TONG LINE PULL SYSTEMS

Provides Accurate Measurement Systems that Reduce Drill Collar and Tool Failure

Acadiana Oilfield Instruments'

Tong Line Pull System with tension load cell is important in reducing drill collar and toll joint failure. Tong Line Pull Systems indicate the applied torque to each joint when the tongs are used to make up pipe, tubing, casing joints or drill collars. Torque gauges indicate line pull that can be converted to foot pounds with wide range of capacities.
Drillers-Console
Each system requires a Tension Load Cell which is used to convert line pull into a pressure-sensing indicator gauge using a hydraulic hose. Mounting hardware is included as well.
Benefits
  • Reduce Drill Collar and Tool Joint Failure
  • Target pointer gets set to the required torque giving the driller a clear target mark
  • Get indications every time collars are run or for a one time check
  • Gauge fluid protects the internals and insures an accurate measurement
  • Durable load cell comes with a piston and cylinder for maximum service life
