Standardized Process for Oil Rig Brake Pad Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance System

A three-tier maintenance system is recommended based on API RP 54:

Daily Inspection: Measure remaining thickness at each shift change (vernier caliper accuracy 0.02mm)

Monthly Maintenance: Clean friction surfaces and check spring preload

Annual Overhaul: Complete replacement and brake performance test

Typical Troubleshooting Solutions

Abnormal Vibration: Prioritize checking for eccentric brake pad wear

Braking Delay: Check for hydraulic oil contamination or friction coefficient degradation

Abnormal Noise: Often indicates delamination of the friction material
