Core Drilling Diamond Bits
Diamond core drilling involves the use of a diamond-impregnated drill bit to extract cylindrical samples of the subsurface. The drill bit consists of a steel tube with industrial-grade diamonds embedded in the cutting surface. As the bit rotates, these diamonds grind away the rock, creating a core sample that remains inside the tube.
Varieties of diamond Bits are used in Geological core drilling application. However, the most popular types are Impregnated diamond Bits, surface set diamond bits, PDC bits, reaming shell and casing shoes.
Selection of Bits type are basically determined by ground conditions of drilling task. The good matching of bits selected to the right rock formation of drilling will guarantee the faster penetration rates across different ground condition.
The most popular reference referred to for Diamond Bit selection are Mohs Scale of mineral hardness which is very helpful.
For Matrix Selection of the bit for adaptation to ground condition and geological formation of the minerals core rigs explores.
Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness
In 1812 the Mohs scale of mineral hardness was devised by the German mineralogist Frederich Mohs (1773-1839), who selected the ten minerals because they were common or readily available. The scale is not a linear scale, but somewhat arbitrary.

Associations and Uses |
1 |
Talc |
Talcum powder. |
2 |
Gypsum |
Plaster of Paris. Gypsum is formed when seawater evaporates from the Earth’s surface. |
3 |
Calcite |
Limestone and most shells contain calcite. |
4 |
Fluorite |
Fluorine in fluorite prevents tooth decay. |
5 |
Apatite |
When you are hungry you have a big "appetite". |
6 |
Orthoclase |
Orthoclase is a feldspar, and in German, "feld" means "field". |
7 |
Quartz |
Watches, mood stones |
8 |
Topaz |
The November birthstone. Emerald and aquamarine are varieties of beryl with a hardness of 8. |
9 |
Corundum |
Sapphire and ruby are varieties of corundum. Twice as hard as topaz. |
10 |
Diamond |
Used in jewelry and cutting tools. Four times as hard as corundum. |

Wireline Reaming Shell
As an integral part of a core drilling system, reaming shell functions a coupling between the core bit and the outer barrel. This item reams the drill hole to the right size and keeps the bottom of drilling string stabilized in the drilling process.
Reaming Shell is produced with high-quality, synthetic and natural diamonds, embedded in a highly resistant matrix.
To secure better performance of this drilling, the friction-resistant tungsten carbide are inserted on the leading edges of the ring significantly prolong the life span of drilling system and enhance the core recovery efficiency with less viberation.
