T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard

A T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard is a specific component used in conventional coring. This component is essential for the secure and efficient collection of core samples from geological formations during drilling operations. 

Design and Function:

• The T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard is designed as a cylindrical or tube-shaped casing that is positioned within the core barrel assembly, typically near the bottom of the inner tube or liner.

Secure Core Lifter Housing:

• Its primary function is to securely house the core lifter assembly within the inner tube or liner. The core lifter assembly is a critical mechanism that holds and extracts the core sample from the geological formation.

Protection and Guidance:

• The T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard provides protection to the core lifter assembly, safeguarding it from damage during drilling operations. Additionally, it guides the core lifter, ensuring that the core sample remains intact during extraction.

Compatibility:

• The design and dimensions of the T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard 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 assembly, housed within the lifter case, is used to extract the core sample from the geological formation. The lifter case ensures that the core lifter assembly functions correctly.

Material and Durability:

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

Sample Preservation:

• The T6-86 Lifter Case - Standard is integral in preserving the integrity of the core sample. By protecting the core lifter assembly and the core sample during drilling and extraction, it contributes to the accurate and reliable collection of core samples.

Safety and Efficiency:

• The lifter case enhances the safety and efficiency of core drilling operations by ensuring the proper functioning of the core lifter assembly and the preservation of core samples. It minimizes the risk of sample loss or contamination.
