A scraper, rock drilling unit, and a method of cleaning a feed beam of a rock drilling unit is provided. The scraper includes a scraper element and a bracket mountable to the feed beam. The bracket provides the scraper element with a floating support. There is at least one force element provided for generating a force for moving the scraper element in relation to the bracket.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cleaning an oil and gas well riser section or assembly. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to an improved method and apparatus for cleaning oil and gas well riser sections wherein a specially configured cap or pair of caps are fitted to the ends of the riser which enable pressure washing cleaning tools (or a camera) to be inserted into and through the riser cleaner fluid continuously recirculates so that relatively small volume of cleaning fluid (for example between about 700 and 1,000 gallons) is required. The cleaning process uses a volume of cleaning fluid that is discharged from the riser pipe at a relatively high temperature of about between 100 and 180° F. Such a high temperature cleaning fluid could possibly damage the pump that is used for supplying pressurized fluid to the cleaning tool. The present invention provides a method and apparatus for enabling continuous recirculation of fluid to the cleaning tool at a flow rate of between about 7 and 12 gallons per minute while lowering the temperature to about 60° F.

A lubrication device, a lubrication system and a method are for applying a lubricant from a lubricating-fluid reservoir to an internal threaded portion of a pipe body. The lubrication device includes: a rotary device having: first and second coupling parts, and fluid passage for carrying the lubricant from the first coupling part to the second coupling part. The first and the second coupling parts are arranged to rotate relative to each other around an axis that coincides in the main with the longitudinal axis of the pipe body. An applicator body is connected to the second coupling part to allow rotation around the rotational axis of the rotary device. The applicator body has a fluid passage with an outlet for carrying the fluid to the applicator surface as the fluid passage in the applicator body is in fluid communication with a corresponding fluid passage in the rotary device.

The pipe wiper assembly of the present invention assists with wiping the pipe as the pipe is removed from the hole (“tripped out”). The pipe passes through the two pipe apertures of the pipe wiper assembly during the removal. Two upper containment arms adjust between an open position and a closed position within the housing to form the upper pipe aperture. The lower containment lip forms the lower piper aperture. The upper containment arms and lower containment lip partially enclose the housing to prevent the wiper from exiting the wiper storage. The containment arms slideably adjust to eliminate the need for hinges. The removal of the hinges provides for easier storage and transportation of the pipe wiper assembly. The removal of hinges also reduces manufacturing costs of the pipe wiper assembly.
