Deflection Type Weight Indicators Model CDT-1013

DEFLECTION-TYPE (CLIPPER) WEIGHT INDICATOR MODEL CDT-1013

Deflection Type Weight Indicators

Compact, versatile, portable weight indicator for small drilling and workover rigs

Designed for use on small drilling units, the Deflection-type Weight Indicator is easy to move from rig to rig. The Weight Indicator system consists of a Gauge and a Deadline Diaphragm, connected by a high-pressure Hose. The deadline diaphragm converts line-load into a hydraulic pressure signal that is transmitted to the gauge. All system components fit inside a steel container for convenient, compact storage. Built-in handles make the entire system easy to transport.

Compact, versatile, portable weight indicator for small drilling and workover rigs

Instant, accurate indications of total hook load and net weight on bit enable faster, more efficient drilling

Designed for use on small drilling units, the Deflection-type Weight Indicator is easy to move from rig to rig. The Weight Indicator system consists of a Gauge and a Deadline Diaphragm, connected by a high-pressure Hose. The deadline diaphragm converts line-load into a hydraulic pressure signal that is transmitted to the gauge. All system components fit inside a steel container for convenient, compact storage. Built-in handles make the entire system easy to transport.

Each weight indictor is shipped with 10 dials so moving it from rig to rig is easy and by simply changing a dial you can switch between drill line size and number of lines strung. Each Weight Indicator system consists of a Gauge, Deadline Diaphragm connected by a high-pressure Hose and a C-Clamp to attach the diaphragm to the drill line. The deadline diaphragm works on a deflection principle, the tighter the drill line gets the more force is applied to the diaphragm which converts the deflection to hydraulic pressure and sends that pressure to the 12”gauge which displays weight. 

FEATURES: 

12-inch gauge comes standard. 

Complete set of 10 dials included from 2-lines 7/8” to 8-Lines 1” 

Weight Indicator has two pointers, one for weight and the other for sensitivity which is a 6:1 ratio and ideal for work such as setting packers and bridge plugs. 

Standard model comes in a compact box. Larger box available to with space for 5 6” gauges and one circular recorder. 

48,000-pound maximum single-line load with 1” drill line 

25-foot heavy duty hose standard. Other lengths available upon request 

Circular recorder (optional) can record weight. 

Available in English, Metric and SI Metric 

BENEFITS 

Ready for immediate use out of the crate. Each system is assembled, calibrated and tested before 

Shipping. System is shipped as a sealed unit from the factory with Rigchina All Weather Instrument Fluid. 

Two adjustable dampers, one for weight and one for sensitivity allow the operator to have full control of the desired sensitivity. 

Versatile mounting options allows the weight indicator to be mounted just about anywhere on the drill floor but the diaphragm and Indicator gauge should be mounted at roughly the same height.
