Power tongs are essential equipment for automatically making up and breaking out drill pipes. They are primarily classified into pneumatic power tongs and hydraulic power tongs, both of which play a critical role in oilfield drilling operations.
1. Pneumatic Power Tongs
The SSW-40 pneumatic power tong is widely used for efficient drill pipe handling. Below are its key specifications:
- Size Range: 3-½” to 9 ½” (89-241 mm)
- Rotation Speed (5” Drill Pipe): 120 RPM
- Torque (5” Pipe): 1100 ft-lbs (1490 Nm)
- Air Pressure: 90-120 psi (6.2-8.6 Bar)
Precautions for Using Pneumatic Power Tongs
- Ensure the cylinder, air valve, and air circuit are secure, with no leakage and flexible movement.
- Replace any broken transmission gear teeth promptly.
- The wear on the drive and pressure rollers should not exceed 3.175 mm.
- The suspension rod should be flexible and easy to adjust.
- Regular lubrication is necessary to maintain optimal performance.
- Maintain a sufficient level of gear oil in the gearbox.
- If slippage, abnormal noise, weak power, or air leakage occurs, inspect and repair immediately.
2. Hydraulic Power Tongs
The Q10Y-M hydraulic power tong consists of a travel gearbox, a reduction device, a tong head, a pneumatic control system, and a hydraulic system. It provides high efficiency and reliable torque output, making it ideal for various drilling applications.
