In down-hole drilling operations, equipment is exposed to extreme temperatures, high-pressure environments, and intense mechanical stress. HITEC’s custom strain gauges play a crucial role in these scenarios by measuring subtle deformations in vital equipment components deep underground.

These gauges are integrated into:

  • Drill collars
  • Stabilizers
  • Measurement While Drilling (MWD) tools

They deliver real-time feedback on stress and load data, giving engineers the insights they need to prevent equipment failure, enhance safety, and avoid unplanned outages. Engineered for reliability, HITEC strain gauges operate in temperatures exceeding 150°C, resist corrosion from harsh fluids, and perform under intense vibration. This resilience ensures accurate measurements, extended equipment lifespan, and improved drilling efficiency.
