A TCI (Tungsten Carbide Insert) Tricone Roller Bit is a type of rotary drilling tool used in mining and well drilling, designed for durability and efficiency in various rock formations.
The diameter of the 6 1/2" TCI Tricone Roller Bit is 165 mm, which is equivalent to 6 1/2 inches.
This bit is suitable for very soft rock formations with low compressive strength and high drillability, such as shale, clay, sandstone, and conglomerate.
The rotary speed for this bit ranges from 60 to 140 RPM.
TCI bits are much more durable than Steel Tooth bits and provide better cutting ability, making them suitable for tougher drilling conditions.
This bit features rubber journal sealed bearings, which enhance load capacity and resistance to seizing.
The O-ring seal is made from wear-resistant material with an increased seal section, enhancing the reliability of the seal and preventing drilling fluid from entering the lubrication system.
Yes, ProDrill offers heavy-duty TCI roller bits that can be customized based on specific drilling needs, including diameter and IADC number classifications.
The working life of the tricone roller bit depends on the drilling formation and the rig used. Generally, it can last longer in softer formations.
TCI bits can come with open bearings, sealed bearings, roller bearings, or friction bearings (journal bearings).
Yes, this bit is widely used in various applications including mining, oil well drilling, water well drilling, and thermal drilling.
TCI bits are constructed using tungsten carbide inserts, which provide high wear resistance and excellent cutting ability.
The IADC number classifies tricone bits based on tooth material, suitability for different rock hardness, and bearing type, assisting users in selecting the right bit for their drilling needs.
The cutting structures of TCI bits are designed with optimized compact numbers and special shapes, which improve cutting efficiency and durability.
Yes, ProDrill offers a complete line of new and used (re-tip and re-run) TCI bits to meet various budgetary and operational needs.
