| Contech
manufactures microprocessor-based systems that are used in the "non-destructive"
testing of Oil Country Tubular Goods. Proprietary hardware and "in-house"
software programming are joined to provide five individually unique
testing systems that are used in oil and gas exploration worldwide.
They
also manufacture a thread protector which is installed on Oil Country
Tubular Goods to ensure thread integrity during transportation.
The patented, non-ferrous latching mechanism provides quick installation
and removal of the protector in addition to extending crew safety.

Model
CT 4500 Computerized Torque Control System
The
CT 4500 Computerized Torque Control System is set up, programmed and operated
by the tong or bucking unit technician and mounts directly on the tong
and does not require an operator. The unit features real-time graphics
and can generate a hard copy report either while running or after job
completion. Like all of our products, this unit was designed, programmed
and manufactured in house. The CT 4500 model features a tong mounted graphic
system that requires no additional"on-site" personnel, as the
CT4500 can be operated by the tong operator. Solid state technology and
a 16 bit processor generates "real-time" graphics, LCD display
of torque, and produces a hard copy report.
