The Type C Manual Tong, also known as HT-35 Tongs, is an essential mechanical tool designed for makeup and breakout operations of drill pipes and casing joints in oil drilling applications. Certified to 7K and ISO standards, this robust tong features a unique dual-adjustment system utilizing both short jaws and hinge jaws, allowing it to accommodate a wide range of pipe sizes from 2³/4 inches to 10³/4 inches (60.33mm to 273.05mm). The tong is engineered with six distinct latch lug jaw configurations (#1-#6), providing precise torque application and secure gripping during operations. With a maximum rated torque capacity of 35,000 lb·ft (48 kN·m), it ensures reliable performance in various drilling environments.
This manual tong excels in versatility and operational flexibility. Its innovative short jaw and hinge jaw design enables quick adaptations to different pipe diameters, making it suitable for handling diverse tubular types including drill pipes, casing joints, and couplings. The clearly defined size ranges and torque ratings for each configuration ensure safe and efficient usage. The tong's robust construction and compliance with international standards guarantee durability and safety, minimizing the risk of pipe damage during critical makeup and breakout processes while maintaining optimal performance in demanding drilling conditions.
Widely used in both onshore and offshore drilling operations, the Type C Manual Tong enhances workflow efficiency and reduces dependency on powered equipment. Its manual operation makes it ideal for remote locations or situations with limited power availability. By providing precise torque control and adaptability, this tool helps minimize downtime and improves overall drilling productivity, making it an indispensable asset for drilling crews focused on safety, reliability, and cost-effective operations across various oilfield applications.
