What is the difference between a DTH drill and a PDC drill?
The differences between DTH drill bits and PDC Drill Bits are mainly as follows:
1. Principle of operation:
DTH drill bit relies on high wind pressure or high pressure water drive; PDC drill bit mainly relies on the cutting action of polycrystalline diamond composite.
2. Applicable stratum:
DTH drill bits are suitable for hard formations; PDC drill bits have better adaptability in various formations.
3. Drilling speed:
In some cases, the drilling speed of a DTH drill may be higher.
4. Wear resistance:
PDC drill bits have good abrasion resistance.
5. Cost:
PDC drill bits have a relatively high cost.
6. Longevity:
PDC drill bits usually have a long service life.
7. Application areas:
DTH drill bits are commonly used in mineral and geological fields; PDC drill bits are widely used in oil and gas industries.
8. Cutting method:
DTH drill bits are mainly used for impact crushing; PDC drill bits are mainly used for cutting.
In actual application, which drill bit to choose needs to be considered according to specific geological conditions, engineering requirements and costs.
