How the Type B Manual Tong Works
The Type B Manual Tong grips the pipe through matched latch lug jaws and latch steps. Before operation, the crew selects the correct jaw and step according to the outside diameter of the tubing, casing or drill pipe.
After placing the tong around the pipe, the jaw system grips the tubular body. The operator then applies force through the tong line or rig floor handling arrangement to complete make-up or break-out.
This mechanical design gives crews direct control during pipe connection work. It also allows quick adjustment when the job changes from one pipe size to another. Because the tong does not rely on hydraulic power, it remains a practical tool for drilling rigs, workover rigs and well service units.

The SGPE Q3.3/8~12.3/4-75 Type B Manual Tong helps buyers improve equipment flexibility, reduce downtime and support safer rig floor operations.
Its wide size range allows one tong to cover several oilfield tubular sizes. This helps reduce the need to prepare multiple separate tools for different pipe diameters.
The replaceable latch lug jaw and latch step system improves field adaptability. Crews can adjust the tong according to drilling, workover, tubing service or casing connection requirements.
The API 7K design also supports oilfield procurement needs. Drilling contractors, petroleum equipment distributors and well service companies can use this tong for projects that require recognized drilling and servicing equipment standards.
SGPE provides technical communication before shipment. This helps customers select the correct jaw, step and torque configuration for actual field use.
Product Selection Guide
To select the correct Type B Manual Tong, customers should first confirm the pipe outside diameter and pipe type. The pipe may be tubing, casing, drill pipe or another threaded oilfield tubular used in drilling, workover or well service operations.
Customers should also provide the required make-up or break-out torque, because the suitable tong configuration depends on both pipe size and torque demand. In addition, customers should consider the working condition on the rig floor, especially when the tong will serve heavy-duty drilling, workover, tubing service or casing connection operations.
The latch lug jaw number and latch step also play an important role in model selection. If customers already know the required jaw and step, they can provide these details directly. If not, SGPE can help confirm the correct configuration according to pipe OD, pipe type and field application.
For projects that need spare parts, customers can mention the required latch lug jaws, hinge pins, latch parts or other wearing components. If the order requires API 7K documentation, technical sheets or inspection-related documents, customers should include these requirements during the inquiry. Order quantity and expected delivery schedule can also help SGPE prepare a more accurate quotation.
For example, a drilling contractor handling 4-1/8 inch to 5-1/4 inch pipe may select a 5a jaw with latch step 2. A workover company handling larger casing sizes may need a 5d, 5e or 5el / 5e1 configuration.
SGPE can review the pipe size, torque requirement, field application and spare parts demand, then recommend a suitable Type B Manual Tong configuration for safe and efficient rig floor operation.
Quality and Manufacturing
SGPE focuses on practical oilfield performance. A manual tong must grip firmly, transfer torque smoothly and withstand harsh field conditions.
During production, SGPE controls machining, assembly and inspection according to the product structure and API Spec 7K requirements. The company checks key components such as latch lug jaws, tong heads, hinge pins, latch parts and contact surfaces.
Before delivery, SGPE supports configuration checking, size confirmation and spare parts communication. These steps help customers receive the correct manual tong for real drilling, workover and well service jobs.
SGPE can supply technical documents, inspection-related files and spare parts information according to order requirements.
Maintenance in Oilfield Operations
Proper maintenance helps extend service life and improve safety during tubular handling. After each drilling or workover operation, crews should clean mud, oil, sand and drilling fluid from the tong body, jaw area and latch structure. This simple routine helps keep the manual tong in good working condition and reduces wear on key gripping parts.
Before each job, operators should inspect the latch lug jaws, latch steps, hinge pins, handles and contact surfaces. If they find worn gripping parts, loose pins or damaged latch components, they should replace or repair them before operation. This helps prevent slipping, poor gripping and unstable torque transfer during make-up and break-out.
Crews should also lubricate moving parts as required and store the tong in a clean, dry area when they do not use it. During operation, they should always match the jaw and latch step with the correct pipe outside diameter. They should also avoid using the tong beyond its rated torque, because overload may damage the tool and increase safety risks on the rig floor.
Good maintenance protects the tong, improves rig floor safety and helps reduce thread damage during tubing, casing and drill pipe make-up and break-out operations.
