Preventive Maintenance
A regular preventive maintenance program should be established. Written maintenance procedures should
be provided to the personnel responsible for the maintenance.

Lubrication Requirements

Lubrication: The frequency of lubrication depends upon frequency and period of product use as well as
environmental conditions, which are contingent upon the user’s good judgment. Assuming normal product use, the
following schedule is suggested when using lithium-based grease of a medium consistency.

Maintenance Requirements

Tackle Blocks must be regularly inspected, lubricated, and maintained for peak efficiency and extended usefulness.

Series 70 Disassembly Instructions

Disassembly/Assembly Instructions
for McKissick® 70 Series Tubing Blocks

On the following pages are general disassembly and


assembly instructions for all sizes of McKissick® 70
Series Tubing Blocks. The instructions outline the
necessary disassembly and assembly required for
thorough inspection, or replacement of internal parts.

There are two versions of spring retention devices that


were produced by McKissick® for the 70 Series Tubing
block. The original design uses a threaded nut (Figure 1),
and the current design uses split keeper rings that fit into
grooves at the top of the hook shank (Figure 2).

The instructions consider both methods. Disassembly


instructions consider the upper block assembly and the
hook assembly separately, after the lower bolt
assemblies are removed.

Maintenance Alert
McKissick® 14” through 24” Oilfield Tubing Blocks

The Crosby Group, Inc. is aware of improper use and


maintenance of McKissick® 14” through 24” Tubing
Blocks. Some crew members are removing the hook
latch pivot pin, to load the links. Repeated removal and
installation of the pivot pin retaining rings may damage
the rings and prevent proper seating in pin grooves.

The hook latch assembly consists of a lower pivot pin


and an upper arm bolt assembly. The lower pivot pin
assembly consists of a pin with grooves at each end and
two retaining rings. The upper arm bolt assembly
consists of a bolt, castellated nut, and cotter pin. This
design allows the latch to pivot open after the arm bolt is
removed. Repeated removal and re-installation of the
pivot pin retaining ring is not recommended.

• Crosby recommends at your next frequent


inspection to visually inspect the pivot pin retaining
rings for damage and verify they are securely seated
in pin grooves.
• Proper installation of an undamaged genuine
Crosby retaining ring is the responsibility of the end
user. HOOK
• Damaged retaining rings or rings not properly
seated and secured, may allow the pivot pin to
disengage and fall to the rig floor during operation.
• Use only genuine Crosby replacement parts.
• A falling pin may cause serious injury or death.

To accommodate end users who prefer removing the


lower bolt the latch on the upper arm bolt assembly,
Crosby offers a lower bolt assembly with a castellated
nut and cotter pin to replace the lower pivot pin.

Maintenance Alert
The Crosby Group, Inc. has recently been made aware of conditions of inadequate maintenance, inspection, and
unauthorized modification of McKissick® oilfield tubing blocks.

The Crosby Group, Inc. does not recommend the use of equipment that has been modified or repaired beyond the
given allowables, and recommends the use of only genuine Crosby® McKissick® replacement parts. Age, severity of
service and obsolescence of design may preclude repair, and should result in block assembly being removed from
service.

As defined in API RP8B and AESC (formerly AOSC) Recommended Safe Procedures and Guidelines for Oil and Gas
Well Servicing, maintenance and inspection must be performed on sheave blocks to ensure they are in proper
working condition. Visual and magnetic particle inspection must be performed on all primary load carrying
components to detect service related defects such as wear and fatigue cracks. Fatigue cracks left undetected will
progress to ultimate component failure at load less than the predicted ultimate load of the block due to reduced cross
section of the material at crack location. The Crosby Group warnings has general guidelines for inspection and
removal from service criteria for tackle blocks and can be found in the Crosby general catalog.

For McKissick® tubing maintenance, refer to sections of Tackle Block Maintenance and/or Fitting Maintenance
sections of Tackle Block Warning, Use and Maintenance Information located in the latest edition of Crosby’s general
catalog. Other guidelines for inspection and maintenance can be found in API RP8B and RP9B, in addition to AESC
(formerly AOSC) Recommended Safe Procedures and Guidelines for Oil and Gas Well Servicing.

Inspection of primary load carrying components, as shown in this document, must be performed in addition to the
above requirements. Frequency of the inspection should be based on the environment, load cycles, and operation
time. Annual inspection is recommended. However, the maximum inspection interval should not exceed five (5) years.
Shown below are representative blocks covered by this inspection plan.

If you should have any question regarding this Maintenance Alert or the inspection and acceptance criteria of the
subject equipment, please contact our Technical Support staff at 1-800-777-1555.

• Requirements for Certification of Construction and Survey of Cargo Gear on Merchant Vessels
• Guide for the Certification of Drilling Systems
(This is not intended to be a complete list of guidelines published by ABS.)
A common request is for ABS third party witness of proof test and magnetic particle inspection after proof test.
Depending on the type of certification, requirements may include design review, materials testing, nondestructivetesting, proof load
and special packaging.
When specifying ABS certification, it is necessary to know to which guideline the product is to be certified (i.e., Guide for
Certification of Cranes, etc.).

