Question 4265 Deck General
70% to passThe Cantilever Beam Load Chart for the COASTAL DRILLER shows the load limits in the hook, setback, conductor tension, and _______________.
The correct answer is C) rotary loads. The Cantilever Beam Load Chart for the COASTAL DRILLER would include the load limits in the hook, setback, conductor tension, and rotary loads. Rotary loads refer to the loads on the rotary table, which is the mechanism that turns the drill pipe and drill bit during the drilling operation. This is a critical component that needs to be accounted for in the load chart to ensure the stability and safety of the drilling rig. The other options are incorrect because wave loads and wind loads are not directly measured on the Cantilever Beam Load Chart, which focuses on the structural components of the drilling rig. Pipe rack loads, while important, are not a specific item listed on the Cantilever Beam Load Chart.
