check the Stripper for worn rubber or guide bushings before installing to the
Injector Stripper Base.
Check all mounting pins on the Gooseneck to ensure that all keepers are in place.
Tubing Installation:
The following procedures should be followed when installing tubing into the Injector. It
should also be noted that the HPTT RB 60K Injector has been designed with a gooseneck
that requires no adjustment to be made regardless of the tubing size being run. This
reduces the time and effort that would normally be required to ensure proper gooseneck
alignment.
Apply approximately 100 psig Chain Tension pressure. Ensure that the Injector
Traction Circuit has 0 psig (fully bled). This will allow the Injector Skates to be
pried open for sufficient clearance to insert the tubing.
Before inserting the tubing, rotate the Injector Chains several revolution in the
out-hole direction to check for smooth rotation and the proper amount of
tension. Adjust chain tension as required for smooth operation.
Insert the tubing from the reel and allow it to pass over the gooseneck into the
center of the Injector Chain Assemblies. The tubing must pass completely
through the chain assemblies and through the stripper. It may be necessary to
apply Traction pressure so that the Injector can pull the tubing through the
Injector.
After the tubing has been completely inserted into the Injector, increase the
Traction pressure slightly (approximately 200-500 psig).
31
Close the hold down boxes on the gooseneck were possible. The remaining hold
down boxes can be closed once the Injector has been completely rigged up and
proper reel tension has been applied to the tubing.
Please refer to Figure 15, Load Cell Setup for the following discussion about properly
setting up the load cell for operation.
32
The following procedures should be followed to properly setup the Load Cell to accept
both pipe heavy and pipe light (snub) loads:
Remove all weight from the load cell by loosing both preload nuts and tightening
both transport nuts under the preload brackets on the injector. This will raise the
load cell compression member off of the Load Cell.
Use hand pump to force enough fluid into the Load Cell so that a gap slightly
larger than 0.625 inches exists between the upper and lower Load Cell platens.
Loosen the plug on the Load Cell to bleed the system while filling.
Once bled, tighten the plug and lower the Injector onto the Load Cell by
backing off on the transport nuts until they are approximately one inch below the
preload brackets on the Injector.
Once the weight of the Injector is resting on the Load Cell, open the plug on
the Load Cell and bleed until a 5/8 gap is present between the Load Cells upper
and lower platens.
33
Tighten each Pre Load Nut on the Injector equally (about two full revolutions per
side) until 20,000 lbf is registered on the weight indicator in the control cabin.
Zero the weight indicator. The Injector is now ready for 60,000-lbf pipe heavy
operation and 20,000-lbf pipe light (snub) operation.
NOTE
THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES THAT A WEIGHT INDICATOR WITH A
POSITIVE 60,000 LBF AND A NEGATIVE 20,000 LBF SCALE IS
AVAILABLE FOR USE. IF NOT AVAILABLE, A WEIGHT INDICATOR
WITH A POSITIVE SCALE OF 80,000 LBF CAN BE USED AS LONG AS
THE OPERATOR REMEMBERS NOT TO ZERO THE GAUGE AFTER
THE 20,000 LBF PRE-LOAD IS PLACED ON THE LOAD CELL. IN THIS
SITUATION, AN INDICATED LOAD OF 0 LBF ON THE WEIGHT
INDICATOR WOULD REPRESENT A PIPE LIGHT (SNUB) LOAD OF
20,000 LBF AND ANY INDICATED LOAD ABOVE 20,000 LBF ON THE
WEIGHT INDICATOR WOULD REPRESENT A POSITIVE (PIPE
HEAVY) LOAD ON THE INJECTOR.
34
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Introduction:
The following maintenance schedules are guidelines only. The frequency of maintenance
or service operation depends on the operating conditions, environment, and age or
condition of the unit.
CAUTION
DO NOT PERFORM ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS ON
THE INJECTOR WITH THE POWER UNIT IN OPERATION.
Maintenance:
A. Daily (Before Operation):
Check to make sure that all gauges read zero (0) pressure. Replace any
nonfunctional pressure gauges.
Check for any visible hydraulic leaks and make necessary repairs.
Check all hydraulic quick disconnects to and from the control cabin for full
engagement.
35
With the Injector rotating, check the pressure filters that are mounted between the
main quick disconnects and the counter balance valves. These filters have an
integral bypass with a visual bypass indicator. When the bypass indicator shows
red, the filter should be replaced.
