International ClassE21B 47/06AbstractThe consequences of any failure of a blow out preventer assembly to operate correctly in an emergency can be far reaching. Thus, there is provided an apparatus for registering parameters in the bore of a member which is, in use, connected to a pressurised housing, the apparatus comprising: an electro-control package for attachment, in use, to the member; a test assembly placed, in use, in the member; the electro-control package and the test assembly having means for sending signals to and receiving signals from one another.Other References
