• Contains no natural diamonds in order to eliminate the possibility of core sample contamination.
• Inside and outside gauge diameter integrity is maintained with heavily reinforced tungsten carbide particles (eliminates the need for natural diamonds).
• Manufactured with a very erosion resistant matrix.
• High penetration rates are common due to maximum setting exposure of the TSD elements providing an aggressive cutting face.
• Large waterways for improved flushing of large cuttings.
• TSD triple-tube face discharge bits are used with Boart Longyear triple-tube core barrels.
• The design of the face discharge waterways and core lifter case forces the majority of the discharge fluid to the bit face.
• Core can be recovered and inspected in a virtually undisturbed condition with the triple-tube system.
• TSD bits are commonly used for exploration of diamond bearing Kimberlite formations.
• Suitable for geotechnical drilling applications.
• Although best suited for soft ground conditions, intermittent hard ground can be tolerated.
