Tong Line Pull Gauges and Tong Torque Gauges both tell the operator the amount of torque being applied to oilfield tongs; however, they perform this necessary task differently.  Although they both measure the force applied to the pipe in make up and break out situations, how they measure this force is what makes these two gauges different.  Knowing which tong gaugewill work best for your application and employees is all important in selecting a tong gauge.

The biggest difference between these two gauges is how and what they measure.  A tong line pull gauge measures true force (force/pounds), so what you see on the gauge is exactly what’s being applied to the pipe.  Basically, it’s the what-you-see-is-what-you-get gauge.  A tong torque gauge, on the other hand, measures the force that is being applied to the load cell and reads this force in foot/pounds. A more detailed explanation of both gauges follows.

A tong line pull gauge is universal.  As long as the tong is a manual tong, a tong line pull gauge will fit on any hydraulic tong system.  No matter what the tong’s handle length, a tong line pull gauge will measure force/pounds.  The advantage to these gauges is that because they are universal, they can be used on any manual tong system. For example, you have two tongs, one with a 48 inch handle, and one with a 36 inch handle. You can use a tong line pull gauge with each tong, either the 48 inch handle or 36 inch handle, and measure the force pounds being applied to the drill pipe.  Having this gauge on hand can be very useful when you have to move from different manual tong systems with different handle lengths. These systems, consisting of gauge, hose, and load cell, are great for the driller who wants to measure force/pounds on a variety of manual tongs.

Handle lengths are measured from the center of the tong to the end of the handle.  If this measurement is in inches, it will need to be converted to feet in order to find max torque.

Tong torque gauges can be used on manual tongs or power tongs, but the handle length must never change because these gauges are not universal.  A tong torque gauge is calibrated to a specific tong handle length and thus reads in foot/pounds instead of force/pounds.  The advantage to the gauge readings being foot/pounds is that the driller does not have to convert the gauge measurement in order to know the foot pounds being imposed on the drill string. By doing the math beforehand, the driller will avoid any miscalculations that could cause possible twistoffs.  The calculations are completed when the system is calibrated, taking the worry out of the driller’s hands and making the measurement of torque easier in the field. These systems, consisting of gauge, hose, and load cell, are great for the driller who wants to measure foot pounds without calculations in the field.

KT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongSetup & Operation1. Inspection Of SlingsFarr Canada Corp. strongly recommends the following practices:A complete inspection of new load-bearing devices and attachments shall be performed by a qualified, designated personprior to initial use. Each link and component shall be examined individually, taking care to expose and examine all surfacesincluding the inner link surface. The sling shall be examined for conditions such as those listed in the removal criteria below.In addition, daily inspection of slings, fastenings and attachments shall be performed by a designated person. If damage ordefects are found at either inspection, the damaged or defective component shall be quarantined from service until it canbe properly repaired or replaced.Removal Criteria:A load-bearing device shall be removed from service if conditions such as the following are present:• Missing or illegible sling identification.• Cracks or breaks• Evidence of tampering is seen - sling tag has been modified or obscured, or tamper-proof nuts are missing.• Signs of impact on load-bearing components, including spreader bars, lifting lugs, rigid slings & rigid sling weldments,and legs & leg mounts.• Broken or damaged welds.• Excessive wear, nicks, or gouges.

Repair orreplace components that appear distorted. Ensure all hardware is tight and in good condition. Replace missing hardwareif necessary. All hardware must be free of rust and corrosion.Additional inspections shall be performed during sling use where service conditions warrant. Periodic inspection intervalsshall not exceed one year. The frequency of periodic inspections should be based on:• Frequency of use of the load-bearing device.• Severity of service conditions• Nature of lifts being made• Experience gained on the service life of load-bearing devices used in similar circumstances.Guidelines for the interval are:• Normal Service: Yearly• Severe Service: Monthly to quarterly• Special Service: As recommended by a qualified person2.2Section ContentsTechnical Manual

