Torque Indicator Systems

Hydraulic torque gauges for power tongs, iron roughnecks and rotary tables.

Torque Indicator Systems
Overview

Matherne's power tong system indicates the torque applied to each joint when running pipe or casing, helping to ensure proper make-up and reduce drill collar and tool joint failures. It comprises a 6-inch tong torque indicator with bracket, a standard 5 ft hose and a tension or compression load cell, and an adjustable target pointer lets the driller work to a clear mark. Iron roughneck torque gauges read make-up and break-out torque on tubular connections.

On the rotary table, the Tru-Torque system uses compression load cells on opposite corners of the table to read torque on the drill string in true ft-lb, calibrated to 2% of full scale. The conventional rotary torque system gives a relative reading in points (500 or 1,000) to help avoid twist-offs during coring, milling and reaming.

Key Features
  • Power tong and iron roughneck capacities up to 120,000 ft-lb
  • Adjustable target pointer for set make-up torque
  • Tension or compression load cells to suit any tong
  • Tru-Torque reads rotary torque in true ft-lb
  • Dual scales in kg·m, N·m and daN·m
  • Fluid-filled indicators with adjustable dampers
Applications
  • Running pipe and casing with power tongs
  • Iron roughneck make-up and break-out
  • Rotary torque monitoring while drilling
