Features

The TesTORK provides the following operational features:

• Real time monitoring of torque load applied by the top drive

• Torque load is measured against both time and connection.

• Operators can define the characteristics of a satisfactory ca 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 attempt is immedi when the connection attempt is complete

• Connection attempts are identified as being either a pass or a fail. The operator can also identify a connections identified in this way.

• Information and data defining a job can be specified be includes company details, casing data, shoulder data and peak torque data values. Some data can also be changed during a job.

• 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 and the result displayed

• Operators are added following

• Logs and displays connection number, casing depth and the reason for every failed connection

• Reports summaries, and connection details (i.e. shoulder torque values, peak torque values and number of turns)

Logging a Connection Attempt

This section explains how to use TesTORK Manager software to view and log connection attempts.

Note: Ensure the steps in the “Pre-Job Activity List” have been completed before using the procedures in this chapter. For more information, see See “Pre-job Activity List” on p age 37.

The following procedures are explained in this chapter:

Table 4: Viewing and logging connection attempt options

Procedure Description

Log a passed connection Use TesTORK Manager software to log a successful connection

attempt.

Log a failed connection Use TesTORK Manager software to log an unsuccessful

connection attempt.

Force past a failed connection It is possible to force a Pass status on a failed connection if the

operator has determined that the connection is correct, but TesTORK Manager software has not recognized it as such.



One situation in which a failed connection might be forced is when the threaded coupling on the top of the casing has been removed. This can cause faults to occur. Torquing two connections at once can create a fault alarm as the shoulders might not synchronize and the applied/registered torque might be more erratic than what was set as parameters for Fail status. In this case, it is permitted to force a Pass status if the correct end result torque is achieved. The comment section allows comments regarding the reason for the pass; comments are required for all force failed or force passed connections. In addition, the option to increase the connection number to account for the double joint is available.



Another situation where a force pass connection might occur is if the operator clicks the Start button after the casing has already turned a number times. This will produce a fault that indicates shouldering occurred too early and/or the optimum torque was achieved within too few turns. If it is confirmed that the connection is actually correct, then force pass the connection.

Log a Passed Connection

Use the following procedure to accept the Passed status assigned to a connection by

TesTORK

Manager software and continue to the next connection.

Note: The recorded status of a connection attempt assigned a “Passed” status cannot be changed once the connection attempt has been saved.

1. On the main screen, click the Connections button.
