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

Applications Across Onshore
And Offshore Operations
Dillon Dynamometers are deployed in major oilfields worldwide including the Permian Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Barnett Shale, and Haynesville Shale as well as on offshore production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, the Middle East, and South America .
Compliance and Safety Standards
Dillon mechanical and electronic dynamometers support compliance with major international standards, including:
API Spec 8C
Proof-load and non-destructive testing for drilling and production equipment
OSHA
Lifting and Hoisting Regulations
U.S. workplace safety standards
LOLER
(UK Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations)
European equivalent for proof-load verification
DNV and ABS
Guidelines for offshore lifting operations
Enhanced Operator Safety
With Wireless Monitoring
Using the Dillon Communicator II, operators can view live load data from a safe remote distance reducing exposure to moving equipment or high-pressure zones.
The Communicator II enables wireless monitoring, data logging, and laptop download capabilities, eliminating the need for cable connections in confined or hazardous spaces
