DAC Worldwide’s Blowout Preventer (BOP) Cutaway (295-716) depicts the sectioned blowout preventer, which allows for realistic and convenient classroom training in the operation, construction, and maintenance of this common oilfield safety device. The full-size, fully-detailed example of a blowout preventer assembly gives learners a first-hand view into a component that is found in oilfield applications worldwide.
Through carefully planned sectioning and color-coding, the complete internal configuration of the BOP is exposed and showcased. Seal features and hardware locations have been retained, allowing for “hands-on” training in maintenance. These “crush valves”, commonly used in oil & gas production applications at the wellhead, would be of interest to those involved in oil & gas production operations training as well as oilfield maintenance training.

This Blowout Preventer Cutaway provides a realistic introduction to its components and their fit-up. The common pump components are industrial-grade, mimicking what students might encounter on the job in the petroleum industry. The cutaways are procured from industrial surplus, and common brands and models are chosen for industrial relevancy.
The cutaway features a steel-welded, heavy-duty support stand with a specialized strategic viewing window. That opening allows for full visibility of above-ground and sub-surface components, all while stabilizing the complete assembly. Hi-capacity locking casters are also provided for mobility.
To make the learning process even more productive, the BOP Cutaway’s internal surfaces, seats, and ram use contrasting colors to easily differentiate between internal components. Replacement hardware has also been installed, where required, to ensure the equipment has long-lasting capabilities. Finally, the cutaway has been cleaned, primed, and painted using a high-durability urethane coating to stand up to frequent use.
The Blowout Preventer Cutaway is only one of DAC Worldwide’s expansive petroleum training cutaways, including the Lift Check Valve Cutaway, Oilfield-Type (#295-717), the Surface Safety Valve (SSC) Cutaway – Pneumatic-Type (#295-719P), the Oilfield Pressure Gauge Cutaway (#295-721), and more!
