cesco power tong dies supplier

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.

Eckel Non-Marking True Grit® Dies - Have set a NEW industry standard for handling Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) tubular goods. Eckel True Grit® Dies are used on chrome tubulars where reduced die penetration and die marking is greatly desired. Eckel"s Coated True Grit® Dies utilize Tungsten Carbide grit which provides many more points of contact on the surface of the tubular than our Pyramid Fine Tooth dies. The Tungsten Carbide is a dense, metal like substance that does not flake or sheer off the face of the die. A head conversion kit for conversion of your head assembly to a head assembly for running chrome is required to obtain optimal performance from the True Grit® Dies. It is highly recommended to change the bushings in the roller after every job.

The HD26000 casing tong can handle tubulars as small as 10-3/4″ and as large as 26″ in diameter. Other sizes can be special-ordered. Tong can be mounted on either a CLINCHER® or a FARR® hydraulic backup. Available with McCoy’s patented WinCatt® data acquisition and torque control system for the make-up of tubular connections.
