FAQ : DTH-DRILL PIPES (HEX)

What makes a great DTH-Drill Pipe?

A great DTH-drill pipe has to be robust and reliable. It has to withstand even the toughest conditions and forces applied in the DTH-drilling process. Because of the investment-nature of the drill pipes, we are committed in delivering long-lasting products that can also be maintained & extended during their service life. 

Do you maintain old DTH-Drill Pipes?

Yes. We perform all kinds of maintenance for old DTH-drill pipes. We design procedures ourselves, based on the damage on each pipe. Maintenance design & works are performed in the Tampere area. 

Is there a difference between a DTH-Drill Rod & DTH-Drill Pipe?

DTH-drill pipe is commonly used for larger diameter applications, since they are produced as a double layer system. However, the terminology is often mixed. Therefore, many professionals also call them DTH-drill rods, even though the term “drill rod” is commonly used for smaller diameter, single layer applications.

When do you recommend API REG. Threads and when HEX-joints?

Commonly, we recommend to use API REG. Thread Drill Rods in diameters that are 219mm or smaller.  273mm & upwards – we recommend HEX joints. This is due to the fact that in larger diameters, API REG. threads are sometimes difficult to open.  

What is the smallest reasonable diameter for double-layer DTH-Drill Pipe?

In most occasions, the double layered drill pipes should be used in diameters 406mm – 1100mm. Double pipes increase the capacity of the DTH-drill pipes. Double layered DTH-drill pipes are sometimes called Double-Wall drill pipes.  

How do I know my HEX type and dimensions?

  • All HEX joints are different, and models vary for example in length, corners, pin locations and sealing system.
  • We can visit your workshop, conduct measurements and prepare drawings in order to confirm the right dimensions. 

What is the maximum length for a single DTH-Drill Pipe?

For site operation & transport purposes, we recommend to use lengths that are below 12 meters / drill pipe. 

Is it possible to order customized DTH Drill Pipes?

Tri-Mach produces most of the DTH-drill pipes with some customization for Driller preferences. It is possible to customize almost everything. For example, it has been popular to create Heavy Duty DTH-drill pipes for increasing their lifetime.  

I have extra HEX-joints at my warehouse. Can you use those for making DTH-Drill Pipes?

Yes. We can re-use old materials and create some new DTH-drill pipes from those as well. Normally, we can re-use HEX-joints & pile steel casings (provided they are in good condition). This is a good way to save some materials and costs. 

I have extra steel casings at my warehouse. Can I use those for creating new DTH-Drill Pipes?

Yes. Provided they are in good condition (round, no dents), using old steel casings is a good way to save some time & cost in production.
