Tong Torque & Tong Line Pull

Tong Torque Gauges

These gauges (CTT101 Series) display the amount of torque in foot pounds per joint when using power tongs to run oilfield tubular. They are available for all makes and models of power tongs and even dual scale variations are available. The systems come with either compression or tension-type load cells, which provide precision checks of make up torque for all oilfield tubular.

Tong Torque System:

• Compression or tension load cell
• 6” fluid-filled gauge
• 5” hydraulic hose with additional hose length available
• 1 quart of Crown Oilfield Instrumentation all-weather instrument fluid
• Indicates torque in foot pounds applied to each joint when using power tongs to run oilfield tubular.
• Models available for all makes and models of power tongs.
• Tension or Compression style load cells available for use in all power tong configurations.
• Wide variety of capacities available to suit all applications and tong configurations.
• English, Metric or dual scale variations available.

10K to 30K Tong Line Pull Gauges 

The CTT100 Series Tong Line Pull Systems are available from 10,000 to 30,000 single line pull for use in all torquing applications. The universal tong line pull system can be used with a veriety of tong systems and can be moved from rig to rig as needed. When you need a gauge to work in most of your tong applications with a variety of tong handle lenghts, you can trust taht the CTT100 series will provide the best measurement you can get. 

Tong Line Pull System:

• Measures make-up and breakout torque in pounds of line pull.
• 6” fluid filled gauge
• Customizable target pointer that sets to a corresponding torque requirement.
• Models and variations of available to work with all manual tongs.
• Capacities range from 10,000 pounds to 30,000 pounds of line pull. English, metric and dual scale-dial readings are available, as well as customer logos on dial.

 Benefits:

• Durable systems designed to withstand the harsh environments in the oilfield.
• The 6” fluid-filled gauge with easy maintenance and reliability.
• Target pointer on gauge for maintaining accurate torque.
• Box mount or panel mount configurations available.
• Load-sensing sensor in compression or tension-type load cell provides accurate, sensitive readings.
• Gauge dampener assembly reduces pointer oscillations
• Repair kits, gauge glass, seals, diaphragms, gaskets and recharge kits available for quick field repair

To Order Specify:

• Tong make and model.
• Dial capacity and scale required.
• Box or Panel Mount.
• Hose length required if different than standard (5′ for Tong Line Pull series standard and 25′ for Tong Torque series standard).
• Tension or compression type load cell.
