Significance and Use4.1 The application of direct air-rotary drilling to geoenvi-ronmental exploration may involve sampling, coring, in situ orpore-fluid testing, installation of casing for subsequent drillingactivities in unconsolidated or consolidated

33、materials, and forinstallation of subsurface water-quality monitoring devices inunconsolidated and consolidated materials. Several advantagesof using the direct air-rotary drilling method over othermethods may include the ability to drill rather rapidly throughconsolidated materials and, in many ins

34、tances, not require theintroduction of drilling fluids to the borehole. Air-rotarydrilling techniques are usually employed to advance drill holewhen water-sensitive materials (that is, friable sandstones orcollapsible soils) may preclude use of water-based rotary-drilling methods. Some disadvantages

35、 to air-rotary drillingmay include poor borehole integrity in unconsolidated materi-als without using casing, and the possible volitization ofcontaminants and air-borne dust.D 5782 95 (2006)2NOTE 3Direct-air rotary drilling uses pressured air for circulation ofdrill cuttings. In some instances, wate

36、r or foam additives, or both, may beinjected into the air stream to improve cuttings-lifting capacity andcuttings return. The use of air under high pressures may cause fracturingof the formation materials or extreme erosion of the borehole if drillingpressures and techniques are not carefully mainta

37、ined and monitored. Ifborehole damage becomes apparent, consideration to other drilling meth-od(s) should be given.NOTE 4The user may install a monitoring device within the sameborehole in which sampling, in situ or pore-fluid testing, or coring wasperformed.4.2 The subsurface water-quality monitori

38、ng devices thatare addressed in this guide consist generally of a screened orporous intake and riser pipe(s) that are usually installed with afilter pack to enhance the longevity of the intake unit, and withisolation seals and a low-permeability backfill to deter themovement of fluids or infiltratio

39、n of surface water betweenhydrologic units penetrated by the borehole (see PracticeD 5092). Inasmuch as a piezometer is primarily a device usedfor measuring subsurface hydraulic heads, the conversion of apiezometer to a water-quality monitoring device should bemade only after consideration of the ov

40、erall quality of theinstallation to include the quality of materials that will contactsampled water or gas.NOTE 5Both water-quality monitoring devices and piezometersshould have adequate casing seals, annular isolation seals, and backfills todeter movement of contaminants between hydrologic units.5.

41、 Apparatus5.1 Direct air-rotary drilling systems consist of mechanicalcomponents and the drilling fluid.5.1.1 The basic mechanical components of a direct air-rotary drilling system include the drill rig with rotary table andkelly or top-head drive unit, drawworks drill rods, bit or corebarrel, casin

42、g (when required to support the hole and preventwall collapse when drilling unconsolidated deposits), air com-pressor and filter(s), discharge hose, swivel, dust collector, andair-cleaning device (cyclone separator).NOTE 6In general, in NorthAmerica, the sizes of casings, casing bits,drill rods, and

43、 core barrels are usually standardized by manufacturersaccording to size designations set forth by the American PetroleumInstitute (API) and the Diamond Drill Core Manufacturers Association(DCDMA). Refer to the DCDMA technical manual and to publishedmaterials of API for available sizes and capacitie

44、s of drilling toolsequipment.5.1.1.1 Drill Rig, with rotary table and kelly or top-headdrive unit should have the capability to rotate a drill-rodcolumn and apply a controllable axial force on the drill bitappropriate to the drilling and sampling requirements and thegeologic conditions.5.1.1.2 Kelly

45、, a formed or machined section of hollow drillsteel that is joined to the swivel at the top and the drill rodsbelow. Flat surfaces or splines of the kelly engage the rotarytable so that its rotation is transmitted to the drill rods.5.1.1.3 Drill Rods, (that is, drill stems, drill string, drillpipe)

46、transfer force and rotation from the drill rig to the bit orcore barrel. Drill rods conduct drilling fluid to the bit or corebarrel. Individual drill rods should be straight so they do notcontribute to excessive vibrations or “whipping” of the drill-rod column. All threaded connections should be in

47、good repairand not leak significantly at the internal air pressure requiredfor drilling. Drill rods should be made up securely by wrenchtightening at the threaded joint(s) at all times to prevent roddamage.NOTE 7Drill rods used for air drilling jointed to ensure that thecuttings-laden return air wil

48、l not be deflected to the borehole wall as itpasses the return air were deflected against the borehole blasting anderosion of the borehole wall would occur.NOTE 8Drill rods usually require lubricants on the thread to alloweasy unthreading (breaking) of the drill-rod tool joints. Some lubricantshave

49、organic or metallic constituents, or both, that could be interpreted ascontaminants if detected in a sample. Various lubricants are available thathave components of known chemistry. The effect of drill-rod lubricants onchemical analyses of samples should be considered and documented whenusing direct air-rotary drilling. The same consideration and documentationshould be given to lubricants used with water swivels, hoisting swivels, orother devices used near the drilling axis.5.1.1.4 Rotary Bit or Core Bit, provides material cuttingcapability for advan
