See our updated certificate and scope http://bit.ly/TorqueCal

Measuring and applying correct torque to equipment can prevent costly breakdowns and improve efficiencies in all types of drilling operations, such as:
✔ Leg load balancing for jack-up oil rigs
✔ Torque monitoring and/or calibration of make-up/breakout machines
✔ Load distribution and balancing for winches and hoists, and
✔ Measure actuation torque for valves
✔ Top drive torque measurement and control, in-line measurment of torque as PMI of motors, pumps, compressors and more
Because of its extremely high immunity to noise interference, high
safety margins, and maintenance-free design, the MCRT® 39000X has been certified by both ABS and DNV to become a standard for oil field use.

Are all torque sensors created equal?
It might be easy to say yes, considering they all measure torque, but torque sensors can become highly specialized to their desired application.
Torque sensors all measure into a signal that can be used by another device.
Let’s take a look at some of the differences:
They can be...
👉 Rotary or reaction
👉 Shafted, flanged, or designed for special purposes
👉 Low capacity or high capacity
and have...
👉 Accuracy ratings from ±0.01% to ±0.1
👉 Torque ranges from 0.07 Nm to 2.5 mNm
👉 Overload ratings from 150% to 1,000%
Considering the above, you may want to talk to our experts so they can assist you with your application.

Why is our tagline “The World’s Best Torque Instruments Since 1960”?
Well, how many companies receive and answer emails like this…
“Hi, I have an old Himmelstein MCRT Torquemeter, model 2-04TH or 2-04TII, I can't tell the last two characters. Do you have a data sheet for this model? It's a 25,000rpm, 50 LB-IN model.”
The 2-04TH is over 43 years old and it’s still in use!
So we sent the data sheet and we’re happy to do it.
How many other torque measurement instruments do you think are still in use 43 years later?
Let us know when you’re ready for the best torque measurement solution for your application.

Here are 4 things we want to do for you:

Twisting and turning?
Protect your equipment by measuring torque.
There are many variations of torquemeter designs, however the same elements are used for reaction (non-rotating or static) and rotating (or dynamic) sensors.
Contact us when you need to discuss solutions.
Find out how to reach us in the comments.

Here are the questions we get asked most often.
↓
→ How do I protect my torque sensor from torque spikes?
We have designed our torquemeters for infinite fatigue life provided they are operated at below ½ the overload rating.
→ Can I operate my torque transducer in the overload range?
This is not advisable. Operation at higher torques won't damage the unit, but frequent operation in that region will reduce the sensors fatigue life and may ultimately result in a fatigue failure.
Don’t go it alone. Our engineers are always happy to help. Shoot us an email or give us a call if you need help. 1-847-843-3300 or [email protected]