Det Norske Veritas - (DNV)


Det Norske Veritas is an independent foundation established in 1864 for safeguarding life, property and the environment. Along
with inspection and advisory services, DNV provides the following three types of certification services.
Classification - Certification based on DNV Rules or Certification Notes.
Statutory Certification - Certification under authority granted by National Authorities (i.e., NPD,UK-HSE, Canada, Australia, etc.)
according to acts, regulations, statutory instruments given by Statutory Authorities.
Conformity Certification - Certification to client specifications, National Standards or recognized codes. Some of the most common
DNV certification rules for lifting are:
• Rules for Certification of Lifting Appliances
• Certification Notes No. 2.7-1 Offshore Containers
• Rules for Classification of Mobile Offshore Units Part 6, Chapter 5.
(This is not intended to be a complete list of DNV Rules.)
Lifting products may require design review, materials testing, nondestructive testing, DNV issued Proof Test Certificate (CG3) and
DNV issued Certificate of Conformity (C of C).
Type approved products with a Manufacturer’s Survey Agreement (MSA), require all the above except: Design Review, DNV issued
Proof Test Certificate (CG3) and DNV issued Certificate of Conformity (C of C). For products certified to 2.7-1 Specification (Off-
shore Containers), DNV witnesses proof test and issues their Proof Test Certificate (CG3) and Certificate of Conformity (C of C) to
the distributor responsible for building the container set. It is the distributor’s responsibility and cost to contact DNV.
When specifying DNV certification, always specify one of the three types of services, and if it is a DNV Rule, which Rule is
applicable (i.e., Rules for Certification of Lifting Appliances, etc.).

American Petroleum Institute - (API)


Established in 1919, API writes specifications that are published as aids for the procurement of standardized equipment and mate-
rials, as well as instructions to manufacturers of equipment or materials covered by an API specification. Some of the common
specifications written by API for “Lifting” are:
• Specification for Drilling and Production Hoisting Equipment (API Spec 8A)
• Specification for Drilling and Production Hoisting Equipment (API Spec 8C)
• Specification for Offshore Cranes (API Spec 2C)
• Specification for Wire Rope (API 9 Spec A)
• Specification for Quality Programs (API Spec Q1)
A standard to which a manufacturer’s quality system must comply in order to state that products are manufactured to API require-
ments, resulting in permission to apply the API monogram.
When specifying API, it is necessary to know to which API Specifications the product is to be certified (i.e., Specification
for Drilling and Production Hoisting Equipment (API Spec 8A), etc.).

Lloyd’s Register of Shipping


A society established in 1760 and recognized under UK laws and to provide third party assurance of compliance to plans, specifi-
cations, rules, codes and fitness of use by approving designs, surveys and reports. Lloyd’s Register acts on behalf of clients and
governments to verify products conform to statutory requirements and provides inspection and advisory services to clients.
Some of the most commonly used Lloyd’s Register certification types include the following.
• Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment
• Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Ships
• Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Mobile Offshore Units
• Container Certification Scheme

Glossary of Terms for Testing and Third Party Certification
Cont’d
A common request is for Lloyd’s Register Witness Proof Test and Magnetic Particle Inspection with Certification. However,
certification may require design review, material tests or product verification to statutory or customer requirements.
When specifying Lloyd’s Register of Shipping certification, know the code, standard, statute or customer requirement
(i.e., Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment, etc.).

Federal Specifications & Military Standards


The Federal Specifications & Military Standards’ documents specify dimensional, performance and test requirements for products.
Some specifications define particular testing that is not normally performed on standard items. Crosby products, when identified in
the latest Crosby General Catalog, will meet the requirements when tested by the party awarded the government contract. Certifi-
cation is usually covered by a Crosby Standard Certificate of Conformance.

ISO 9001
A standard defining a manufacturer’s or service organization’s Quality Management System requiring third party certification. ISO
9001, the most comprehensive ISO certification level, involves the design, development, production and shipping of products. ISO
9001 requires that all procedures, work instructions, processes and additional activities be documented.

Attainment of ISO 9001 forms the basis for meeting other world standards and provides customers with documented proof of
Crosby’s ability to consistently provide product quality and performance.

National Association of Chain Manufacturers (NACM)


A U.S. Standard specifying dimensional and performance criteria for graded chain.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)


American Society for Testing and Materials, established in 1898, is the largest voluntary standards development system in the
world. ASTM Standards cover:
Inspection Methods (Certificates Required) — i.e., Magnetic Particle, Ultrasonic, Dye Penetrant, X-Ray, Hardness, etc.
Processes (Standard Certificate of Conformance) — i.e., Hot Dip Galvanizing, Electroplate, Mechanical Galvanizing, etc.
Material Properties (Tensile Test Report Required) — i.e., Specification for Steel Forging, Carbon and Alloy for General Industrial
Use (A668), Specification for Steel, Closed-Impression Die Forgings for General Industrial Use (A521), etc.
Material Test Methods — Covers Tensile and Charpy impact test specimens and test methods. i.e., Test Methods of Tension Test-
ing of Metallic Materials (E8), A370 Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products (A370), etc.
