Inspection of Used Components
4.0 Scope. This section gives inspection require-
ments for used driling specialty tool components. The
requirements herein are not intended to interfere with
oF substitute for a manufacturer's established quality
control checks and inspections on new and repaired
components. Rather, the chapter applies only to spe-
Gaity tool components that have been returned from
service and are being examined to determine if they
212 acceptable for future service.
4.1 Definitions. The following definitions apply:
4.1.1 Acceptance Criteria. The attributes of a used
component that make it acceptable (or unacceptable)
for reassembly into a specialty tool or sub-tool.
4.1.2 Component. A single piece that is employed,
along with other components, to assemble a specialty
tool or sub-tool. Components are divided into several
categories.
@. Expendable component. A component that is
always replaced with a new component upon
disassembly and reassembly of a specialty tool
that has returned from the field.
b. Incidental component. A small part such as a
screw, nut or washer that will be reused without
inspection.
c. New component. A component that has never
been assembled into and used in a specialty tool.
d. Nonconforming component. A component that,
during inspection, fails to meet the required
acceptance criteria.
o
Used component. A component that was part of
a specialty tool that saw field use.
4.1.3 Inspection. Nondestructive examination of
a used component to confirm that it is ready to be
reassembled into a tool or sub-tool.
4.1.4 Inspection Alert Notice. A notice issued to
alert an inspector that an immediate amendment
to or modification of an inspection process or other
document is necessary.
4.1.5 Inspection method. One of several possible
inspection processes that may be applied to a drilling
specialty tool component. For example, "Blacklight
Connection Inspection."
4.1.6 Inspection procedure. A set of written steps
that govern how the inspector performs an inspection
method.
4.1.7 Inspection program. A written outline that
sets down the methods and procedures needed to
qualify the used components in a specialty tool model.
4.1.8 Inspection program designer. The person
who establishes the inspection program for a
specialty tool model (also called "program designer’).
4.1.9 Inspection quality. The probability that an
inspector, when he or she inspects a component, will
correctly accept or reject it.
4.1.10 Inspection record. A document that
accompanies a component and shows the results of
the inspection of that component.
4.1.11 Inspector. A person employed by the vendor
or manufacturer who performs inspection under this
standard. An inspector must be qualified by training
and experience to perform elements of inspection
as outlined in this standard and must have sufficient
fluency in the appropriate language to report results
in an accurate and timely manner.
4.1.12 Key variable. An important aspect of an
inspection process that the inspection program
designer controls through the written inspection
procedure. For example, in Blacklight Connection
Inspection, the optimum direction of the magnetic,
field is a key variable.
4.1.18 Model. (Tool Model). A designation applied
to a set of specialty tools that, for a given size and
configuration, utilize the same components, part
numbers, assembly procedures, testing procedures
and inspection procedures.
4.1.14 Customer's Authorized Representative.
A person employed or contracted by the customer
who verifies compliance to this standard on behalf
of the customer.
4.2 Modification of inspection requirements. Modi-
fication of the inspection requirements in this standard
may only be done under the conditions listed below.

4.2.1 Conflict with vendor's requirements. Where
the requirements of this chapter and the vendor's
requirements for component inspection differ, the
more stringent of the two shall be used.
4.2.2 Other situations. Except as noted above,
no changes to this section may be made except
by written agreement between the vendor and the
customer. For example, neither the customer nor the
customer's authorized representative may tighten the
requirements of this standard without the vendor's,
‘concurrence, and vice versa.
4.3 Vendor responsibility. The vendor is solely re-
sponsible for establishing inspection programs for its
drilling specialty tools and components, including:
4.3.1 Component selection. Deciding if any
specialty tool component is to be inspected.
4.3.2 Methods. Deciding which inspection methods
will be applied to a component.
4.3.3 Procedures. Preparing or having prepared
inspection procedures that will govern the conduct
of each employed method. Inspection procedures for
certain driling specialty tools, sub-tools, components
or areas of components are provided in Chapter
7. In these cases, the vendor is obligated to use
these procedures for compliance with this standard.
The vendor is responsible for developing or having
developed all other inspection procedures by a
person meeting the requirements in paragraph 4.4
and complying with all other requirements of this
chapter and, if applicable Chapter 7.
4.3.4 Acceptance criteria. Determining the
acceptance criteria. Acceptance criteria is provided in
Chapter 7 for certain drilling specialty tools, sub-tools,
components or areas of components. in these cases,
the vendor is obligated to apply these acceptance
criteria for compliance with this standard. For those
criteria not provided in Chapter 7, the vendor is
responsible for establishing the acceptance criteria.
If vendor and manufacturer are different parties,
the vendor shall seek and follow the manufacturer's,
advice in setting acceptance criteria.
4.4 Inspection program designer. The vendor shall
assign a person who shall be responsible for preparing
an inspection program for each covered tool model.
