| Various Methods of Diamond core drilling Diamond core drilling is a low noise, dust free and non-percussive drilling method used to make smooth holes. Diamond core drilling techniques are required when you need a precise circular penetration. Using diamond core drilling techniques you can make holes of any size and depth. Diamond core drilling can be used for construction installation applications, water system applications, earthwork quality inspection applications, electrical system applications, gas supply system applications, heating system applications, railway installation application, bridge installation application, plumbing application, telecommunication line installation application, concrete sample analysis, anchoring bolts, and mining application. Rotary core diamond drilling and Wireline diamond core drilling are the main types of diamond core drilling techniques. Rotary diamond core drilling is utilized for borehole drilling and coring in rocks. Wireline core drilling is the type of core drilling used for mineral exploration and it aims at not making a hole but to retrieve a core sample. The different methods of diamond core drilling are Electric, Hydraulic and Pneumatic Diamond Core Drilling available for wet or dry drilling applications. The Electric diamond core drilling is used to drill perfect holes in tile, natural stones like granite, and gravestones, concrete, countertops, plumbing and other masonry applications. This type of diamond core drilling is also suitable for drilling holes in walls, floors, ceilings and all concrete anchoring systems. It can be used to perform drilling operation quickly and efficiently. The Hydraulic diamond Core Drilling implements both mechanical and electronic protection means, and is the easy to move, economical, durable, safe and reliable diamond core drilling method. The Hydraulic diamond core drilling is excellent option for making large diameter holes. Pneumatic diamond core drilling is suitable for drilling holes in walls, floors, ceilings, refractory brick and concrete anchoring systems. Diamond core drilling uses a diamond core drill bit fixed to the end of drill rod in the diamond core drilling machine or equipment. The diamond bit is rotated gently and at the same time it is lubricated with water to prevent overheating. With diamond core drilling which uses diamond core drill bits, the primary importance is given in providing enough water lubrication on the cutting edge of the diamond bit. Reduced drill speeds, low drill pressure and copious use of water lubrication increase the durability of the drill bit. Diamond core drilling is categorized based on the different lubrication techniques used. The various methods of diamond core drilling are Hose or Water Drip, Clay Dam, Pan Drilling and Spray Bottle diamond core drilling. Hose or Water Drip Diamond core drilling method: This method of diamond core drilling uses a small hose to run water into the bore hole and onto the hole surface. Clay Dam Diamond core drilling method: This method of diamond core drilling involves building a dam around the drill hole with the help of modeling clay. This method allows water to flow into the diamond bit and provides good interior lubrication. Pan Drilling diamond drilling method: This method involves using pan or plastic tub fille with water such that it covers the surface of the material being drilled. Spray Bottle diamond drilling method: This method of diamond drilling method involves constantly spraying water into the bore hole using a spray bottle. In all the above methods, it is very important to use the pumping technique in order to allow lubrication to reach the tip of the drill bit. A periodic pumping action is essential to extensively improve the lubrication at the drill tip. The pumping technique ensures that water reaches the drill tip area and completely lubricates the drill tip. |
