Manual Tongs

The manual drilling tong is a tool designed for making up and breaking connections of tubular goods, from light tubing to heavy wall pipe and drill collars. There are 7 types, varying in torque capacity from 10,000 to 200,000 lbs / ft (13,560 – 271,000Nm). Covered sizes from 2 3/8” to 17 “, or 36” (HT50 with extended reach).

Interchangeable lug jaw design permits each tong to handle different sizes of xpipe. By installing hinge jaws (available for some models), bigger pipe sizes can be handled.

The manual drilling tongs can be assembled for either making-up or break-out by removing the hanger and turning the complete HT tong over.

Type Q60-273/48(2 3/8-10 3/4 in) C Manual Drilling Tong is an essential tool in oil drilling operation to fasten or remove the screws of drill pipe and casing joint or coupling .It can be adjusted by changing latch lug jaws and latch steps.

Types of tong are essential tools used in various industries, particularly in the oil and gas sector, for gripping and rotating pipes or tubular equipment during drilling and well servicing operations.

These tools play a crucial role in connecting or disconnecting sections of drill pipe, casing, or tubing.

There are several types of tong, each designed for specific applications and environments, ensuring safety and efficiency.

Manual tongs: These are the simplest types of tong, often used in oil and gas operations to handle and turn drill pipes and other tubulars.

Operated by hand, they require significant manpower and are primarily used in older rigs or situations where mechanical or hydraulic tongs are not available.

Manual tongs are effective in low-pressure, less demanding operations but are being gradually replaced by automated systems.

Hydraulic power tongs: Widely used in modern oil and gas drilling, hydraulic power tongs are mechanized versions that use hydraulic pressure to apply torque to pipes.

These tongs allow for more precise and efficient control compared to manual tongs, making them ideal for high-pressure environments.

Hydraulic power tongs are known for their safety features and can be operated remotely, reducing the risk of injury.

Casing tongs: A specific type of tong designed for handling large-diameter casing pipes, these tongs are commonly used during the installation of well casings.

Casing tongs are often hydraulic-powered and offer the strength and control necessary to handle heavy, large pipes used in deep drilling operations.

Tubing tongs: Similar to casing tongs, tubing tongs are used for handling smaller-diameter tubing pipes.

These tools provide precise control, ensuring proper connection and disconnection during well servicing operations.

Each of these types of tong plays a crucial role in oilfield operations, and selecting the appropriate type depends on the specific task, pipe size, and operational environment.
