Standard: Designed to handle a wide variety of formations. the ITHT Product Manual or the Diamond Products Field
Manual for additional operating information.
Abrasive: Recommended for broken "abrasive" drilling condtions. For
harder rock with broken conditions use a higher number bit to
maintain good drilling speeds.
Competent: Free cutting design for fast penetration in very hard
"competent" rock or for use on lower powered rigs and geotechnical
applications.
Express Geometry: Bits are supplied with additional intermediate
waterways which provide increased flushing. The reduced bit face
area allows for higher penetration rates with less bit weight required.
Recommended when polishing occurs with standard geometry.

NOTE: "Standard Gauge" bits are defined as having a set outside

diameter which is 0.25mm (0.010") smaller than "Reaming

Gauge vs Reaming Shell Gauge" impregnated bits, refer to
the ITHT Product Manual.

Reaming Shells
The recommended practice is to alternate two reaming shells in each Reaming Shells

shell should be checked for wear with the bit and shell wear gauge.

• Assists in seating the casing into the bedrock, providing a tight
seal for the drilling fluids to flow through to the surface.
• Used to ream the casing downward when advancing a casing

smaller than the casing shoe. It will not permit the passage of the

Field Manual for additional operating information.
Applications:
• Used when deep or difficult overburden is encountered.
• When reaming operations are completed, the casing string is
removed from the hole and a casing shoe is substituted for a
casing bit before normal drilling operations recommence.

Bit and Shell Gauge

Bit and Shell Wear Gauge Bit and Shell Gauge
As good practice, the diameter of impregnated bits and reaming

maintained. Impregnated bits typically maintain their gauge until NOTE: Refer to the ITHT Product Manual or the Diamond Products
totally consumed. Field Manual for additional operating information.
All holes should be collared with a full gauge reaming shell. On
deeper holes, two or more shells should be alternated in the hole to
maintain the hole size. Reaming shells should be gauged frequently
throughout drilling operations to avoid costly reaming of undersized
holes.

or under 7.5mm (0.30”). Contact your Boart Longyear representative for more information.
Non-Coring Bits
Their design provides reinforcement of the center of the bit to prevent
excessive wear of this critical area. Various center designs, including
pencil core and crowsfoot types, are available to suit your particular
needs. Water courses are carefully engineered to provide fast and
complete evacuation of the cuttings produced by this type of tool,
thereby increasing the penetration rates in all types of formations and
increasing bit life. Other non-coring bits are available for hydroelectric
grouting applications including non-coring TSD bits.

or 4.5 m (15 ft), or 3 m (10 ft) to 6 m (20 ft) lenghts in consolidated
ground conditions. LTK48 inner and outer tubes consist of box and
pin thread connections, which eliminates the need for inner tube
couplings.

Assembly Instructions
Follow these instructions carefully:
Inner Tube Components
1) Apply rod grease (p/n 62796) to the inside of the core lifter case
and to the outside of the core lifter.
2) Insert the core lifter into the core lifter case from the threaded end. Outer Inner Head
3) Apply Z-50 thread compound (p/n 306486) to the threaded ends of Tube Tube Assembly
the head assembly, core lifter case and inner tube.
4) Thread the head assembly to one end of the inner tube and the
core lifter case to the other. Use an inner tube wrench to ensure
the joints are snug.
Outer Tube Components
1) If the core barrel is intended for storage, thread the head
assembly, complete with the inner tube, to the outer tube and
attach the thread protector. If the core barrel is intended for
immediate use, install a reaming shell and bit instead of the thread
protector.
2) Tighten all joints with an outer tube wrench to ensure they are
snug.
NOTE: For complete operating instructions, refer to the ITHT Product
Manual that is shipped with every core barrel.

• Casing is coated with Krown KL73 rust inhibitor (p/n 3543544) to
reduce product oxidation during shipping. When storing casing for
long periods of time, it is recommended to reapply to the product
surface for maximum protection.
For “AW” casing, a “bundle” contains 19 pieces.