For the purposes of this standard, a substantial repair or modification is defined as any repair and/ormodification that has been carried out which may, in the opinion of the inspection body, affect the loadbearingelements of the container or lifting device, or elements that contribute directly to its structuralintegrity.IF MECHANICAL DAMAGE IS SEEN OR SUSPECTED ON A LOAD-BEARING DEVICE, ORIF THE LOAD-BEARING DEVICE HAS BEEN OVERLOADED, IT MUST BE REMOVED FROMSERVICE AND QUARANTINED UNTIL RECERTIFIEDWritten records of the most recent periodic inspection shall be maintained, and shall include the condition of the sling.2. Proper Use Of Load-Bearing DevicesWhenever any load-bearing device is used, the following practices shall be observed.• Load-bearing devices that are damaged or defective shall not be used.• Slings shall not be shortened with knots or bolts or other makeshift devices.• Sling legs shall not be kinked.• Load-bearing devices shall not be loaded in excess of their rated capacities.• Slings shall be securely attached to their load.• Load-bearing devices shall be protected from snagging, and shall not be further obstructed by any object.• Suspended loads shall be kept clear of all obstruction.• All employees shall be kept clear of loads about to be lifted and of suspended loads.• Hands or fingers shall not be placed between the sling and its load while the sling is being tightened around the load.• Shock loading is prohibited.• Do not stand directly under a load during lifting.3. Storage Of Load-Bearing DevicesProper storage of out-of-service load bearing devices is important to ensure full integrity of the device once it is returnedto service. Farr recommends observing the following practices:• Wipe off all excess grease. Use a solvent-based cleaner on rags to wipe all external surfaces to remove residualgrease or hydraulic fluid. Once the outside surfaces have been de-greased, wipe all external surfaces with clean waterto remove residual solvent.• Farr recommends that an anti-corrosive agent such as Tectyl ® 506 be applied to all external surfaces. Refer to manufacturerdata sheets for proper application and safety information. Allow the anti-corrosive coating ample time to dry- refer to manufacturer data sheets for drying times at room temperature.• Store in a clean, dry location. When returning to service, note that a full inspection of the device must be performed.Technical ManualSection Contents 2.3

Suspension & RestraintSuspend the tong from a location as near to the centre of the drill rotary as possible, and from a location high enough onthe mast to ensure easy handling. The lower the point from which the tong is suspended, the more effort will be requiredto move the tong to and from the connection point.The suspension line may be extended over a pulley and balanced by a counterweight equal to the weight of the tong, orsimply tied off in the derrick to form a dead line. When using a dead line arrangement it is necessary to use a FARR springhanger assembly (see specification page for recommended spring hanger). This spring hanger compensates for the downwardmovement of the casing as the thread is made-up, and imparts additional force to the suspension cable:• a “single spring” hanger typically applies 420 lbs. (191 kg.) to the suspension line for every inch of thread made up• a “double spring” hanger typically applies 840 lbs. (382 kg.) to the suspension line for every inch of thread made upIf you do not know which specific spring hanger is in use, check the specification page in this manual for information on therecommended spring hanger for this application. McCoy Drilling & Completions will not guarantee or specify spring hangersother than what has been supplied by McCoy.Many applications use a lift cylinder for adjusting the height of the tong. Ensure the weight of the lift cylinder is known if ithas not been included in the total weight of the tong.All forces upon the suspension line must be considered when calculating necessary strength of the suspension line. Theweight of the tong, the weight of the lift cylinder, the weight of the spring hanger, and the force imparted on the suspensionline by the spring hanger must all be added together in order to arrive at the total force supported by the suspension line.Select your suspension line based upon the total force and the margins of safety dictated by the policies of your companyand by established engineering practices. Ultimately, calculating the force on the suspension line and selection of the suspensionline is the complete responsibility of the customer.McCoy Drilling & Completions recommends using dual backup (snub) lines of sufficient strength to withstand the forceimparted by the maximum rated torque of the tong in use. Calculate the force on the snub lines by dividing the maximumtorque of the tong by the tong’s torque arm (expressed in feet). For example, an 18,000 lbs.-ft. tong with a 31 inch (2.583ft.) torque arm will generate 6968.6 lbs. of force against the snub line. Select your snub lines based upon the total forceand the margins of safety dictated by the policies of your company and by established engineering practices. Ultimately,calculating the force on the snub line and selection of the snub line is the complete responsibility of the customer.Technical ManualSection Contents 2.11

KT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongSetup & OperationSuspension & Restraint (Cont’d)Snub lines must be securely connected to the rear of the tong, and tied off to a suitable anchor. One snub line must besecured to the load cell, which is then secured to the rear of the tong. The side of the tong the load cell connects to isdependant upon whether make-up or break-out activities are underway. To ensure accurate torque measurement, thetorque measurement line must be connected perpendicular to the lengthwise axis of the tong, and perpendicular to thehang line (see illustrations 2.F.1 and 2.F.2). Connect the second snub line on the opposite side of the load cell, perpendicularto the lengthwise axis of the tong and perpendicular to the vertical.FARR CANADA CORP.

