The system Indicates make-up or breakout torque (in pounds of line pull) for tool joints, drill
collars, and drill string components. This type of system is used in applications where there
are more than on set of tongs being used with different handle lengths. A 6" fluid-filled gauge
reads directly in pounds of line pull which works in conjunction with a load cell that is
connected directly to the tong handle. To determine the actual torque being applied you
multiply the gauge reading by the tong handle length in feet. The gauge comes complete with
target pointer that the driller sets to a corresponding torque requirement. A large variety of
systems are available with up to *0.**0 pounds of single line pull.
