The SCT516 PETOL SURGRIP BELT TONG Strap Wrench was designed for making up and breaking out casing. It is rated for operation on 5in. to 16in. diameters. The tong is adjusted by exchanging belts to work different nominal sizes of casing. The SCT 516 offers the following features: A high strength aramid fiber belt with polyurethane covering to grip the pipe and reduce the weight dramatically as compared to chain or lug jaws. The tong is designed such that in case of an overload, the belt would fracture and extend. The tong will stay connected to the casing and no fragments would be expelled from the tong. A hanger attached to the tong handle to suspend the tong during operation with multiple mounting holes to achieve a proper balance point. The PETOL BELT TONG strap wrench utilizes a lightweight composite strap to provide features that are truly amazing. The strap is actually stronger than chain - and you don’t have to worry about rust or corrosion. While torque will vary according to diameter, it can deliver up to 197,500 ft.-lbs. of torque. (See Torque Tables on this page and Product Bulletin for details.) One of the most important features of the strap is that it will not come apart, even when it’s broken. Although all tools are safe when used properly, this feature offers added safety in that there are no flying parts if the BELT TONG strap wrench is over-torqued. Straps for the BELT TONG strap wrench must be ordered separately. The BELT TONG strap wrench is available in seven sizes with composite straps to accommodate pipe sizes from 5in. to 72in. O.D. The PETOL BELT TONG strap wrench is extremely easy to use. The lightweight strap, an adjustable hanger that keeps the wrench in perfect balance for easy application and ratcheting, and a pin that quickly latches and unlatches the strap, combine to make operating the wrench a snap. In fact, it’s so easy only two rig personnel are required. Each BELT TONG strap wrench comes equipped with two PETOL Diamond Point Inserts which can be quickly changed out when necessary. The SCT1020, SCT1020H, SCT1838 and SCT2036 can be adjusted to grip the main body of the pipe or the pipe upset as needed. Prior to shipment, every BELT TONG strap wrench is magnetic particle inspected, load tested, and magnetic particle inspected again. WARNING - Do Not Exceed Maximum Working Load.
