What are the types of Sandvik drill pipes and drills?

Date: Feb. 28, 2024

There are several types of Sandvik drill pipes and drills. They can be broadly divided into three categories: fixed-length, single-length, and multiple-length. Fixed-length drills are designed to be used for single-hole applications, while single-length and multiple-length drills are typically used for multiple-hole applications. Each type of drill pipe and drill has its own advantages and applications. Here are a few examples:

Fixed-length drills are suitable for single-hole applications where the length of the drill pipe is fixed, typically up to 1.6 meters (5.4 feet) long. The length of the pipe allows the drilling operation to be accomplished quickly and accurately. The lack of need for frequent changeovers during drilling can also be an advantage.

Single-length drills are typically used for drilling shallower holes, typically less than 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep, where the drilling depth is not too deep for fixed-length drills. The small length of the drill pipe allows the drilling operation to be accomplished more easily and quickly.

Multiple-length drills are typically used for drilling deeper holes, typically greater than 2 meters (6.5 feet) deep, where the drilling depth is greater than the length of fixed-length drills. The multiple-length design allows the drilling operation to be accomplished more economically, and can be used to drill multiple holes at different depths simultaneously.
