This chapter provides an overview of the functionality and features of the TesTORK Wireless Torque Monitoring System.
I
NTRODUCTION
The T esT ORK W ireless Torque Monitoring System was developed by TESCO to complement the TESCO Casing Running Tool (CRT). The TesTORK enables operators to accurately mon­itor torque vs. turns and torque vs. systems. RPM is also monitored.

Features

The TesTORK provides the following operational features:
• Real time monitoring of torque
• Torque load is measured against both time connection.
• Operators can define the characteristics of a sa connection data specifying torque limits, turn values and hold time for the shoulder and peak toque target.
• During a connection attempt, the user inte torque load vs. time and torque load vs. number of turns. The speed (RPM) of the casing during a connection attempt can also be viewed.
• A summary of data from the connection attem when the connection attempt is complete
• Connection attempts are identified as being either a pass or a fail. The operator can also

• The TesTORKmakes efficient use of battery life which is continually monitored. To preserve battery life, the TesTORK will enter sleep mode after a period of no communication between itself and the base radio.
• The TesTORK uses an auto hunt mode to establish wireless connection with the base radio

Data logging and reports

The TesTORK provides the following data logging and reporting functionality:
• Torque, turn and time data for every connection is logged at 100 times per second
• Every connection attempt is logged
• Operators are prompted to enter comments for failed connections. Comments added following a successful connection.
• Logs and displays connec tion number, casing depth and nection
• Reports can be generated that provide information summaries, and connection details (i.e. shoulder torque values, peak torque values and number of turns)
• A connection can be abandoned if two complete turns (or less) are not completed

Data Configuration

The TesTORK software provides the following data configuration options and functionality:
• Connection data defining the characteristics of a sa changed at any time during a job
Note: The TesTORK flags and logs all changes to connection data during a job.
• All connection data is saved for future use. This reduces the time required to enter data manually by allowing the operator to reuse similar data from a previous job
