VBR Variable-Bore Ram

Brand: Cameron

Cameron VBR variable-bore rams enable sealing a standard BOP on several different pipe diameters.

The rams’ mechanism of closure is similar to standard pipe ram packers. The packers extend forward of the ram body faces.

When the rams are closed, the packers contact each other on the leading surfaces at the sides of the pipe bore.

As the rams continue to close, the rubber and specially designed inserts in the packers are displaced inward to close the packers around the pipe.
