It holds the drill tube steady and is the path for oil or water to return when found.
Use 7/64 as tap drill and 9/64 as clearance drill
To effectively drill holes in PVC pipe for irrigation, use a drill with a sharp bit that is the same size as the desired hole. Mark the location of the holes on the pipe, then drill slowly and steadily to avoid cracking the PVC. Clean any burrs from the holes to ensure smooth water flow.
The tongs that torque the drill pipe are typically referred to as "torque tongs" or "pipe tongs." These specialized tools are designed to apply a specific amount of torque to the drill pipe connections, ensuring they are properly tightened during drilling operations. Torque tongs come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different pipe diameters and torque specifications required for safe and efficient drilling. Their use is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the drill string and preventing leaks or failures during operations.
A 4 inch drill pipe torque is used for fishing in small casing.
Hydraulic drill pipe tongs. They are available in tubular sizes 2-3/8" to 12 in".
Mandrel for drifting the casing or drill pipe is forged with high-strength alloy steel, strict heat treatment process.
Hydraulic drill pipe tongs. They are available in tubular sizes 2-3/8" to 12 in".
A tool commonly used to latch onto the drill string while hoisting or lowering drill pipe is called a "pipe ram" or "pipe wiper." This tool is typically part of the blowout preventer (BOP) system and is designed to create a secure seal around the drill pipe, allowing for safe and efficient operations. It helps prevent the escape of fluids and maintains well control during drilling operations.
The drill pipe is placed in the wellbore to make a connection at the surface, typically at the rotary table or a similar connection point. This allows for the alignment of the pipe with the floating or rig equipment, ensuring a secure and effective connection. Once aligned, the drill pipe can be threaded or mechanically locked into place to facilitate drilling operations.
There is a special chuck on the lower end of the turntable that turns the pipe.
The use of eye protection is required, if you have a drill motor, get yourself a wire brush attachment and put it in the end of the drill motor, plug the drill motor in, put your eye protection on and begin removing the foam. You may have to scrape some of the foam off from the back side of the pipe before all the foam is completely removed.
Drill pipe slips are used in drilling operations to securely hold the drill pipe in place while making connections or during tripping operations. They are designed to grip the pipe without damaging it, allowing for safe handling and preventing the pipe from falling or slipping during operation. By providing a stable support point, slips facilitate the efficient and safe management of the drilling process.
