USER GUIDE
SE
This chapter provides an overview of the functionality and features of the TesTORK Wireless
Torque Monitoring System.
INTRODUCTION
TE
AL
The TesTORK Wireless Torque Monitoring System was developed by TESCO to complement
the TESCO Casing Running Tool (CRT). The TesTORK enables operators to accurately monitor torque vs. turns and torque vs. time when making up connections using TESCO top drive
systems. RPM is also monitored.
-I
The TesTORK is wireless in operation and functions independently of other rig equipment.
The only connection required is an AC power supply to the base radio.
Features
The TesTORK provides the following operational features:
AF
VE
SI
• Real time monitoring of torque load applied by the top drive during casing connections
• Torque load is measured against both time and number of turns for each casing
connection.
• Operators can define the characteristics of a satisfactory casing connection by entering
connection data specifying torque limits, turn values and hold time for the shoulder and
peak toque target.
• During a connection attempt, the user interface (UI) displays real time data showing
torque load vs. time and torque load vs. number of turns. The speed (RPM) of the casing
during a connection attempt can also be viewed.
• A summary of data from the connection attempt is immediately displayed on the UI
when the connection attempt is complete
• Connection attempts are identified as being either a pass or a fail. The operator can also
identify a connection as being a forced pass or forced fail. Comments must be added to
connections identified in this way.
• Information and data defining a job can be specified before a job begins. Information
includes company details, casing data, shoulder data and peak torque data values. Some
data can also be changed during a job.
• The TesTORK is calibrated to measure between 0-50000 ft-lbs of toque and can be recalibrated regularly

Data logging and reports
The TesTORK provides the following data logging and reporting functionality:
LY
• The TesTORKmakes efficient use of battery life which is continually monitored. To
preserve battery life, the TesTORK will enter sleep mode after a period of no
communication between itself and the base radio.
• The TesTORK uses an auto hunt mode to establish wireless connection with the base
radio
TE
AL
SE
• Torque, turn and time data for every connection is logged at 100 times per second
• Every connection attempt is logged and the result displayed
• Operators are prompted to enter comments for failed connections. Comments can also be
added following a successful connection.
• Logs and displays connection number, casing depth and the reason for every failed connection
• Reports can be generated that provide information on job statistics, section detail or
summaries, and connection details (i.e. shoulder torque values, peak torque values and
number of turns)
• A connection can be abandoned if two complete turns (or less) are not completed
Data Configuration
-I
The TesTORK software provides the following data configuration options and functionality:
• Connection data defining the characteristics of a satisfactory casing connection can be
changed at any time during a job
Note: The TesTORK flags and logs all changes to connection data
during a job.
SI
• All connection data is saved for future use. This reduces the time required to enter data
manually by allowing the operator to reuse similar data from a previous job
• Data is displayed and logged in metric or Imperial units for every connection.
VE
Note: Units cannot be changed during a connection process.
AF
User Interface
The TesTORK user interface (UI) has the following features:
• TesTORK software is automatically installed and runs from the client CD; users do not
have to manually install the program onto a computer
• Operators can enter data and navigate the TesTORK screens with either a touch screen
(only some laptop computers) or mouse click
• Interactive torque vs. time and turns graph reports are displayed enabling the operator to:
• Use pan and zoom controls to view details at any point on the graph
• View torque vs. time, torque vs. turn, or torque vs. time and turns
• Show or hide RPM data by clicking a single button

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
HOW THE TESTORK SYSTEM WORKS
The TesTORK system is comprised of the following components:
TesTORK sub
TesTORK housing
Base radio (connects to the computer hosting TesTORK Manager software)
TesTORK Manager software and host computer
LY
•
•
•
•
SE
The TesTORK sub is installed between the top drive and casing drive system. Sensors in the
TesTORK sub provide torque, tension and rotational data. This data is transmitted to the base
radio by a wireless transmitter located in the TesTORK housing. The TesTORK sub and TesTORK housing are a single unit referred to as the TesTORK.
AL
The base radio supplies torque, tension and rotational data to the TesTORK Manager software‘s host computer.
The combination of TesTORK system components enable the operator to view and log connection data using the TesTORK Manager software‘s user interface.
TE
See “Appendix C: TTS General Assembly” for the general schematic overview.

Table 4:
Procedure
Description
LY
Log a passed connection
Log a failed connection
It is possible to force a Pass status on a failed connection if the
operator has determined that the connection is correct, but
tTesTORK Manager software has not recognized it as such.

One situation in which a failed connection might be forced is
when the threaded coupling on the top of the casing has been
removed. This can cause faults to occur. Torquing two
connections at once can create a fault alarm as the shoulders
might not synchronize and the applied/registered torque might be
more erratic than what was set as parameters for Fail status. In
this case, it is permitted to force a Pass status if the correct end
result torque is achieved. The comment section allows comments
regarding the reason for the pass; comments are required for all
force failed or force passed connections. In addition, the option to
increase the connection number to account for the double joint is
available.
TE
AL
SE
Force past a failed connection
-I
Another situation where a force pass connection might occur is if
the operator clicks the Start button after the casing has already
turned a number times. This will produce a fault that indicates
shouldering occurred too early and/or the optimum torque was
achieved within too few turns. If it is confirmed that the connection
is actually correct, then force pass the connection.

Log a Passed Connection
Use the following procedure to accept the Passed status assigned to a connection by the system and continue to the next connection.

LY
The TESCO Base Radio contains two radio transceivers. This allows the TESCO Base Radio
to receive streaming real time measurement data from the Wireless Torque Turn Tension
System on one channel while at the same time monitor supervisory devices such as the
TESCO Compact Casing Drive System on the other channel.
Both radio channels are under control of the same microprocessor and the software ensures
that the two radio channels operate on different frequency channels and never transmit at the
same time.
