Torque Tool Controller

The Fathom Systems iVP based intelligent torque tool controller is a field proven fully proportional intelligent valve pack using industry standard directional and pressure control valves.

It provides hydraulic control requirements for all smart Hi-Lo torque tool operations of classes 1 to 5, including FLOT (flying lead orientation tool) and maybe interfaced with all major torque tools currently available including Subsea 7, Forum (Perry), impROV, Oceaneering, Oceanworks, Saipem, Seanic, Zetechtics and Petrobras spec.

The fully integrated subsea unit, typically 3 or 5 functions, is supplied with a dedicated PC operating Fathom Systems Windows® based torque tool control software. The easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI) guarantees that critical operations can be performed to the highest and safest levels. The system may be interfaced with all standard  API17D and Petrobras torque tools, with an automatic calibration using an RS232 output to the torque analyser. If the RS232 output is not available, the system can still be calibrated by manually inputting torque readings. In the absence of a tool, a simulator is available that verifies torque and turns feedback before diving. Real time torque and turns feedback and a single channel video overlay provide the operator with all the tools required for a safe and successful operation.
