Each weight indictor is shipped Calibrated to three different line reeving combinations. Each Weight Indicator comes complete with one set of “Line shoes” that are specific to a given line size. The Type C is mounted directly onto the dead line and held in place by a wing nut. The Type C works on a deflection principle, the tighter the drill line gets the more force is applied to the mechanical linkages of the Type C and that in turn converts the deflection of the line into a shown weight on the Type C. The Type C is routinely used as the sole weight indicator or merely as a backup on hundreds of rigs and has proven to be reliable in all types of conditions.
Features:
Large dial face makes reading very easy.
Weight Indicator has two pointers, one for weight and the other for sensitivity.
Type C mounts to dead line so need for extra hose runs
Can be used on all line sizes simple by changing Line Shoes
