What is a Torque Monitoring System?

A Torque Control System is a system that is used to measure the torque and turn values when making up connections (Casing, Tubular, & Drill Pipe). Any flaws if present in the connections will show up in the graphs readily. 

Tangram Technology Torque/Turn Computer Control System helps to make-up API threaded tubing and casing to a preset quality standard to prevent leakages. By monitoring the torque against pipe turns, defective connection can be detected early. 

The new TorqueChart Series 9000 is an upgrade to the Series 932. It comes with a industry's Fastest computer with the quickest response time. That means you can attain unprecedented quality control and safety standards. With a optional built-in database management system, you can find out the status of the job with a click of the button. From the Statistical data of the report, you can save millions by troubleshooting the production process promptly. Make-up data can be stored in three different ways to enhance data security and to mitigate risk of data lost. Archive of data is Easier, Faster and more Secured than never before.

Although designed to work with the new NewMatic Series 9000 Tong, the TorqueChart Series 9000 Torque/Turn Computer Control System is so versatile that it can be customized quickly to adapt to any other tong. To achieve consistency and quality, the high speed Series 9000 Computer Control System ensures only the preset optimum torque is applied on every joint.

The entire making up process will be tracked and displayed graphically real-time. By analyzing the curve of torque build-up against turns, an operator can detect irregularities in joints such as oval pipes, thread defects, damaged shoulder etc.

Any flaws are detected early in the production process saving time, reducing costs and achieving a higher safety standard

TorqueChart Series 9000 Computer Control System uses the familiar Window interface. Technicians can learn to operate with the minimal training. Using a combination of mouse and keyboard for inputs, even a novice user can race through the program in seconds.

Computer Control System drives up productivity enhances reliability and most importantly improves the safety in one very cost effective package.
