T6-86 Core Lifter - Set to Liner

A T6-86 Core Lifter - Set to Liner is a specific component used in conventional coring. This component is an essential part of the core barrel assembly, contributing to the secure collection and extraction of core samples from geological formations during drilling operations. 

Design and Function:

• The T6-86 Core Lifter - Set to Liner is designed as a cylindrical or tube-shaped mechanism that is positioned within the core barrel assembly, typically near the bottom of the inner tube or liner.

Secure Core Sample Holding:

• Its primary function is to securely hold the core sample during drilling. The core lifter prevents the core sample from dislodging or falling back into the borehole, ensuring its preservation and accurate collection.

Preventing Sample Contamination:

• The core lifter also acts as a protective barrier, preventing contamination of the core sample by drilling fluid, debris, or other materials. This helps maintain the integrity of the core sample.

Compatibility:

• The design and dimensions of the T6-86 Core Lifter - Set to Liner are specific to T6-86 core barrels, ensuring compatibility and seamless integration with other components of the core barrel assembly.

Sample Extraction:

• When the drilling process is complete, the core lifter is used to extract the core sample from the geological formation. It is carefully lifted, bringing the core sample along with it, while the "Set to Liner" feature helps secure the lifter within the liner.

Material and Durability:

• Core lifters are typically constructed from durable and corrosion-resistant materials, such as hardened steel, to withstand the demanding conditions of core drilling and maintain their functionality over multiple drilling operations.

Sample Preservation:

• The core lifter's design and secure holding mechanism are crucial for preserving the integrity of the core sample. It ensures that the collected core sample remains intact, undisturbed, and suitable for analysis.

Safety and Efficiency:

• The T6-86 Core Lifter - Set to Liner enhances the safety and efficiency of core drilling operations by contributing to the reliable collection and preservation of core samples. It minimizes the risk of sample loss or contamination and ensures accurate results from drilling projects.
