Soil Testing Drilling Rig Frequently Asked Questions
BQ, NQ, HQ, and PQ are standard wireline core drilling tool sizes defined by international standards:
BQ: Drill rod 55.6mm (outer) / 46.1mm (inner), drill bit 60mm, core 36.5mm. Best for shallow drilling in soft rock and soil.
NQ: Drill rod 69.9mm / 60.3mm, drill bit 75.7mm, core 47.6mm. Suitable for deeper drilling with high core recovery.
HQ: Drill rod 88.9mm / 77.8mm, drill bit 96mm, core 63.5mm. Ideal for deep drilling in harder rock and soil, offering efficient core recovery.
PQ: Drill rod 114.3mm / 101.6mm, drill bit 122.6mm, core 85mm. Large wireline core bit for specialized deep drilling applications.
These specifications help geologists and engineers select the right drill size based on depth, rock hardness, and required core diameter.
Wireline coring is a highly efficient geological exploration technique used to recover rock core samples without pulling the entire drill string out of the borehole.
With a wireline coring system, the inner tube containing the core sample is retrieved from the bottom of the hole using a wireline cable, while the drill rods and drill bit remain in place. This method significantly reduces drilling downtime, improves core recovery rates, and increases overall drilling efficiency.
Wireline coring is widely used in mineral exploration, geotechnical investigations, and geological surveying, especially for deep drilling projects where frequent core retrieval is required. It helps operators obtain high-quality core samples while reducing labor and operational costs.
Ranges from 180 m to 1,100 m depending on the model.
Consider depth, soil type, site conditions, and budget.
