Weight Monitoring System for Riser Pipe Rigs

In recent years, there have been repeated incidents of damage to wells at various locations while-they were in operation. These were due to an increase in the tensile force in the riser pipe, up to the critical axial load, caused by changes in temperature, changes in pressure, hydromechanics, alternating loads and rock mechanical processes, and were the impetus for developing a weight monitoring system for riser pipe rigs. The purpose of this weight monitoring system is to prevent damage to riser pipe rigs during operation by detecting load changes early and both measuring and monitoring the axial loads upon them. The weight monitoring system's "intelligent" support element can be used with all common landing bolts and tension and tubing spool rams at wellheads from different manufacturers, to suspend and monitor riser pipe rigs that are under mechanical pre-tension.
