Compression load cells  are instrumental for the operation of coil tubing units in oil rigs. They’re used in several industries including oil and gas exploitation, as measuring instruments. They operate on a working principle that’s crucial for measuring force. Types of load cells can be broadly categorized into four groups: tension, bending, alternating, and compression  load cells . Load cells work like transducers that calculate and output force in the form of electrical signals. A variety of load cells  detect pressure readings via strain gauges, although there are other forms of force sensors too. It's a load that's designed to weigh down at one point to register the compression. They're good measuring tools for the pushing force along one axis. They're placed underneath a weighty object that needs to be measured . Contrary to that, tension load cells calculate the force with which they’re being pulled. How Do Strain Gauges Work When force is appli

Much like other oilfield instrumentation, standpipe mud pump pressure gauges  are vital to the drilling process. It’s a system that measures the loss of pressure due to fluid friction. It aggregates the pressure loss that occurs across the bit, in the drill string and bottle home assembly (BHA). Installation And Operation The motor is situated at the bottom, to calculate the standpipe pressure as it adds up to 400 psi . When the drilling operation begins, the total pump pressure falls and rises according to the motor torque . It’s important to ensure there’s sufficient torque—twisting force—to cause rotation , with an equivalent liquid flow rate through the motor. There can be various complications with motor stall when you use compressible fluids . It can get hard to detect the right reasons for increased pressure when the motor stalls out. This is why standpipe pressure gauges must be accurate and operational at all times. Specifications ·  The standpipe pressure gau

Oil rig setups are expansive, with multiple moving parts and complex machinery operating in tandem. It’s challenging to regulate and oversee all of these processes together. That’s where process control instrumentation comes in.   The process automation and instrumentation market was estimated to stand at USD 71.4 billion in 2019 . The rise of the O&G industry in the last few decades has been facilitated by the growth and improvement of process instrumentation products and services. A wide range of equipment is used in the O&G industry  to assist in the excavation process. This includes pump stands, pressure gauges, weight indicators, and sensors. These devices need to able to withstand extreme environments so they can deliver accurate readings consistently. Here’s how these process instrumentation devices have helped the O&G industry: 1. Better consistency Repeated and accurate measurements are critical tasks in any processing plant. The right control ins
