DTH bit is the tool cutting rocks, and subject to severe stress from the striking piston as well as from the abrasive cuttings passing the bit at high velocity. When selecting the right bit for optimum performance you have to balance penetration against bit life. On occasion you can successfully sacrifice bit life for penetration, remember the rule of thumb that states that a 10% increase in penetration covers at least a 20% loss in bit life.

Specification of dth hammer button bits

DTH drill bits can be used in the following applications

* Mining- drill and blast holes in open pit mining, where the drill operator will drill several holes, then fill with explosives and detonate to lift rock allowing access to ore body
* RC- mineral exploration and pit grade control (needs specialized reversed circulation hammers)
* RAB - rotary air blast - mineral exploration using a conventional DTH hammer
* GW - geothermal bore holes and water wells
* Oil and Gas - Deep well bore holes: air hammers can be used as long as cutting uplift and borehole stability are ensured. For deeper wells, new DTH technologies including water hammer and mud hammer can be used to improve drilling rates in hard rocks.
* Construction industry - Piling, footings, soil nailing