The program designer shall be an employee of the
vendor, though all or part of the work involved in the
design and execution of the inspection program may be
contracted from outside sources. Where the inspection
program designer specifies one of the NDE methods
48
listed below, the inspection procedure in that case
shall be prepared or approved by a person who holds
current ASNT Level III (or equivalent) certification in
the NDE technique specified.
4.4.1 Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT)
4.4.2 Ultrasonic Inspection (UT)
4.4.3 Liquid Penetrant Inspection (PT)
4.4.4 Radiographic Examination (RT)
4.5 Inspection program. The program designer shall
establish a written inspection program for each model
of drilling specialty tool that requires one. An inspection
program is required on a tool model if, upon return of a
tool of that model, one or more of its components may
be used again. An inspection program shall contain all
of the following elements.
4.5.1 Component list. The inspection program
shall list by name and part number all components
in the specialty tool or sub-tool except incidental
‘components.
4.5.2 Selected inspection methods. The inspection
program shall detail the inspection methods (if any)
to be applied on each listed component.
4.53 Inspection procedure(s). if a component is
inspected, the program shall reference or provide
written inspection procedure(s) for every inspection
method applied to that component.
4.5.4 Specific Requirements. If the tool belonas to
‘one of the tool families described in table 7.1, then
the inspection program developed by the vendor
must include the additional inspection procedures.
acceptance criteria and other requirements listed in
Chapter 7 of this standard.

45 Format and availability. The inspection program
may follow the example format given in paragraph
+4 or another format, so long as it is a stand-alone
ocument and incorporates all the required elements.
When requested, the inspection program shall be made
zyailabie to the customer or the customer's authorized
representative at the point of inspection. However,
‘Pe program may not be copied or removed from the
premises without the vendor's approval.
47 Inspection procedures. An inspection procedure
t govem the inspector's action shall be part of the
iespection program for every method that the program
specifies. When the vendor develops a procedure
required in addition to those provided in Chapter 7,
the procedure shall comply with the following template.
4.7.1 Inspection procedure elements. inspection
procedures will vary widely depending upon the
material and geometry of the component being
examined. They will also vary with the type, locations,
orientations and other attributes of the expected flaws,
or damage that the procedure is designed to evaluate.
‘Therefore, specific inspection procedures can not be
given here that will apply in all situations. However,
procedures under this standard shall contain certain
siements. These elements are:
a Scope statement. This statement limits how
broadly the procedure may be applied. At
@ minimum, the statement shall give (1) the
specific inspection method or methods that the
procedure governs, (2) the name or generic
jamily of component(s) the procedure is designed
to evaluate, and (3) what flaws, dimensions,
properties or attributes of the component are being
evaluated by the procedure. Unless the scope
statement meets these tests, the procedure is
nt valid. Example scope statements are given
below.
Procedure 1 - "Scope: This procedure covers
examination of rotary shouldered connections
for transverse flaws using the ultrasonic
compression wave technique." (Valid)
Procedure 2- "Scope: This procedure covers
examination of specialty too! components by
the ultrasonic compression wave technique.”
(Invalid - specific components not cited, specific
measured/evaluated attributes not cited.)
Furthermore, for the procedure to be valid, the
scope statement of the inspection procedure
shall state that the procedure is applicable to the
specific component or family of components to
which the program designer is applying it. For
example, procedure 1 above is valid if itis applied
on rotary shouldered connections, but would be
invalid if the program designer specified it for
another type of component. This rule precludes
the program designer from referencing inspection
procedures in terms that are not component-
‘specific, such as the following.
?erform dry MPI in accordance with ASTM
709-01." (invalid - ASTM E709-01 does not
address specific component material and
geometry.)
b. Apparatus statement. This statement lists the
required tools, gauges and instruments the
inspector will need to conduct the inspection
procedure. If any calibration or standardization
steps are required on inspection instruments,
these steps shall also be detailed in the procedure,
or the procedure is not valid.
©. Instructions. Step-by-step instructions shall
be written to guide the inspector through the
inspection process from beginning to end. In
this manner, the program designer will control
the inspector's actions to yield the best chance
that the inspection will correctly evaluate all
those attributes that are of interest to the program
designer. In addition, a valid inspection procedure
shall address and control the applicable key
variables for the method in use.
d. Acceptance criteria. The procedure shall give
acceptance criteria for the component.
e. Disposition. The procedure shall give instructions
governing the disposition of nonconforming
components.
f. Records. The procedure shall detail the written
inspection records required upon completion of
the inspection.
4.7.2 Key variables. Assigning values for key
variables in inspection procedures can be properly
done only by the program designer who will know the
particulars of component material and geometry, as
well as expected flaw location, orientation and shape.
Key variables that the program designer is required
to consider when designing an inspection procedure
are given in tables 4.1 - 4.10. Having considered
the listed variables for the method being employed,
the program designer is free to assign to each one
a value that is appropriate under the circumstances.
