Everything You Need to Know About TITAN

CROWN Oilfield Instrumentation created TITAN Deadline Anchors because we quickly realized that creating our own Deadline Anchor was the only way to make sure we had one that lived up to our standards of Quality, Accuracy and Durability. 

The TITAN Drill Line Anchor lineup offers a pull capacity 30,000 – 150,000 pounds.  Every TITAN Anchor is made of the highest quality structural steel, and they are always made in America.  These components make it capable of handling the harshest drilling conditions. 

TITAN anchors offer unmatched reliability, durability, and cost savings versus the competition. Our anchors are also engineered for safety - every TITAN anchor sold is pull tested and certified, and the design of each model was approved and sealed by a third-party Professional Engineer. Our TITAN Deadline Anchors are ready for use with Crown Oilfield Instrumentation load cells & weight indicators.

Crown Drilling Instruments

Crown Oilfield Instrumentation isn't only Single Pointer Pressure Gauges and Tong Ling Pull Gauges. They create and calibrate any instrument that involves the drilling rigs with their line of precision drilling instrumentation!

What do all these things do?

A Short Tale of What Drilling Instruments Measure

-- Automatic Drillers

Automatic Drillers developed by Crown Oilfield Instrumentation have proven themselves as the most reliable auto-driller in the oilfield industry. This driller maintains maximum weight on bit.

-- Mud Pressure Systems

In short, Mud Pressure Gauge Systems monitor mud operations in order to accurately detect problems in the system. These gauge systems are intended to provide a quick display of the pump pressure. Model of these systems provided by Crown are Single Pointer, Compound Pointer, Unitized, and Standpipe pressure gauges.

-- Load Cells / Sensors

Load cells are designed to accurately read compression and tension loads on an indicator. The diaphragm protector keeps fluids from entering the internal parts of the system and come with hoses that can measure up to 50 ft. De-booster services the purpose while reducing line pressure by a 4:1 ratio.

-- Weight Indicator Systems

Weight Indicator Systems give readings for weighing of drilling mud, chemicals, and cement on land and offshore rigs. Crane weight indicators are made for use with deadline applications to indicate crane load. Wireline weight indicators systems protect downhole tools by accurately monitoring the amount of tension being placed on a line.

All of Crown and MD Totco's products are made to the same standard and will continue to do so until there is no natural oil left on this planet.

Tong Line Pull and Tong Torque Gauges

Tong Torque Gauges & Tong Line Pull

Tong Torque measurement systems accurately indicate torque applied to oilfield tubulars during make up and breakout operations, thereby reducing under and over torquing which can cause tubular failure. Each tong torque system consists of a hydraulic load cell (tension or compression type), hose assembly, 6" fluid filled gauge with damper assembly and recharge kit consisting of hand pump, and 1 quart of Crown Oilfield Instrumentation all weather instrument fluid. The two main types of Tong Torque Systems are:

Tong Line Pull Gauges

Indicates make-up or break-out torque (in pounds of line pull) for tool joints, drill collars, and drill string components. This type of system is used in applications where there are more than on set of tongs being used with different handle lengths. A 6” fluid-filled gauge reads directly in pounds of line pull which works in conjunction with a load cell that is connected directly to the tong handle. As each joint is made up, line pull is converted to a hydraulic pressure signal within the cylinder and sent to the gauge via a rubber hose, the gauge displays this signal as pounds of line pull. To determine the actual torque being applied you multiply the gauge reading by the tong handle length in feet. The gauge comes complete with a target pointer that the driller sets to a corresponding torque requirement. A large variety of systems are available with up to 30,000 pounds of single line pull. English, Metric, or dual scale systems are available.

Tong Torque Gauges

Indicates torque in foot pounds applied to each joint when using power tongs to run oilfield tubulars. These systems are available for all makes and models of power tongs and come with either compression or tension type load cells that provide an accurate check of make up torque for all oilfield tubulars. Dual scale variations are also available. Rugged, simple load cell designs guarantee extra long life and ease of maintenance.

Tong Torque Systems consist of a Tension or Compression Load Cell, 6” fluid filled Gauge, 5’ hydraulic hose (additional hose lengths available), fluid hand pump and 1quart of Crown Oilfield Instrumentation all weather instrument fluid.
