Cutting Structure
• Self-sharpening effect
maintains the life of the
cutting structure.
• Improved Diamond Tech2000
hardfacing
is applied internally
into the tooth profile.
• Utilization of the “Claw”
profile increases the
aggressiveness of the bit.

Bit IADC Codes

• Method to concisely describe a bit


• 3 numbers plus one letter (e. g., 114C)
• First number relates to rock hardness
• Second number refines hardness scale
• Third number defines bearings & gage
• Letter describes a special feature
• Refer to attached Bit Comparison Chart

Class Exercise

• What special feature does a 437T roller cone bit


have?
• Would you use a 117 bit to drill a hard limestone?
• What feature specifies a bit designed for use on a
downhole motor?
• What Hughes Christensen bit would be the
approximate equivalent of a Security DBS bit model
S82F? What are their IADC codes?
