eckel power tong dies in stock
Tong dies have come a long way since tongs became commonplace in the oilfields. Eckel has been at the forefront of this developing technology with the development of larger wrap-around type dies for many of its tong models. We offer coarse tooth design and fine tooth design depending on the application.
Wrap-Around Dies are considered the best choice for thinner wall tubulars where point loading is a concern. Wrap-Around Dies are symmetrically spaced from each other at all times insuring an equally distributed load on the tubular. Having a larger gripping surface area allows more teeth to come in contact with the tubular. Wrap-Around Dies come in any size to match tubing and casing tubulars and API coupling diameters. Wrap-Around dies are available with the following surface areas:
Coated True Grit® Dies: Used on chrome and fiberglass tubulars where reduced die penetration and die marking is greatly. For more information see the True Grit® Dies section.
Eckel offers contour type dies for tubing sizes on many of our tongs which use pivot heads. In addition to our contour dies, we provide A and S series wrap-around dies for our 13-3/8 and 20 Standard casing tongs, providing a larger gripping area and reducing pipe damage. Rig type dies are used extensively for 4-inches and above. Sliding heads with rig dies is the best choice when running drill pipe connections.

Rig Dies (Typically 1" and 1-1/4" wide) are available in coarse tooth die are typically used for casing and drill pipe where tool joint O.D. sizes vary from joint to joint. Also, Drill Pipe is also a harder steel and rig dies provide a more aggressive and better grip. Rig dies are available with the following surface areas:

I am chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Eckel International, the largest global providers of innovative and high performance hydraulic power tongs for the oil and gas industry. I am a second-generation family member involved in manufacturing of tongs. In 1993, as Eckel’s president, I launched an initiative to further reach out to Russia’s oil & gas needs. Today, I am directly responsible for the overall operations of the company, sales, and new market initiatives.
Since 1958 Eckel has been supplying power tongs to the worlds O&G industries– but how long have you been doing business in Russia and what specific solutions do you offer to the region?
Eckel has been conducting business in Russia since the 1978. In 1993, Eckel established an ongoing presence in Russia with CETCO as our local business partner. CETCO further extended our business across Russia & CIS as our local agent. We have observed strength in the Russia and CIS market, with solutions for drill pipe and casing operations.
Eckel specializes in the development of hydraulic power tongs for make-up and break-out of tubulars, with over 60 years of tubular connection experience. Our industry leading technology advancements are in some respects, a reflection on the industry requirements and their needs. Eckel has been in the process of designing tongs that required very high torques, advanced safety features, and automation.
Eckel in-house heating provides quality tempered steel while observing strict industry standards. This process assures high quality and rugged durable parts within Eckel power tongs. Eckel has won a world-wide reputation of providing first-class products that deliver years of trouble free service. Our tongs have operated trouble free in the harsh cold conditions of Western and Eastern Siberia and in the Far Northern Regions. Eckel’s hydraulic power units have a proven track record in some of the harshest surroundings in Russia such as the extreme hot and cold conditions of Russian and offshore environments.
Eckel has provided more than 500 Hydraulic Power Tongs to oil and gas companies and drilling contractors in Russia. In Russia, as well as in many other countries, the use of Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) chrome tubulars are becoming more popular. Eckel is an industry leader in this specialized field tubular connections offering a line CHROMEBOSS® tongs along with Eckel Non-Marking True Grit® dies. True Grit® Dies utilize Tungsten Carbide grit coating which provides many more points of contact on the surface of the tubular than standard Pyramid Fine Tooth dies provide. Penetration depth less than half the depth that is permissible by the American Petroleum Institute (API). Eckel’s True Grit® dies use a dense Tungsten Carbide coating that is a metal like substance which does not flake or sheer off the face of the die. Operational on-site tests have shown that the life time of Eckel True Grit® wrap-around dies is three times longer than competing abrasive powder coated dies. The above equipment and components have been working in Russia several years and proved its advantages.
The hydraulic power tong market is very competitive in Russia, with both local and international suppliers competing for business. Why should a drilling contractor or operator consider using Eckel equipment?
Eckel has over 60 years of experience in this area, and is known for quality and reliability. Many of these tong manufacturers use the old Foster and Hillman Kelly that are 30-year-old designs. Eckel is at the forefront of this industry designing tongs that can handle today’s premium high torque connections. Our tong designs evolved to incorporate additional safety features, automation, and performance. Our new 7.25 HSHT-80 Drill Pipe / Casing and 9-7/8 HS-60 Casing tongs incorporates many of these features.
Eckel has been the leader in development of tubular gripping such as the development of larger wrap-around type dies for many of its tong models. Depending on the application, Eckel offers a coarse tooth, pyramid fine tooth, and our proprietary True Grit dies. Dies are available as rig die style and for thinner wall tubulars where point loading is a concern we offer wrap-around dies. All Eckel equipment is produced at our Odessa, Texas USA manufacturing facilities (ISO 9001:2008 certified) that encompasses 140,663 square feet (13068 square meters) ensures the highest quality.
Eckel equipment is popular world-wide as having shipped to over 100 countries. Eckel is best known for its value in reducing costs, safer tubular connection, reduced maintenance, and mitigated downtime.
