-
Drill Bit Attachment: The head assembly accommodates the attachment of drill bits, enabling the drilling of boreholes and facilitating penetration into various geological formations. The secure connection ensures efficient energy transfer to the bit during drilling.
-
Rotation Transmission: The head assembly plays a role in transmitting rotation from the drill string to the attached drilling tools. This is essential for effective drilling and the penetration of subsurface materials.
-
Sturdy Construction: Constructed from durable materials, the head assembly is designed to withstand the forces and stresses encountered during drilling operations. Its robust construction ensures longevity and reliable performance in diverse geological conditions.
-
Versatility: The HWL Head Assembly is engineered for versatility, allowing drilling operators to adapt to different drilling conditions by easily changing and connecting various tools and components.
HWL Core Barrel
An HWL core barrel typically comprises key components, including an outer tube, inner tube, and a core lifter. The core lifter is a crucial mechanism designed to securely hold and extract the core sample from the geological formation. The inner tube is used to collect the core sample, while the outer tube provides protection to the core sample during drilling and retrieval. HWL core barrels adhere to specific dimensions, with an inner tube diameter of approximately 3.0 inches (76.2 millimetres).
This standardized size allows HWL core barrels to be compatible with a variety of drilling equipment and systems. HWL core barrels are commonly used in drilling projects related to geological exploration, mineral sampling, geotechnical investigations, and other applications that require a moderately-sized core sample for analysis.
