- Excellent interchangeability: All connections are designed according to NUMA-standard hexagonal joints, ensuring high interchangeability with mainstream large-diameter DTH systems.
- Customizable length range: Drill pipe lengths can be customized from 1m to 12m, allowing flexible configuration to suit different drilling depths and rig setups.
- Hexagonal quick-connection design: The hexagonal male-female joint design significantly reduces make-up and break-out time.
- Due to the heavy weight of large-diameter drill pipes, installation is typically assisted by a crane. Once the hex joint is properly aligned, the pipe is secured with a locking pin, enabling fast, safe, and reliable installation.
- Excellent air sealing performance: The drill pipes provide reliable air sealing with minimal leakage, making them well suited for DTH drilling operations using high-capacity air compressors.
- Optimized pipe diameter for air efficiency: The pipe diameter is designed to closely match the drill bit diameter, improving air utilization efficiency during drilling and reducing compressor air consumption, thereby lowering overall operating costs.
The drill pipe diameter should be selected to closely match the drill bit diameter in order to ensure efficient air flow and stable drilling performance. For formations dominated by hard rock, double-wall drill pipes are recommended, as they provide improved air delivery and structural strength. In formations containing large amounts of sand, gravel, or soil, spiral drill pipes are more suitable due to their enhanced cuttings removal capability.
Before drilling, after the drill pipe is connected to the drilling rig, compressed air should be blown through the pipe to remove any internal debris. This prevents contaminants generated during manufacturing or transportation from entering the DTH hammer and affecting its service life. After use, drill pipes should be stored in a dry and well-ventilated environment. When conditions permit, applying a protective oil coating to the outer surface is recommended to help prevent corrosion and extend service life.
