Hydraulic Power Source

Specifications
The Model 16 tong is designed to be powered by a hydraulic power source
capable of delivering 2,400 psi (175 bar) and 30 gpm (113.6 lpm) for high-
torque, low-speed operation.
For high-speed operation the power source should develop 70 gpm (227.1
lpm) at pressure up to 1,000 psi (69 bar). A load-responsive power source
should be used for optimum results.
Note that the pressure output (psi) of the power source is related directly to
the maximum torque output of the tong. The power source flow output (gpm) is
directly related to the output speed of the tong.
