IADC 6 SERIES DRILL BITS

The medium formation TCI tricone bits features aggressive chisel tungsten carbide inserts on the heel rows and inner rows.

This design provides a fast drilling rate and added cutting structure durability in medium to medium hard for mations.

The HSN rubber O-ring provides adequate sealing for bearing durability.

Advantage:

1. Suitable for soft to extremely hard and abrasive formations.
2. High temperature heat treatment forged alloy steel.
3. Specifically designed tungsten carbide insert.
4. Advanced synthetic grease improves bearing lubrication and reliability.
5. Sealed bearing can improves bearing life for longer drilling time and more footage drilled.
6. Tungsten carbide pucks added on the shirttail to protect against abrasive applications.
7. Thread protected to prevent it damaged during transportation.

Common fault analysis of Tricone bits

1. Early wear of the shirttail

Fault description: Abrasive formations, bent drill rod, seriously worn stabilizer and insufficient air for drilling rate attained etc, are all the causes which result in premature shirttail wear. In this case, the configuration of cones is good and the amount of inserts wear is small. Shairttail wear can also allow the big roller bearings to fall out resulting in bit failure.

Method: The designer should strength the shirttail with certain measures to increase the wear-resistance capacity of shirttails.

2. Early wear and loose movement of the bearing

Fault description: Excessive weight on bit, insufficent air to clean the hole and/or cool the bearing, leads to bearings overheating due to improper cooling and poor cuttings removal can shorten the service life of bit bearing.

Method: Reduce bit pressure and increase air pressure.

3. Cutting structure failure

Fault description: Excessive WOB or Rotation speed; Wrong bit selection; Cuttings blowing in bad conditions caused repeating crushing.

Method: Correctly select operating parameters and rotary types for specific working conditions
