There are many parts to the complete oil rig system, and coil tubing indicators are an essential one. This system primarily gives weight readings, registered from the coil tubing unit. The coil tubing string in the wellbore has many applications in the petroleum industry. The coiled tubing is a metal pipe that pumps fluids for logging, cementing, acidizing, hydraulic fracturing, wellbore cleanout, and drilling.
Because of the small tubing diameter and the curvature, the coil tubing unit may face obstructions that affect friction and regularity. This is why businesses get coil tubing indicators customized according to their needs. Let’s look at some standard features that you’ll find in coil tubing indicators.
Single Or Dual Acting
Depending on the coil tubing unit installed in your drilling rig, the coil tubing indicator system can be single- or dual-acting.
Dial Face
The dial face is the most crucial part of the coil tubing indicator systems. It needs to be clear, visible, and calibrated. Our dial gauges have a diameter of 6 or 8-1/2 inches, for maximum visibility.
Lubrication
Lack of lubrication can cause problems in the coil tubing unit. The coil tubing indicator must have a fluid-filled gauge for necessary lubrication. This also boosts the shock resistance of the indicator system.
Load Cells
Our compression load cells are manufactured from the highest-grade material that can withstand all kinds of pressure situations. They’re rugged and durable, and offer long years of service with little maintenance. They come with a heavy-duty diaphragm rubber that promises long-lasting performance without damage.
The operating temperature range is between -40C and 65C (-50 to 150F), and you can choose sensor options from all the following choices:
- 4.43 sq/in effective area, direct load of 7500 lbs
- 6.44 sq/in effective area, direct load of 5,000 lbs
- 8.0 sq/in effective area, direct load of 7,000 lbs
- 12.0 sq/in effective area, direct load of 10,000 lbs
- 16.1 sq/in effective area, direct load of 30,000 lbs
- 36.76 sq/in effective area, direct load of 60,000 lbs
- 50 sq/in effective area, direct load of 150,000 lbs
