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)
• A connection can be abandoned if two complete turns (or less) are not completed

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
