Abstract
A fail-safe mechanism for closing the rams in a conventional blowout preventer. The mechanism includes a ram shaft having an enlarged outer end that is exposed to well pressure which exerts a constant closing force. The closing force is opposed by a hydraulic fluid chamber which is evacuated in the event of fire, etc. A floating plug within the ram shaft helps prevent leaks of well fluid from the blowout preventer.
