IADC 6 SERIES DRILL BITS
These bits are used to drill high-compressive strength, medium hard formations. A small amount of cone offset and low insert projection is used to prevent cutting structure damage when hard streaks are encountered. Increased numbers of blunter, smaller diameter inserts are used to increase life in harder, more abrasive formations.
Structural Features
Tricone bit Cutting Structure
1. The durability of premium tungsten carbide inserts is improved with new formulas and new techniques for insert bit.
2. Tricone bit Gauge Structure
Multiple gauge protection with gauge trimmers on heel and gauge inserts on the gauge surface of the cone, tungsten carbide inserts and hardfacing on the shirttail increases gauge holding capability and bearing life.
3. Tricone bit Sealed Bearing Structure and Lubrication
High precision bearing with two thrust faces. Balls lock the cone.Hardface heard bearing surface. Cone bearing inlaid with friction-reducing alloy. Abrasion resistance and seizure resistance of the bearing are improved and suitable for high rotary speed. Grease compensator to maintain pressure inside the bearing and improve lubrication.
4. Tricone bit Sealed Bearing Structure
API standard threads are turned with precision machining making them concentric to the gage rows for uniform loading on bearings.
Common fault analysis of Tricone bits
Common fault | Fault description | Method |
Early wear of the shirttail | 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. | The designer should strength the shirttail with certain measures to increase the wear-resistance capacity of shirttails. |
Early wear and loose movement of the bearing | 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. | Reduce bit pressure and increase air pressure |
Cutting structure failure | Excessive WOB or Rotation speed; Wrong bit selection; Cuttings blowing in bad conditions caused repeating crushing. | Correctly select operating parameters and rotary types for specific working conditions |