Setup & OperationKT-9625 9- 5 / 8” Tong2. Tong LevelingThe tong must be leveled side-to-side and front-to-rear before placing into service. The following guidelines will assist youwhen leveling your tong.i. Place a level axially (side to side) across the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong. Use a thinwrench on the flat of the adjusting helix to rotate the helix, forcing the lift link to move towards the outer supports ofthe sling. The 3/4” nylock nut on the pin may have to be slightly loosened to allow the helix to rotate. Adjust the helixuntil the level shows that the tong is level side-to-side.Rotate helixusing flat3/4” Nylock nut mayhave to be loosenedii.Illustration 2.F.3: Tong Leveling (Side-To-Side)Place a level lengthwise (front to back) along the tong, ensuring that it is parallel with the surface of the tong. Loosenthe 1/2” jam nuts on the adjusting bolts on rigid sling brackets. Completely loosen the adjusting bolts. Turn eachadjusting bolt equally until tong hangs level front-to-back.

KT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongSetup & OperationG. TONG OPERATION1. Initial Start-up and Break-in ProcedureYOUR EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED AND INSPECTED AT THEFACTORY. HOWEVER, WE ADVISE INSPECTION AND TESTING OF YOUR NEW TONGAFTER TAKING POSSESSION IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SHIPPINGDAMAGE.McCoy Completions & Drilling recommends that the following pre-operating tests be performed after receipt from the factoryor after extended storage, prior to releasing the tong to operations:• Perform a complete inspection of all fasteners to ensure none have loosened during transport.• Connect the tong to the power unit, and apply full hydraulic pressure. Inspect and correct any leaks.• Operate the tong at full speed and in high gear for a duration of one-half hour. Hot bearing caps may indicate impendingbearing failure.• Switch to low gear and operate for an additional one-half hour at full speed.• Run the backup through several clamp/un-clamp sequences to ensure functionality.• Inspect all components and hydraulic fittings for possible defects following completion of the tests. All FARR Tongshave been thoroughly tested at the factory prior to shipping, but shipping damage must be identified before running thetong in an operational environment.• Carefully inspect the safety door components, and test to ensure that the safety device on each door is operating correctlybefore releasing the tong to the operating environment.TONG DOOR MUST BE CLOSED AND SECURELY LATCHED BEFORE THE POWER UNIT ISSTARTED IN ORDER TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF OPERATING PERSONNELEnsure adequate lube oil and hydraulic oil levels before starting engine. Use start up procedures as recommended by thepower unit engine operator’s manual. Open the Bypass Valve on the hydraulic system, and inspect all pressure and returnline hose connections to ensure correct and secure installation.IMPROPERLY SECURED HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS WILL INTERRUPT HYDRAULIC FLUID FLOW, ANDCOULD RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING FAILURES:• A restriction in the pressure supply hose will result in high pressure within the power unit hydraulic system, whichwill activate the hydraulic governor and increase the engine speed to as high as maximum RPM.• A restriction in the return line will result in high pressure within the power unit and the tong hydraulic system, causingengine speeds as high as maximum RPM, and possible failure of the motor seal.Following inspection of the hoses, start the engine and allow it to idle until warm. Allow hydraulic fluid to circulate forapproximately 10 minutes, then slowly close the Bypass Valve to allow hydraulic fluid to circulate through the hoses andto the tong (circulating pressure should not exceed 200 psi). Place the tong gear shifter in low gear and rotate the tongslowly forward and then reverse with the throttle valve control lever. Once this has been done and the proper size jawshave been installed, the tong is then ready to run pipe.2. Valve Operation4-way proportional valves control operation of hydraulic devices on the tong assembly such as hydraulic motors and cylinders.When any one valve is “centered” or in the detent position, there is no hydraulic output from the valve. When thevalve is pushed forward there is an effect, and when the valve is pulled back, there is an opposite effect. These valvesfeature proportional control, which means that further extension of the valve handle (thereby further opening the valveorifice) results in proportionally higher hydraulic output to the controlled device.The following illustration demonstrates the type and effect of the hydraulic valves with which this tong is may be equipped.2.14Section ContentsTechnical Manual

