Dynamometers for the Oil & Gas Industry

Precision Torque Measurement
and Custom Calibration

When connecting pipe and well components, precise torque control is critical to prevent leaks and structural failures. Dynamic Measurement custom-configures Dillon dynamometers for these tasks, including specialized calibrations that account for mechanical advantage from tools
such as pipe wrenches.

For example, an EDXtreme dynamometer can be calibrated to display weight at a 1:4 ratio, accurately reflecting the applied torque at the connection point. This customization prevents measurement errors and enhances safety across drilling and production operations.

Specialized Expertise That Cannot Be Found Elsewhere

Our team has the technical knowledge to discuss your specific application and specify the exact equipment for your job.

We understand oil field operations because we have decades of experience in force measurement and dynamometer testing in the oil and gas industry.

Rugged Reliability in
Extreme Environments

In the demanding conditions of oil fields, dynamometers must withstand heat, dust, vibration, salt air, and heavy use.

Dillon mechanical dynamometers deliver a power-free solution ideal for remote or hazardous environments, while Dillon electronic units such as the EDXtreme Red and EDXtreme Blue, offer IP67-rated waterproofing for both offshore and onshore production.

Each electronic unit is dust-tight and protected against temporary water immersion, ensuring durability in the harsh environments of drilling rigs, refineries, and pipeline construction sites.

Data Recording and Proof of Test Documentation

Oilfield clients increasingly require a record of every torque and load applied to verify that pipe connections meet specified force values.

To satisfy these needs, the EDXtreme Red and EDXtreme Blue models provide built-in data storage and printing capability, automatically recording the force applied, date, time, and even environmental conditions.

These detailed proof-of-test records help oilfield service companies demonstrate compliance and maintain traceable documentation for audits and internal safety programs
