Selecting Your Leopard Impregnated Bits Matrix Hardness
Wireline coring success relies on matching matrix hardness to the geology encountered. Therefore, Technidrill offers Leopard Impregnated Bits with three specialized matrices based on the Mohs hardness scale:
- TS7 Serie: This matrix is ideal for medium-hard to hard rock with low abrasiveness. Consequently, it delivers an extended service life and maximizes your drilled meters.
- TS9 Serie: Tailored for hard, fine-grained rock, this bit cuts with high precision through compact formations.
- TS11 Serie: This is the ultimate tool for severe formations exceeding 8 on the Mohs scale. Moreover, this matrix continuously exposes fresh diamonds in unyielding rock.
Operating Tips and Waterway Profiles for Leopard Impregnated Bits
In variable ground, always anticipate the hardest rock first. Select the lowest matrix hardness capable of drilling that rock. Furthermore, carefully reduce penetration rate in abrasive layers to protect the bit. Standard impregnation height is 13 mm. Technidrill provides three hydraulic profiles:
- Standard Waterway (STD): This profile provides a large contact surface. As a result, it absorbs vibrations and delivers steady penetration.
- Turbo Waterway: Available from B-size up, this design reduces bit face contact area. Consequently, it increases unit pressure and stimulates self-sharpening.
- Face Discharge: Available from N-size up, dedicated ports discharge fluid outward. Thus, it eliminates core wash-out in friable formations.
