Hydraulic Core Drilling Rig Applications
YG full hydraulic core drilling rigs are widely used in multiple fields of geological exploration and engineering construction, with strong adaptability to complex working conditions and formation environments.
- Mineral Resource Exploration：Suitable for solid mineral exploration such as metal ore, non-metallic ore, coalfield geological exploration, to obtain complete rock core samples and realize accurate evaluation of ore bodies.
- Geological Survey & Engineering Investigation： Applied to regional geological mapping, hydrological geological survey, engineering geological exploration, and can carry out standard penetration test (SPT) to provide reliable data for civil engineering, bridge and tunnel construction.
- Deep-hole Exploration & Super-deep Drilling：Meet the needs of deep and super-deep hole drilling projects. The YG-1000 model can realize 1000m level deep drilling, which is suitable for large-scale deep resource exploration projects.
- Hydrological & Water-related Engineering：It can be used for hydrological monitoring, formation water pressure test and auxiliary water well construction. It is more professional for core sampling and formation analysis in water-related projects.
- Tunnel & Underground Engineering： Applied to advance geological prediction in tunnel construction, detection of surrounding rock properties, and provide basis for construction scheme design and risk control.
Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes， they can. They can technically drill water wells, but we don’t recommend it. These core rigs are optimized for exploration coring, not standard water well projects. For 10–120m water well drilling, we suggest YG small water well drilling rigs instead.
A: The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is a commonly used method for soil sampling and testing soil physical properties, primarily employed in engineering geology and civil engineering surveys.
A: BQ, NQ, HQ, and PQ are the standard specifications for wireline coring tools used in international standards:
BQ: Drill pipe 55.6 mm (OD) and 46.1 mm (ID), drill bit 60 mm, core 36.5 mm; suitable for shallow drilling, primarily used in soft rock and soil
NQ: Drill pipe 69.9 mm (OD) and 60.3 mm (ID), drill bit 75.7 mm, core diameter 47.6 mm; suitable for deep drilling with high core recovery efficiency
HQ: Drill pipe 88.9 mm (OD) and 77.8 mm (ID), drill bit 96 mm, core 63.5 mm; suitable for deep drilling; capable of drilling through harder rock and soil with high core recovery efficiency
PQ: Drill pipe 114.3 mm (OD) and 101.6 mm (ID), drill bit 122.6 mm, core diameter 85 mm; a large-diameter wireline core drill bit suitable for specific deep drilling requirements
