Page 3: Ba118 Petol Tm Bukup Tong Description
Bukup Tongs were designed for making up and breaking out casing, drill pipe, and tubular products requiring substantial torque while the pipe is essentially horizontal. The BA118 PETOL Bukup Tong will work diameters from 5-1/2 inches to 20 inches and up to 90,000 foot-pounds of torque. -

Page 8: Overloading / Shock Loads / Side Loading
Overloading / Shock Loads / Side Loading Attempting to “inch loads which are beyond the rated capacity of the tool. Striking the tool with a hammer or other object while force is being exerted in an attempt to loosen a “frozen” joint. Side pull can be caused by pulling or pushing on the tong in a direction that is not along a perpendicular plane, unleveled mounting of the tong or vise, inadequate support of the part being broken out, and improper seating of the part being broken out in the tong or vise. -
Page 9: Normal Life Expectancy
Protection from corrosion is important in storage as well as in service. The factory lubricant applied to PETOL Chain is a “Fingerprint Neutralizing Water-Displacing Corrosion Preventative.” This is an excellent rust and corrosion inhibitor for chains in storage. -
Page 10: Periodic Inspection List For Petol Tm Special Chain
Periodic Inspection List for PETOL Special Chain... - Page 11 If heating a chain with a cutting torch is absolutely necessary for removal, the chain must not be reused. 12. Inspect chains frequently and regularly for link plate cracking, pin turning, pin protrusion and corrosion. 13. Use only PETOL replacement parts to ensure proper strength.

Page 12: Operation
Operation The typical application of one Bukup Tong is shown in the figure below. Normally backup will be provided by an additional tong or by a vise. The backup tong or vise is not shown for clarity. The tong will exert torque when the line is pulled as shown below. The tong will ratchet when the tong is moved in the opposite direction. -
Page 13: Chain Adjustment
Chain Adjustment Position the tong onto the pipe. Wrap the chain around the pipe and latch into the jaw as shown in the figure below. Tighten the chain screw nut as tight as possible while still being able to latch onto the jaw. Verify that the flat of the chain screw does not contact the pipe. Contact with the pipe will cause premature failure of the chain screw. -

Torque and Diameter Capacity The following table lists the maximum working torques and the corresponding handle loads for the diameter range of the tong. Torque Maximum Maximum Length Torque Line Pull Diameter (inches) (foot-pounds) (pounds) 54.09 90,000 20,000 54.23 90,000 19,900 54.52 90,000... -
Page 18: Torque - Handle Load Formulas
Torque – Handle Load Formulas The following formula is used to determine the handle force required to produce a known torque: F = T / (0.0241*D + 4.375) Where F is the handle force in pounds, T is the desired torque in foot-pounds and, D is the diameter in inches. -

Page 22: Wear Limits
Wear Limits The following table indicates limiting diameters on the components of the PETOL™ Bukup Tong. When localized wear is beyond any one of the limits indicated, the component should be replaced. Part Description Location Limit diameter Number HP048 Jaw – handle pin Pin body 1.727 (min) -
Page 23: Non-Destructive Evaluation
Non-Destructive Evaluation The figures below indicate the critical areas of the tong handle and jaw. A critical area is defined as an area in which no unrepaired crack indications are permitted and in which no major weld repairs are permitted. There are no critical areas on the bar hanger. Weld repairs are only permitted on the handle, jaw, and bar hanger. -
Page 24: Weld Repairs
Weld Repairs Scope: This procedure is to be followed for minor repairs of crack indications in heat treated alloy steels. A weld repair shall be considered minor when the depth of the cavity does not exceed 30% of the actual wall thickness or 1 inch, whichever is smaller, or when the extent of the cavity does not exceed approximately 10 square inches.
