Features of Tong Torque Gauge
Reduce Drill String Failure Risk
Tong Torque Gauge uses a hydraulic sensing system to show real-time torque changes, preventing over- or under-tightening that leads to joint damage, breakage, or thread stripping, and reducing related maintenance costs.
Stable Performance in High Vibration
The fluid-damped structure absorbs drilling shocks and keeps the pointer stable in high-vibration conditions, reducing reading fluctuations and operator misjudgment.
Long Service Life
With a stainless steel piston rod and sealed hydraulic chamber, the unit operates reliably for 3–5 years in drilling mud and salt spray environments, reducing replacement frequency.
Quick Installation
Clamp-on design allows direct mounting on the driller's console or panel. Installation takes about 1 hour with no modification to existing systems.

FAQ
Q: Can I take a virtual tour of your factory?
A: Certainly. We can show you our workshops, warehouses, and offices via video.
Q: What is the primary function of the Tong Torque Gauge?
A: The Tong Torque Gauge is used to display the torque values applied to drill pipe connections, helping to control tightening force and ensure the safe and reliable connection of the drill string.
Q: Is it easy to install?
A: It features a clamp-on design that can be mounted directly onto the driller's console or instrument panel, requiring no complex modifications.
Q: What are the payment terms?
A: We primarily accept Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) as the payment method; for certain orders, we offer terms of a 30% down payment with the remaining 70% settled prior to shipment.
Q: What trade terms do you use?
A: We typically utilize FOB or CIF trade terms, which can be flexibly negotiated based on the destination port and chosen mode of transport.
Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: Standard models have a low minimum order requirement, with a typical MOQ of 1–5 sets; we welcome trial orders and small-batch purchases.
Q: What is the lead time for delivery?
A: The lead time for standard models is approximately 7–15 days; for customized models, the lead time extends to 20–30 days, depending on structural complexity.
Q: Do you offer a quality guarantee?
A: Each unit undergoes rigorous pressure and precision testing prior to leaving the factory; we provide a 12-month quality warranty period under normal operating conditions.
Q: What are the shipping methods?
A: We offer shipping via sea freight, air freight, or express courier services, allowing for flexible selection based on cargo volume and delivery timeline requirements.
