What Is Tricone Drill Bit ?

Tricone Drill Bit is an perfect drilling solution for soft, medium, or hard rock formations, it is connected with the drill stem and rotates along with it, and drive cones to pressed on the rock. Each cone rotates round the axis of its leg and three cones simultaneously revolve around the bit center. The tungsten carbide inserts on the cone shell cause the formation to spall under the weight on bit and the impact load of cone rotating, the debris will be discharged out to hole by compression air. Tricone drill bits come in several different varieties, and can deal with a wide range of different rock formations. It is important to know the type of formation you are drilling in when selecting a drill bit.

All of our bits are manufactured according to strict standards, set forth by the American Petroleum Institute (API). And classified according to characteristics set forth by the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC).

How to read an IADC Code properly

We took the following factors into consideration when designing:

1. Journal Angle - Journal angle determines the overall aggressiveness of the bottom hole profile. Soft formation rock bits employ a 33 degree angle while hard formation rock bits employ a 36 degree angle.
2. Cone Offset - Increased rate of penetration (ROP) can be achieved by offsetting the ceter line of the cone away from the center of bit rotation. This produces more on-bottom action. The higher the offset the greater the scraping and gouging action on bottom.
3. Cone Angle –Oversize angle controls the diameter of the cone at gage.

Soft to medium formation tricones employ a more round cone profile and a larger cone angle. This creates a bottom hole action of gouging and scraping.

Hard formation bits employ a smaller cone angle and a flatter cone profile. This creates a bottom hole action of crushing.

1. Oversize Angle - Oversize angle controls the diameter of the cone at gage.

Soft formation tricones employ a higher oversize angle; thus, escalating gage action and cone diameter.

Hard formation bits have very little or no oversize angle. This reduces the action on gage and also reaming of gage inserts.

1. Intermesh - Intermesh is the distance the top of a tooth or button bit insert extends into the grooves of adjacent cones. This spacing allows for cleaning of formation and prevents packing.
2. Projection and Pitch - Projection is the height of the button or tooth. Pitch is the space between teeth or inserts.

Application

Tricone drill bit is the best all-purpose drill bit and can be used for many different types of rock formations, such as Soft Rock Formations (consist mainly of sand, clay, limestone or shale), Medium Rock Formations (calcites, dolomites, hard limestones, and some hard shale), Hard and Abrasive Formation (hard shale, calcites, mudstones, chert, pyrite, granite, quartzite, and cherty lime stones).

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.

Thread protected to prevent it damaged during transportation.
