In addition, all V-Wall steering in deviated hole applications. ROD OVERVIEW rods undergo a unique combination of heat treatment processes for performance in demanding Annular clearance between the core barrel and the applications. interior wall of the rod has increased which enables an increase in core barrel descent speed. With up to 30% less weight in your drill string, you’ll be able to manage more coring rods – increasing your existing drill’s depth capacity. For example, a drill rated for 2500 m will be able to manage a 3250 m drill string using V-Wall.

Operating torque should not exceed make-up torque. • Load efficiency is an excellent indicator of load capacity and fatigue strength. Choose a high efficiency joint in deep or deviated holes.
