How Is Hook Load Best Measured on Onshore Drilling Rigs?
18th Jun 2026In theory, the principle of measuring hook load on an onshore drilling rig appears straightforward. But in practice, it presents a series of mechanical, environmental and operational challenges that demand carefully engineered force measurement solutions.
How Do You Specify the Right Load Cell for Onshore Oil and Gas Applications?
15th Jun 2026Onshore does not mean benign. A refinery lifting operation, land rig hook load system or HDD pipeline pull can impose forces, risks and certification requirements every bit as serious as an offshore topside application.
How Do You Specify the Right Load Cell for Offshore Lifting Applications?
26th May 2026Specifying the correct load monitoring equipment for offshore lifting is rarely straightforward. Offshore oil and gas operations involve a wide range of lifting systems – each with different mechanical arrangements, environmental conditions and operational demands.
How Do Offshore Load Cells Withstand Harsh Marine Environments?
19th May 2026Offshore oil and gas environments are among the most demanding operating conditions faced by industrial instrumentation and load monitoring equipment. Constant exposure to seawater, salt-laden air, vibration, dynamic loading and severe weather creates a challenging environment in which equipment reliability is absolutely critical.
Which Load Cell Types Are Best for Offshore Oil and Gas Applications?
14th May 2026Offshore oil and gas operations place enormous demands on lifting and load monitoring equipment. Whether installed on offshore cranes, mooring systems, winches, riser tensioning systems or subsea handling equipment, offshore load cells must continue to operate reliably under some of the harshest conditions found anywhere in industry.
