Special design requirements for rock core drilling rigs in deep-sea hydrothermal areas

News 2 Views
The extreme environment of deep-sea hydrothermal areas imposes strict demands on rock core drilling rig design.

 

  1. Pressure resistance: Deep seas have enormous water pressure. Rigs need ultra-strong pressure-resistant shells to work normally at thousands of meters, avoiding damage.
  2. Anti-corrosion ability: Seawater in hydrothermal areas is rich in corrosive substances like sulfides. Metal parts of rigs must use special anti-corrosion materials to extend service life.
  3. Precise controllability: Hydrothermal areas have complex terrain. Rigs need high-precision navigation and control systems to reach target positions accurately, avoiding unnecessary damage to hydrothermal ecosystems.

These special designs allow rock core drilling rig to work stably in harsh deep-sea hydrothermal environments, providing reliable support for exploration.