Setup & OperationKT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongTONG MOTORThis is a proportional valve. Pushing the valve handle forward will cause the tong motor to rotate in a clockwise direction(as seen from the top of the tong). This is the desired direction of rotation for making up a joint. Pulling the valve handle inthe opposite direction results in counter-clockwise rotation, which is the desired direction of rotation for breaking out a joint.Illustration 2.G.1: Tong Rotation Control ValveLIFT CYLINDERThis is a direct-acting valve. Pushing the valve handle forward will cause the lift cylinder to lift the tong vertically. Pullingthe valve handle in the opposite direction will cause the lift cylinder to lower the tong.Illustration 2.G.2: Tong Lift Cylinder Control ValveTechnical ManualSection Contents 2.15

KT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongSetup & OperationMOTOR SPEEDThis valve sets the speed of the two-speed motor. Pulling the motor speed control all the way out sets the motor speed toLOW. Maximum torque is only available when the motor speed is set to LOW. Pushing the valve handle towards the centreof the tong sets the motor speed to HIGH, which is useful for rapidly un-threading broken connections.Low SpeedHigh SpeedIllustration 2.G.3: Tong Motor Speed Control Valve3. Shifting GearsThe shifting shaft has three “detent” positions identifying the low speed/high torque position, the “neutral” or free-spinningposition, and the high speed/low torque position. The detent strength may be adjusted by releasing the locknut on thedetent tube and increasing or relaxing pressure on the detent spring. Ensure the locknut is tightened once the desireddetent pressure has been set.To shift to the high-speed gear, move the shifting handle upward from neutral position. To shift to the low-speed gear, movethe shifting handle down through the neutral detent to its lowest position. Note that the high clutch gear or the low clutchgear may not be exactly aligned when shifting, so the operator may need to “bump” the motor control handle slightly toturn the main clutch gear shaft and shifting collar into alignment. This is most effective when applying a small amount ofpressure on the gear shift lever in the direction you want to shift the tong, ensuring the shifting collar will “catch” when themain clutch gear aligns with either the high or low clutch gear (see Illustration 2.G.4 next page).SHIFTING TONG WHILE ROTATING THE MOTOR AND CAGE PLATE MAY RESULT INCATASTROPHIC GEAR TRAIN FAILURE2.16Section ContentsTechnical Manual

Setup & OperationKT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongLIFT HANDLE TOSHIFT TO HIGH GEARPUSH HANDLE DOWNTO SHIFT TO LOW GEARIllustration 2.G.4: Tong Manual Shift Control4. General Commentsa) Position rotary gear in contact with both idler gears when breaking out joints or collars where high torques arerequired.b) When making-up integral (shouldered) joints, it is essential to make up the last turn of the threads in low gear. Thisreduces the tendency of an instant stop or a sudden increase in torque, which induces extremely high stresses on thegear train.c) DO NOT employ the “snap break” method of breaking-out joints when pulling a string. By definition, the “snap break”method is a procedure used by some operators to break out connections, accomplished by leaving slack in the “jawpipe”engagement, and then quickly pulling the throttle valve control lever allowing the tong to snap into its loaded orhigh torque condition. Although this method is very effective in breaking out joints, the extremely high stress placedon the gear train frequently causes gear breakage.Technical ManualSection Contents 2.17

Making A Connectiona) Ensure hydraulic power supply to the tong is energized. The master link on the rigid sling must be used to suspendthe tong. Do not suspend the tong directly from the rigid sling.Illustration 2.H.1: Master Lifting LinkTHE MASTER LINK MUST BE USED TO SUSPEND THE TONG ASSEMBLYb) Ensure the backing pin is in the “makeup” position. From the front of the tong, the backing pin correctly configured formakeup will be in the 10 o’clock position (see Illustration 2.H.2 next page). If it is not, simply lift up and place in thecorrect position (see Illustration 2 next page).

Setup & OperationKT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongMaking A Connection (Continued)Illustration 2.H.2: Setting Backing Pin To “Make-up” Positionc) Ensure the load cell and snub line(s) are properly configured for making up connections. The “snub line” is a lengthof wire rope that connects the rear of the tong body to a sturdy anchor on the drill floor (see Section 2.F.1). The snubline prevents the tong body from spinning in the opposite direction of the cage plate when torque begins to build in thejoint. The snub line must be rated for the applied torque plus whatever safety margins stated by your own operatingpolicies. The snub line connection point on the drill floor must be sturdy enough to absorb all applied forces whenmaking up the joints. When making up joints the snub line is attached to the driller’s side of the tong, which is the leftside of the tong as seen from the rear. For accurate torque measurement the snub line must be perpendicular to thevertical, and perpendicular to the centre-line of the tong.d) Actuate the lift cylinder control valve to lift the assembly from the drill floor. Pushing the valve toward the center of thetong will retract the lift cylinder to lift the assembly (see Illustration 2.H.3 below). Note that rig personnel are requiredto stabilize the tong and backup as it is being lifted so it does not swing and collide with other rig equipment.RIG PERSONNEL MUST STABILIZE THE TONG AS IT IS LIFTED FROM THE DRILL FLOORIllustration 2.H.3: Lift Cylinder Control - RaiseTechnical ManualSection Contents 2.19

