Save money and time by knowing how to use the IADC (International Association of Drilling Contractors) code system. Learn how to match drill bits to the correct IADC code to classify and properly categorize the drill bit needed to drill to certain specifications. Of benefit to all drillers, this workshop will provide you with a better understanding of bearing design, cutting structures, and other features of tricone drill bits. Discover how to determine the compressive strength of rock through a process of elimination using geological charts, which can help you choose the correct drill bit for the given job.
