Frequently Asked Questions
This bit is specifically designed for soft to medium formations with low compressive strength, such as medium-soft shale, limestone, and sandstone, including those with harder abrasive interbeds.
No. To ensure the longevity of the bearings and teeth, the upper limits of Weight on Bit (WOB) and Rotations Per Minute (RPM) should not be used at the same time.
The bit must be lowered slowly according to prescribed procedures. Upon contact with the bottom, press gently (5-15kN) and turn slowly (60r/min) for 30 minutes before increasing to normal parameters.
Drill bits should be stored indoors in a dry, ventilated area protected from sun and rain, with temperatures maintained between 10-30°C.
Nozzle selection should be based on your specific hydraulic parameters. Ensure the nozzle hole size grade difference is not too large to prevent erosion of the flow channel.
If abnormalities like jump drilling occur, you should immediately analyze the cause and take effective measures, such as adjusting the WOB or RPM, to stabilize the drilling process.
