The Hydraulic Horseshoe Dynamometer system uses a 5-inch horseshoe transducer in conjunction with a spool assembly that is permanently located on the well for acquisition and interpretation of:
The following summarizes the system configuration and products included in this package:
The 50 KLb transducer is used with a spool assembly that has a 2†tube with end spacers that fits over the polished rod which allows insertion of the 5†horseshoe load cell and an associated hydraulic jack. A hydraulic pump is used to transfer the load on the polished rod to the 5†horseshoe transducer. This is a very safe and convenient technique for quickly installing a horseshoe type load cell. The 5†horseshoe transducer raises the polished rod only 1/8†so the plunger remains operating in the same portion of the pump barrel.
