DRILL RODS & COUPLINGS

                                                               D.C.D.M.A

 

 Drill rods are manufactured from cold drawn steel tubing and have square threads. Each rod is furnished

with one flush coupling.  The "W" Design drill rod sizes and thread characteristics are standardized by the

Diamond Core Drill Manufacturers Association (DCDMA) to insure proper connection between rods and

couplings purchased anywhere in the world.  All Couplings are Heat Treated.

 

The old series drill rods and couplings known as E, A, B, and N are obsolete. However, they are still

available for use with older equipment.

"W" Design rods and couplings, compared to the old series, have a larger outside and inside diameter which allows more fluid inside the rods and produces increased velocity of fluid returning to the surface.
