Product description

The closing and sealing component on a blowout preventer. One of three types – blind, pipe, or shear – may be installed in several preventers mounted in a stack on top of the wellbore. Blind rams, when closed, form a seal on a hole that has no drill pipe in it; pipe rams, when closed, seal around the pipe; shear rams cut through drill pipe and then form a seal. See blind ram, pipe ram, and shear ram.
