Date: Feb. 28, 2024

Circular extended drill rods are typically used with diamond core drilling rigs in the mining and exploration industries. These rods are designed to provide a stable and rigid connection between the drill bit and the drilling rig. The frequency of replacement of these rods depends on various factors such as the frequency of use, the depth of the drilling, the hardness of the rock, the type of drill bit used, and the maintenance practices employed. However, it is recommended that they should be inspected regularly and replaced when signs of wear and tear such as cracks, bends or excessive wear on the threads are detected.
