Maintenance of rock core drilling rigs in deep-sea hydrothermal areas

Rock core drilling rig here have complex structures and harsh working conditions, making maintenance critical.

 

  1. Regular inspections: Check all parts after each operation. Look for wear or corrosion, replace damaged parts promptly.
  2. Cleaning and maintenance: Remove seawater, sediment and impurities. Derust and paint metal parts to prevent worse corrosion.
  3. Function tests: Test functions regularly—drilling speed, sampling device tightness—ensuring stable performance.

 

Good maintenance extends the rigs’ service life, reduces failures, and ensures smooth exploration of deep-sea hydrothermal sulfides.Rock core drilling rig
