The Hot-Pressed Double Tube Core Bit is engineered for high-precision core drilling in complex and abrasive formations. By combining hot-press diamond technology with a double tube structure, this bit ensures excellent core recovery, reduced disturbance, and stable drilling performance. It is widely used in mineral exploration, geotechnical investigation, and deep-hole drilling where core quality is critical.
Overview
By utilizing a double tube system, the inner tube remains isolated from flushing fluids while the outer tube performs cutting and rotation. Combined with a hot-pressed diamond matrix, this design significantly improves core recovery, reduces sample disturbance, and enhances bit lifespan in difficult formations.
This type of core bit is especially suitable for:
Broken or fractured rock
Abrasive formations
Unstable strata
Deep exploration drilling

FAQ
Q1: What formations is this bit best suited for?
A: Fractured, abrasive, and mixed formations where core quality is critical.
Q2: Can matrix hardness be customized?
A: Yes. Soft, medium, and hard matrices are available based on formation conditions.
Q3: Is this compatible with wireline systems?
A: Yes, compatible with BQ, NQ, HQ, PQ and extended wireline systems.
Q4: How does it compare with impregnated core bits?
A: It offers better core protection and stability in broken ground, while impregnated bits perform better in extremely hard rock.
