All Kinds Of Sizes Tricone Rock Bit Drilling Through Soft To Ultrahard Formations
Click here for catalogueTCI DRILL BIT.pdf
Hard to Very-Hard Formation
Application : For use in moderately abrasive consolidated formations with compressive strength ranging between 140 – 485 Mpa such as hard limestone, quartzite, granodiorite, and medium grade metamorphic formations
Cutting structure: These bits are characterized by closely spaced conical or spherical inserts with medium to low projection. This configuration promotes good penetration rates in hard, consolidated and very abrasive formations. Smaller carbide inserts are provided on the gage and inner rows or hard metal is deposited in the nose area to contain shell erosion and improve performance.
IADC 8 SERIES DRILL BITS
The hard formation TCI tricone bits can be used to drill hard and abrasive formations. Wear resistance tungsten carbide inserts are used in the outer rows to prevent loss of bit gauge. Maximum numbers of hemispherical shaped inserts are used in all rows to provide cutter durability and long life.
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 |
