The Weatherford 16-25 hydraulic casing tong provides 25,000 ft-lb (33,900 N\u2022m) of torque capacity for running and pulling 6 5\/8- to 16-in. casing. At the heart of this versatile and lightweight tong is a unique gated rotary that completely encircles the casing. This design provides as many as seven
\ncontact points that distribute gripping forces over a greater area than conventional tong designs, ensuring a positive grip without damaging the casing. The optional integral free-floating backup helps
\nto ensure proper connection makeup and long- term wellbore integrity.
\nApplications
\n\u2022 Running and pulling 6 5\/8- to 16-in. tubulars
\nFeatures, Advantages, and Benefits
\n\u2022 The tong design handles high-torque requirements without the case body distortion problems that
\n plague many other tongs, so it reduces equipment repair costs and increases efficiency.
\n\u2022 The versatile and lightweight tong is easy to operate, which saves time and enhances personal safety.
\n\u2022 The tong design allows the operator to switch between makeup and breakout modes by moving a single
\n pin, which saves time and increases operational efficiency.
\n\u2022 The optional hydraulic free-floating backup virtually eliminates shearing and bending when making up
\n or breaking out connections, reducing casing deformation that can affect long-term wellbore
\n integrity.
\n\u2022 The hydraulic door interlock prevents tong operation while the doors are open or unlatched, providing
\n additional safety.
\n\u2022 An optional lift cylinder quickly adjusts to varying connection heights, making this versatile tong
\n easily adaptable for different stump heights.
\n\u2022 Multiple contact points distribute gripping forces, preventing damage to casing and the need for
\n costly repairs.
\n\u2022 Compatibility with Weatherford JAMPro\u2122 torque control systems enables real-time monitoring of torque,
\n turns, and speed.
