The relationship between equipment calibration and the precise matching of drill bits and drill pipes

  1. Equipment calibration is closely related to the precise matching of drill bits and pipes.
  2. After prolonged use, drilling rig parameters may deviate, such as verticality and rotation speed accuracy:
    • Inaccurate rig verticality shifts the axis of bits and pipes after installation, causing uneven stress during drilling. This impairs matching and may damage equipment.
    • Deviations in rotation speed accuracy change the bit’s cutting efficiency and torque on the pipe, hindering precise matching.
  3. Therefore, regularly calibrate drilling rigs and related equipment to keep parameters within normal ranges. Calibration provides an accurate benchmark for installing and using bits and pipes, ensuring they work in precise coordination to enhance construction quality and efficiency.drill bits
