6" POWER TONG INDICATOR

Matherne Instrumentation's power tong system is designed to assure uniform and proper make-up of the string by indicating accurate torque applied to each joint when running pipe or casing

The system can help reduce drill collar and tool joint failure resulting from improper make-up .

The system includes 6" tong torque indicator with bracket, a standard 5 ft. hose, and a tension or compression load cell.

The convenient mounting design allows the gauge to be mounted in a driller's console, in a weight indicator box, locally on the power tong, or stand alone.

The 6" dial face is availiable with combination dual scales for added versatility.

FEATURES:

  • 6" dial face with colorful custom logos
  • Standard capacities up to 120,000 ft/lbs
  • Box mount or panel mount styles available
  • Dual scales and metric equivalents in kg/m, N-m, DaN-m, and KP-m are available
  • Adjustable target pointer can be set to the desired capacity so the driller can work to a clear mark
  • Loadcells available in tension or compression models to accommodate any tong design.

ADVANTAGES:

  • Easily visible 6" dial face allows clear viewing from long distances
  • Easily mounted in various locations: driller's console, weight indicator box, on the tong, or stand alone
  • Fluid filled indicator reduces shock, vibration, and corrosion
  • Adjustable damper allows for smooth pointer movement under intense situations
  • The tension cylinder includes a fully machined stainless steel piston rod that gives added protection against harsh saltwater environments, ensuring a long service life and minimum maintenance

ORDERING SPECIFICATIONS:

6" TONG LINE PULL INDICATOR

Matherne Instrumentation's tong line pull system is designed to give accurate readings for makeup and breakout torque for all tool joints, drill collars, and drill string components.

The system is useful in applications where the user wants to use the system on multiple tongs with different length tong handles. To obtain the ft/lbs equal to the lbs reading on the indicator, the operator simply multiplies the lbs reading of the indicator by the tong handle length (in feet) currently in use.

The system includes 6" tong line pull indicator with bracket, a standard 25 ft. hose, and tension cylinder.

The convenient mounting design allows the gauge to be mounted in a driller's console, in a weight indicator box, locally on the tong, or stand alone.

FEATURES:

  • 6" dial face with colorful custom logos
  • Standard capacities up to 30,000 lbs of straight line pull
  • Box mount or panel mount styles available
  • Metric equivalents in kg, DaN, and KN of line pull are available
  • Adjustable target pointer can be set to a line pull capacity that corresponds to the desired torque so the driller can work to a clear mark

ADVANTAGES:

  • Easily visible 6" dial face allows clear viewing from long distances
  • Easily mounted in various locations: driller's console, weight indicator box, on the tong, or stand alone
  • Fluid filled indicator reduces shock, vibration, and corrosion
  • Adjustable damper allows for smooth pointer movement under intense situations
  • The tension cylinder includes a fully machined stainless steel piston rod that gives added protection against harsh saltwater environments, ensuring a long service life and minimum maintenance

ORDERING SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Capacity of Indicator
  • Length of Hose
  • Type of Tension Cylinder
  • Style of Indicator
