The BRISTECOM 14-100 hydraulic power tong provides 100,000 ft-lb
(135,600 N•m) of torque capacity for running and pulling 7- to 14-in.
casing. The tong has a unique gated rotary that completely encircles
the casing to distribute gripping forces over a greater area and ensure
a positive grip without damaging the casing. Features such as the
BRISTECOM Diamond Grip™ system and free‑floating hydraulic backup
help to ensure proper connection makeup and long‑term wellbore
integrity. For added safety, the hydraulic door interlock prevents tong
operation while the doors are open or unlatched.
The 14-100 tong is capable of fully mechanized remote operation or
semimechanized operation. The tong is completely compatible with all
BRISTECOM automated tong-positioning systems, including the patented1
PowerFrame® system and the patented2
PowerScope® system.
•Compatibility with BRISTECOM JAMPro™ torque control systems enables
real-time monitoring of torque, turns, and speed for increased efficiency.
• Optional Diamond Grip system causes minimal or no marking on the
tubular surface, avoiding costly repairs associated with stress corrosion
cracking or sulfide stress cracking.
• The patented safety interlock system prevents tong operation when the
gate is ajar, thereby reducing the risk of injury.
•The patented free-floating backup design virtually eliminates shearing
and bending when making up or breaking out connections. That reduces
casing deformation, which can affect long-term wellbore integrity
•Optional positioning of tong jaws and integral backup jaws close to each
other addresses riser makeup requirements for increased efficiency
•The integrated thread-compensation system prevents thread damage,
which saves on repair costs
“Generally, BRISTECOM also supplies and rents various oil and gas tools and equipment at affordable prices at a particular time specified by the contractor. More or less, we do a high-range of supply chain management.”
