Torque Testing

• Maximum torque: 150,000 ft-lb

• Vertical and horizontal testing configurations

• Tubulars up to 20” in diameter

• Precise torque control and measurement

• Automated cycling capabilities

Our systems evaluate connection performance during assembly and disassembly:

• Simulates field makeup and breakout operations

• Tests galling resistance and thread performance

• Evaluates thread compound effectiveness

• Assesses connection reusability

• Verifies proper connection behavior

We determine exact yield points under applied torque:

• Precise measurement of applied torque

• Real-time monitoring of deformation

• Identification of elastic limits and yield points

• Establishment of safe operating limits

• Optimization of installation procedures

Torque rarely acts alone in real applications. We can combine:

• Torque with tension and compression

• Torque with internal and external pressure

• Torque at elevated or reduced temperatures

• Complex loading sequences with torque

• Multiple parameters for realistic simulation

We test according to API, ISO, ASME, ASTM, ANSI, and customer-specified protocols, ensuring results meet industry requirements and support equipment qualification.

• Three-step safety process for high-torque operations

• ISO 9001:2015 certified quality control

• Comprehensive safety protocols

• Complete documentation and traceability

Proper torque is critical for:

• Connection integrity and sealing

• Preventing over-tightening and damage

• Ensuring reliable field performance

• Meeting industry specifications

• Optimizing installation procedures
