How the drilling rig tongs work and what is the function of snubline?
Drilling rig tongs are mechanical devices used to grip and turn the drill pipe during drilling operations. They consist of two halves that close around the pipe and are powered by hydraulic or manual mechanisms to apply sufficient torque for making or breaking connections. The snubline, typically a strong cable or rope, serves to control the movement of the tongs and the drill pipe, preventing it from rotating uncontrollably and ensuring safety during operations. This helps maintain stability and precision when handling heavy drilling equipment.
What is the use of breaker tongs?
Breaker tongs are specialized tools used primarily in the oil and gas industry for handling and connecting or disconnecting sections of pipe, particularly in drilling operations. They are designed to grip and turn heavy tubulars, such as drill pipe and casing, with precision and control. The design allows for safe and efficient operation, reducing the risk of injury and damage during pipe handling. Additionally, breaker tongs often include mechanisms for applying significant torque, essential for ensuring secure connections.
What are spinning tongs used for?
Hydraulics. They are used for oilfield drilling operations and widely applied in making up and breaking out of drill pipes. They are designed to be open-throat with high mobility to escape from the drill pipes freely. A drill pipe power tong consists of a spinning tong and a torque tong, it substitutes a cathead, suspension tong and spinning rope in making up and breaking out.

They are usually manipulated by the roustabouts during pipe changes or additions. Imagine a pair of grips that are at least 5 feet long and are tensioned by a winch operated by the driller on an oil rig "floor" . Most times a chain is used to do the initial tightening of the pipe joint but Tongs are needed for the final pinch up torques need to keep the keep the joint toght.
What type tool is used to latch onto drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe?
A tool commonly used to latch onto the drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe is called a "pipe ram" or "pipe wiper." This tool is typically part of the blowout preventer (BOP) system and is designed to create a secure seal around the drill pipe, allowing for safe and efficient operations. It helps prevent the escape of fluids and maintains well control during drilling operations.
What tool will be used drilling hole in plasterboard to fit a 15mm copper pipe through?
15mm drill bit and a drill.
What are drill pipe slips used for?
Drill pipe slips are used in drilling operations to securely hold the drill pipe in place while making connections or during tripping operations. They are designed to grip the pipe without damaging it, allowing for safe handling and preventing the pipe from falling or slipping during operation. By providing a stable support point, slips facilitate the efficient and safe management of the drilling process.
What type of tool is used to latch on to drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe?
It is a rod called the Kelly or Grief Stem.
