Key Aspects of Remanufacturing
REMAN:
Remanufacturing (REMAN) of oilfield handling tools is a process that involves restoring used equipment to like-new condition. This process includes disassembling, inspecting, repairing, and reassembling the equipment to ensure it meets or exceeds original manufacturer specifications. Companies such as Power Unit Builders and Handling Tools, LLC, located east of Houston in Liberty, TX, specialize in the remanufacturing of oilfield handling tools.

Repair: Rebore & Inspect
Rebuilt: Handling Tools & Power Tongs
Magnetic Particle Inspection • MPI
Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) and load testing are critical quality control methods used in the remanufacturing (REMAN) of oilfield handling tools. These methods ensure that the tools meet safety and performance standards for use in the oilfield. Here's an overview of how these processes is applied in REMAN:
- MPI is used to detect surface and near-surface flaws such as cracks, seams, and inclusions in ferromagnetic materials.
- It helps ensure the integrity and safety of remanufactured oilfield handling tools.
- Cleaning: The surface of the tool is thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants.
- Magnetization: The tool is magnetized using a magnetic field.
- Application of Particles: Ferromagnetic particles (dry or wet) are applied to the surface of the tool.
- Detection: The particles accumulate at areas of discontinuity, such as cracks, creating visible indications.
- Inspection: A trained inspector evaluates the indications to identify potential flaws.

Third-Party Load Testing
- Load testing verifies that remanufactured oilfield handling tools can handle the expected loads during operation.
- It ensures the structural integrity and safety of the tools.
- Set-up: The tool is secured in a test rig.
- Application Load: A controlled load is applied gradually to the tool, often up to and beyond its rated capacity.
- Measurement: The load, deformation, and other parameters are measured and monitored.
- Evaluation: The tool's performance underload is evaluated to ensure it meets the required specifications.
- Load testing verifies that remanufactured oilfield handling tools can handlLoad testing provides confidence in the tool's ability to perform safely under operational conditions.
- It helps identify any weaknesses or areas of concern that may need further attention
- Load testing is performed according to industry standards and guidelines, such as API standards for oilfield equipment.
