What are Bowls and Bushings?
In oil and gas drilling, bowls and bushings are essential parts of the rotary table system. They work together to support slips and hold the drill string safely in place.
Bowl – The Main Slip Seat
The bowl is a tapered cavity in the rotary table that provides the seating area for slips. It ensures slips lock firmly and transfer the weight of the drill pipe, casing, or drill collar to the rotary table.
Bushing – The Adapter for Different Sizes
A bushing acts as an adapter between the bowl and the drill pipe. It allows the same bowl to handle different casing or drill pipe sizes by simply changing the insert bushing. This saves time, reduces equipment needs, and increases efficiency.
📌 Main Uses:
-
Holding drill pipe, drill collars, or casing securely
-
Transferring load from the drill string to the rotary table
-
Adapting one bowl to multiple pipe sizes with replaceable bushings
