WATER WELL & MINERAL EXPLORATION

Drilling accessories designed for use in Water Well and Mineral

Exploration are illustrated in this brochure and are manufactured
to the highest international standards. Vulcan Industrial
Engineering Co. Ltd. is an ISO 9001 company manufacturing
Drilling accessories for last three decades. Vulcan manufactures a
complete range of Drilling Accessories for Open Pit Mines such as
Drill Pipe, Drill Collars, Rotary Kellys, Stabilizers, Deck Bushings
and Rotary Subs. The concept of open pit rotary blast-hole drilling
has been adopted by numerous underground operations. Vulcan
offers specially designed drill pipes in shorter length. The design
takes into consideration important aspects such as torque
requirement and weight factor.

RAISE BORING

Rotary drilling method of boring ventilations shafts, manways and

other mine operations is an important development in the safety
and economy of underground operations. Vulcan is associated in
this critical operation by supplying a host of drilling accessories to
meet the requirement of the mine.

TOOL JOINTS
Tool joints are turned, bored prior to heat treatment by quench and
temper process to produce a uniform microstructure, high ductility
and other mechanical properties in accordance with API
specifications. Threads are precision machined on CNC lathes. All
threads are 100% inspected for all thread parameters. The threads
are phosphatized with zinc for antigalling treatment.
Against specific request threads can be carbo-nitrided to provide
exceptional surface hardness over entire tool joints for extended
life.

A complete set of Master and

Wo r k i n g G a g e s a r e
maintained and calibrated at
regular intervals. Vulcan
provides complete traceability
for every product.

TOOL JOINTS

Different Drill pipe requires special wrench slots to suit the

wrenching arrangement of the drill. Vulcan can provide any design
of wrench for the given drill pipe. Please specify the type of wrench
slots required.

THREAD PROTECTORS
Vulcan supplies Thread
Protectors made from Styrene
Butadiene Rubber to protect
threads during transit and
storage. On request Vulcan
can provide Thread Protectors
made from Cast Steel.

WRENCH SLOT ARRANGEMENT

Tungsten spray can be provided on the tool joint surface for

superior wear protection at an extra cost.

HARD FACING

DRILL PIPES
Vulcan manufactures Flush Jointed Drill Pipes made from ASTM-A
106 Gr.B Tubes. Vulcan takes care to ensure concentricity of the
Tool Joints and the Pipe are maintained to close tolerance to
ensure long life.
Vulcan offers a choice when it comes to improved properties for
tubes. Client may specify the Grade of tubes i.e. API Gr. D, E-75, X95, G-105 or S-135 Depending upon their need.

WT

Vulcan manufactures Integral drill pipes. In very abrasive strata,

the first rod used in the drilling gets worn out much more than the
second or third drill rod. To overcome the excessive wear on the
first rod we can offer integral drill pipe which is made from alloy
steel SAE-4145H and of a greater wall thickness. The integral drill
pipe is heat treated for improved wear properties.

EU/IU DRILL PIPES

The pipes of the drill tubes are upseted to provide for greater
strength, upset maybe external or internal in accordance to API
specification. The tool joints are welded to the pipe by fiction
welding to produce a high integrity solid state weld connection
between tool joint & upset end drill pipe. OD or ID weld rams are
removed and post weld heat treatment is done of the heat affected
zone.

the unit length and wrenching configuration. All raise bore Drill
Pipes are integral and optionally even Higher Strength Series
integral drill pipes can be supplied. All rotary thread connections
are machined on CNC Lathe.
Standard Strength Series of Raise Bore Drill Pipes are
manufactured from SAE-4145H grade steel. Higher Strength
Series of Raise Bore Drill Pipes are manufactured from SAE-4340

DRILL COLLARS

Drill Collars are heavy weight integral drill pipe which are used as
weight which forces the bit to penetrate the formation being drilled.
All drill collars are full length heat treated to obtain the best
physical properties. The drill collars are made from SAE 4145 H
Grade steel. Drill collars are bored in a way to ensure close
tolerance of bore alignment. Threads are cut on CNC Lathes to API
Specification.

ROTARY KELLYS

Kellys are made from SAE 4145H steel. The steel bar is heat
treated to obtain best physical properties. The solid heat treated
bars are bored to the required specifications. The ends of the Kelly
are upseted and the mid portion can be maintained to provide
square, fluted or hexagonal sections as shown in the figure below.
The threads are at on CNC lathes to the required API specification.
The kellys are provided with a hardness range of 285 to 341 BHN
and a minimum IZOD impact value of 40 ft/lb are guaranteed one
inch below the surface at room temperature.

STABILIZERS
The integral rib stabilizers straight or spiral designs assures the best
solutions for maximum stiffness. Stabilizers are machined from
special alloy steels, selected for balance in hardness, strength,
toughness and resistance to yield in bending. A choice of wear
resistant rib surfaces is available in tungsten carbide buttons or
crushed tungsten carbide overlay.

SPIRAL RIBBED

Vulcan's Roller Stabilizers are specially designed for blast hole

drilling, this provides an increased torsional strength and larger air
circulation area. Its pressed-in tungsten carbide compacts,
working against deeply carburized precision honed, air cooloed
bearings assure long life.

ROTARY DECK BUSHING

Rotary bushings assure you an enhanced drilling production and
low maintenance and operational costs on your blast hole drills.
Our specially designed two-piece bearing assembly replaces the
frictional non rotating bushings which sits in the deck of a blast
hole drill. This in turn gives drill operators extended drill steel life,
increased penetration rates and lower rig vibration levels resulting
in less downtime and overall reduction of drilling costs. Bushings
are available in hardened and extended configurations to suit
multilevel operations.

ROTARY SUBS
Vulcan Subs are made from SAE-4145H Grade steel, heat treated
to 285 to 320 BHN range to obtain the best physical properties.
Threads are cut on CNC lathe machine, and they are
phosphetised to prevent galling during initial make up.

When ordering or requesting

quotation, please furnish:
Reduced Section Subs:
1) Diameter of reduced
section
2) Length of reduced section
3) Overall length
4) Size and type of upper &
lower thread connection
indicating Pin or Box.
