KUNXU Professional Testing Department

Drilling Tools departments are critical in industries such as oil and gas, mining, construction, and manufacturing, where drilling tools are essential for operations.

 

Quality Assurance and Control:

Testing drill tools to ensure they meet industry standards and specifications.

Verifying the materials, hardness, and structural integrity of drill bits, rods, and other components.

Performance Testing:

Evaluating the efficiency of drill tools under various conditions (e.g., different rock formations, temperatures, and pressures).

Measuring drilling speed, accuracy, and tool lifespan.

Durability and Wear Testing:

Simulating real-world conditions to assess how drill tools withstand wear and tear.

Testing resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and impact.

Safety Testing:

Ensuring tools meet safety standards to prevent accidents or failures during operation.

Testing for structural weaknesses or potential hazards.

Innovation and Development:

Collaborating with R&D teams to test new materials, designs, or technologies for drill tools.

Providing feedback to improve product performance and reliability.

Certification and Compliance:

Ensuring drill tools comply with international standards (e.g., ISO, API, ASTM) and regulatory requirements.

Issuing certifications for tools that pass rigorous testing.

Failure Analysis:

Investigating tool failures to identify root causes and recommend improvements.

Analyzing broken or worn-out tools to enhance future designs.

 

Testing Methods and Equipment

Hardness Testing: Using Rockwell or Vickers hardness testers to measure material strength.

Fatigue Testing: Simulating repeated stress to determine tool lifespan.

Torque and Load Testing: Evaluating how tools perform under high torque and load conditions.

Environmental Testing: Exposing tools to extreme temperatures, pressures, and corrosive environments.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Using techniques like ultrasonic testing, X-rays, or magnetic particle inspection to detect internal flaws.

Field Testing: Conducting real-world tests in drilling sites to validate lab results.

 

Industries Served

Oil and Gas: Testing drill bits, pipes, and downhole tools for exploration and extraction.

Mining: Evaluating tools for drilling in hard rock or mineral extraction.

Construction: Testing tools for foundation drilling, tunneling, and excavation.

Geotechnical Engineering: Assessing tools for soil sampling and geological surveys.

Manufacturing: Ensuring the quality of drill tools produced for various applications.
