Inch of advance (RPI) or Rotation per centimeter (RPC). P 75-84 (20-22) 650
This parameter can be utilized as a guideline to increase
penetration rates while maintaining reasonable bit life. Water flow may vary depending on the specific application and
therefore this chart is only to be used as a guideline.
“Polished” bit
Often an indication that an impregnated bit has become
polished will be a reduction in torque and penetration rate,
with an increase in the weight on bit (WOB). Controlling the
flow of water can be used as a method to sharpen the bit. To
sharpen a bit in the hole, gradually reduce the flow of water
while increasing the weight on the bit to strip the bit and
expose fresh diamonds. Once the bit has been sharpened
increase the flow of water and reduce the WOB as required.