NOTE
DURING COLD WEATHER, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE INCREASED
VISCOSITY OF THE HYDRAULIC OIL TO CREATE SUFFICIENT
PRESSURE DROP ACROSS THE FILTER ELEMENT TO ACTUATE THE
BYPASS VALVE. FOR THIS REASON, INSPECT THE BYPASS
INDICATOR ON THE FILTER ONLY AFTER THE HYDRAULIC OIL
TEMPERATURE HAS INCREASED.
C. Daily (After Operation):
CAUTION
THE FOLLOWING MAINTENANCE MUST BE DONE WITH THE UNIT
STOPPED AND ALL SYSTEM PRESSURE RELIEVED.
Check for any external leakage on fittings and hoses. Tighten fittings and/or
replace O-rings as required.
Thoroughly clean inside and outside of the Injector and lubricate chains,
sprockets, and timing gears.
Inspect Chain assemblies for obvious signs of damage and repair as necessary.
36
Grease all bearings on the Injector. Tighten setscrews on all bearings set collars.
After the initial 60 hours of operation on a new Injector, replace all hydraulic
filter elements.
Check that the three (3) Injector Traction Accumulators maintain the required
500-psig nitrogen pre-charge pressure.
Check that the Injector Chain Tension Accumulator maintains the required 60psig nitrogen pre-charge pressure.
37
TROUBLESHOOTING
General Troubleshooting:
Most problems that occur with a hydraulic system are simple in nature. However,
because of their effect on major components in the system, they may seem
overwhelming. When attempting to troubleshoot a problem, try and remember to
eliminate the simplest possibilities first and then proceed to the more complex issues in
the circuit.
Check the condition of the hydraulic filters and the fluid level in the hydraulic
reservoir.
Check the circuit of the component of issue for any damage of external leaks.
Check the condition of all controls that operate the circuit under investigation.
Check to make sure that all hoses are properly connected to the Injector and
Power Unit. When making this check, be sure to see if the hydraulic quickdisconnect fittings are properly engaged. Since quick-disconnect fittings contain
a built in check valve, they will not permit flow unless they are fully engaged.
If the above procedures have not pinpointed the problem, the Power Unit or external
power source should be investigated as a possible source for the problem. This is
especially true if a loss of pressure or flow is being investigated. Proceed by
disconnecting the hoses for that system from the Power Unit and see if pressure can be
built up across the relief valve for the circuit. If full pressure can be obtained, the source
of the problem is most likely external to the Power Unit. Before attempting to trouble
shoot a Power Unit, it is recommended that the manual for the specific Power Unit at
issue be thoroughly read and understood.
38
NOTE
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN PRESSURIZING THE POWER UNIT
CIRCUITS WITH THE HOSES CONNECTED. DUMPING FLOW OVER A
RELIEF VALVE INTRODUCES A LARGE AMOUNT OF HEAT INTO THE
HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Common Injector Problems:
39
40
Cause 3: Restriction in one or both of the pilot lines to the counter balance valves.
Problem F: INJECTOR MOTORS DO NOT COMPLETELY STOP WHEN CONTROL
VALVE IS CENTERED IN THE CONTROL CABIN.
Cause 1: Check to make sure that the hydraulic flow is not being sent to the injector
despite the control valve being centered. This may require adjustments to pumps or
valves at the Power Unit.
Cause 2: The injector motors may be worn or damaged allowing an excessive amount of
internal leakage.
Cause 3: The counter balance valves may be worn or have debris binding the main spool
causing the injector motors to creep.
Cause 4: The brakes may be damaged. The brakes must be engaged to not this problem.
The brakes should be able to hold maximum injector system pressure.
41
42
Cause 1: Injector is not receiving the correct pressure for the motor displacement circuit.
The Injector motors begin to reduce their displacement (speed up for a given flow rate)
when supplied 145 psig. The Injector motors reach minimum displacement (maximum
speed for a given flow rate) when supplied 510 psig. Maximum allowable pressure to the
circuit should not exceed 1450 psig.
Cause 2: If the correct supply pressure is being received at the Injector motor
displacement port, the displacement control on the hydraulic motor may be damaged.
Refer to the hydraulic motor service manual for repair procedures.