MaintenanceKT-9625 9- 5 / 8” TongMcCoy Completions & Drilling recognizes that minor on-site repairs and modifications are required to maintain peak operating conditionof your equipment, or to match your equipment with the operating environment. Examples of minor repairs are• replacement of damaged hydraulic hoses and fittings.• replacement of malfunctioning pressure gauges and valves.• replacement of door cylinders• replacement of fastenersAny replaced component must be an identical component supplied by McCoy Completions & Drilling. Replaced fasteners must beGrade 8 or equivalent, or whatever fastener is specified by McCoy.A. GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY PRACTICESThe practices identified here are intended as a guideline. All personnel are responsible for performing their tasks in a mannerthat ensures worker, equipment, and environmental safety, and may require taking additional steps that are not identified inthis section.Equipment maintenance shall be performed only by designated qualified maintenance personnel. Wear approved eye wearand foot wear, and follow all of your company’s safety guidelines Do not begin a maintenance task without the proper tools ormaterials on hand, or the proper drawings and documentation necessary.Schedule planned maintenance with operators to avoid conflicts, unnecessary downtime, and the danger of accidental equipmentactivation. Notify operations when maintenance procedures are complete and equipment functionality is restored.Isolate the location of the maintenance under way to prevent unaware personnel from inadvertently exposing themselves to ahazard. Use tape, rope, or signs to clearly indicate “off-limits” area.Replacement of large, heavy individual parts and/or heavy structural components must be performed using an approved liftingdevice of sufficient lifting capacity. Use care when attaching the lifting device, and safeguard area to avoid endangering personnelor equipment.All spare parts must meet or exceed OEM specifications in order to maintain equipment integrity, especially protective equipmentMcCoy recommends that disconnection of hydraulic connectors be performed with the power unit off and the hydraulic circuitdepressurized.Your equipment uses materials that may be harmful to the environment if improperly disposed of (hydraulic fluid, grease, etc.).Dispose of all materials according to your company’s proscribed environmental protection regulations.B. CLEANINGClean tong thoroughly cleaned with a good petroleum-based cleaning agent after each job, prior to storage. Farr recommendsthat the motor and valve assembly be periodically removed, along with the top tong plate, so that guides, rollers and gears canbe properly cleaned. Ensure that cleaning solvents and chemicals are captured to prevent environmental contamination, anddispose of all materials according to your company’s proscribed environmental protection regulations.C. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCERegular maintenance programs are necessary, and must be established to assure safe, dependable operation of your HydraulicTubular Connection System and to avoid costly breakdown maintenance. The following maintenance procedures providesinformation required to properly maintain your equipment. Your equipment may require more, or less maintenance dependingupon the frequency of use and the field conditions under which your equipment operates. These maintenance procedures aredesigned for equipment operating at 10°C to 35°C ambient temperature for 10 hours per day. McCoy recommends that theinspection and maintenance procedures in this section be performed as recommended in the maintenance checklists (seeAppendices), or in conjunction with your maintenance foreman’s experience and best estimate of when your equipment is duefor this maintenance.Purchased components included with your hydraulic tubular connection equipment (for example: motors, valves, etc.) mayspecify maintenance tasks and intervals over and above what McCoy recommends as part of their recommended procedures.Users of this equipment may choose to perform or ignore these additional tasks at their discretion.Premature fouling of particulate filters within your prime mover or ancillary hydraulic power unit requires immediate hydraulicfluid laboratory analysis to prevent premature wear of hydraulic system due to high levels of wear metals in the fluid.McCoy Completions & Drilling recommends tracking all maintenance activity including the lubrication schedule. This may be asimple as keeping a paper log, or using a software-based maintenance tracking utility. A maintenance log is a valuable tool thatcan be used for easily retrieving maintenance history or identifying trends that require correction.Technical ManualSection Contents 3.1
