Types of Weight Indicator Systems and Their Uses

Weight indicator systems are commonly used for weight or load indication during oil or drilling processes. It is a valuable instrument that can help you detect and provide accurate readings on the measuring scale. There are different types of weight indicator systems that you can use for minor processes or heavy-duty drilling operations. Contact Instruments has the best quality and user-friendly weight indicator system that not only offers accurate reading but an exceptional user experience.

What are some common types of weight indicator systems? Let's find out.

Anchor Type Weight Indicators

Anchor weight type weight indicators offer a quick and efficient indication of hook load and provide a practical drilling experience. Some of its features include:

· They can be configured in a custom manner with several other tools like pressure gauges, torque gauge, and pump stroke meter.

· They offers load tolerance of 30,000 pounds to 200,000 pounds.

· It also consists of dampers that help stabilize pointers in case of rough drilling.

· They are easy to use and read measurements from.

· They are built for extreme environmental conditions.

Bulk Tank Weight Indicator System

A bulk tank weight indicator can offer efficient and accurate load measurements for hoppers, hydraulic hoses, and bulk tanks. Their features include:

· They can operate in extreme weather conditions (-50 F to 150 F)

· They come with tension and compression load cells.

· They have dial gears for dial adjustment.

· They also have adjustable dampers for optimizing pointer sensitivity.

Deflection Type Weight Indicators

Deflection weight indicators are compact and versatile, primarily used for workover rigs and minor drilling, offering smooth weight measurement. They work on the concept of hydraulic pressure. Following are some of their notable features:

· They are built for easy transportation since they are used in small drilling projects.

· They come with different dials for easy measurement readings

· They're equipped with dampers that assist in calibrating the pointer's sensitivity.

· They are almost compatible with every industry standard anchor.

· They consist of a deadline diaphragm, a high-pressure hose, and a gauge.

How to Avoid OSHA Violations at Your Drilling Rig

Image
  The health and safety of workers in the oil and gas mining industry are major concerns. Exposure to hazards, extreme work environments, and accidents while operating heavy machinery means that oil/gas industry employees are at a higher risk of injuries and fatalities. As a result, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ( OSHA ) has outlined certain precautions that help prevent accidents and keep your employees and worksite safe. Significant focus has been put on inspecting oilfield worksites, so you want to be prepared for any unexpected visits at your facility at all times. Staying prepared means that not only do you get to avoid fines and citations , but you also keep your workers protected. Let’s take a look at the top three violations on OSHA’s list, as well as the steps you can take to prevent them. 1. Inadequate Fall Prevention According to the National Safety Council, falls are among the most common hazards in the workplace, leading to approximately 50,000 severe i

Most Common Oilfield Instrumentation Issues

Image
Oilfield instrumentation  is a system of measuring, recording, and analyzing parameters such as temperature, pressure, and flow rate. It’s used to monitor the production of petroleum and natural gas wells. Here are five common oilfield instrumentation issues that oilfield operators should know about. Equipment Failure Equipment can either fail mechanically or electrically. The most common failures are due to power surges or lightning strikes. Electrical failure is one of the most common causes of oilfield instrumentation issues. They are caused by improper grounding or insulation issues with wiring in the wellhead. Mechanical failures  are usually due to wear and tear on moving parts caused by high-temperature environments or corrosion from corrosive chemicals in the wellhead. Lack of Communication Between the Wellhead and the Surface Any oilfield or gas field instrumentation is at risk of malfunctioning if the communication between the wellhead and surface is faulty. One issue that ca
