    Critical RPM To Avoid Excessive Vibration 8

    This document discusses critical RPM needed to avoid excessive vibration when operating a top drive. It provides a formula to estimate critical RPM based on drill pipe dimensions and length. The formula is Critical RPM = 33,055 x (OD2 + ID2)1/2 ÷ (L)2, where OD is outside diameter, ID is inside diameter, and L is length. The document gives an example calculation for a drill pipe with 4-inch OD, 3.5-inch ID, and 32-foot length, determining the critical RPM is 172. The document notes this is only an estimate and to use program-specific values if available. It closes by stating to use the formula only if no other information is available to calculate

    Critical RPM to Avoid Excessive Vibration

    When you operate top drive, you may need to know critical RPM that you can go. If you rotate
    pipe more than the critical RPM, it will create a lot of vibration that can cause failure in your
    drilling equipment such as drill pipe, TDS, etc.

    In order to find out how much critical RPM, you may need high-tech simulation but sometimes
    you don’t really have that information supplied from town. So you really need to be able to
    roughly estimate how much critical RPM is ( at least you get a idea for this limitation). This
    formula below shows you how to estimate the critical RPM and it has accuracy of 15% roughly.

    Critical RPM = 33,055 x (OD2 + ID2) 1/2 ÷ (L)2

    Where;
    OD = drill pipe outside diameter in inch
    ID = drill pipe inside diameter in inch
    L = length of one joint of drill pipe in feet

    Example:

    Determine critical RPM from these following information

    L = length of one joint of drill pipe = 32 ft


    OD = drill pipe outside diameter = 4.0 in.
    ID = drill pipe inside diameter = 3.5 in.

    Critical RPM = 33,055 x (42+ 3.52)1/2 ÷ (32)2

    Critical RPM = 172 RPM

    Please remember this is ONLY estimation of the critical RPM. If you have your service
    companies or you have specific programs to determine it, please use the value from those
    programs because it should consider many parameters than this simple
    formula.
    USE IT IN CASE OF YOU HAVE NOTHING AVAILABLE TO CALCULATE THE

    CRITICAL RPM.
