Significance and Use4.1 Cable-tool rigs (also referred to as churn rigs, water-welldrilling rigs, spudders, or percussion rigs) are used in the oilfields and in t

The Chinese developedthe percussion method some 4000 years ago.4.2 Cable-tool drilling and sampling methods may be usedin support of geoenvironmental exploration and for installationof subsurface water-quality monitoring devices in both uncon-solidated and consolidated materi

33、als. Cable-tool drilling andsampling may be selected over other methods based on itsadvantages, some of which are its high mobility, low water use,low operating cost, and low maintenance. Cable-tool drilling isthe most widely available casing-advancement method that isrestricted to the drilling of u

34、nconsolidated materials and softerrocks.4.2.1 The application of cable-tool drilling and sampling togeoenvironmental exploration may involve sampling uncon-solidated materials. Depth of drill holes may exceed 900 m3000 ft and may be limited by the length of cable attached to3The boldface numbers giv

Rates forcable-tool drilling and sampling can vary from a generalaverage of as much as 7.5 to 9 m/h 25 t

36、o 30 ft/h includingsetting 200 mm 8 in. diameter casing to considerably lessthan that depending on the type(s) of material drilled, and thetype and condition of the equipment and rig used.NOTE 2As a general rule, cable-tool rigs are used to sample thesurficial materials, and to set surface casing in

37、 order that rotary-core rigssubsequently may be set up on the drill hole to core drill hard rock ifcoring is required.NOTE 3The quality of the result produced by this standard isdependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and thesuitability of the equipment and facilities used. Agenc

38、ies that meet thecriteria of Practice D3740 are generally considered capable of competentand objective testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assurereliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; Practice

39、 D3740provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.4.2.2 The cable-tool rig may be used to facilitate theinstallation of a subsurface water-quality monitoring device(s)including in-situ testing devices. The monitoring device(s) maybe installed through the casing as the casing is removed from

40、the borehole. The sand line can be used to raise, lower, or setin-situ testing device(s), or all of these. If necessary, the casingmay also be left in the borehole as part of the device.NOTE 4The user may install a monitoring device within the sameborehole wherein sampling, in-situ, or pore-fluid te

Apparatus5.1 Cable-tool rigs (see Fig. 2) have a string of drill toolswith a drive clamp (see Fig. 1 and Ref (2) on the drill stringFIG. 1 Drilling ToolsD5875/D5875M 133connected by wire rope that periodically can be hoisted andallowed to “fall” for percussion drilli

42、ng in unconsolidated andconsolidated materials and for driving/retrieving casing. Thefull string of drilling equipment consists of drill bit (see Fig. 1and Ref (3)Regular bit used for all-around general drillingand, Ref (4)Star bit used for chopping and breaking hardmaterials and rock), drilling jar

43、s (optional), and a drill stem(see Fig. 1 and Ref (5), with a swivel socket (see Fig. 2)connected by a wire rope fastened to a drum called a bull reelthat raises and lowers the drilling tools and permits percussiondrilling either by crushing the material or by drive sampling.The spudding beam, commo

44、nly referred to as the walkingbeam, that is driven by the pitman and crank, imparts areciprocating motion to the drilling line.NOTE 5All cable-tool rigs have the capacity to lift and drop heavyFIG. 2 Diagram of a Cable Tool Drilling SystemD5875/D5875M 134drive clamps for installing large-diameter ca

45、sing in unconsolidated mate-rials.5.2 Drilling rigs for water wells have been converted (forthe purpose of geoenvironmental-engineering explorations) byreplacing the jars and stem, and replacing the chopping bit (seeFig. 1 and Ref (4) with a drive barrel that is used for samplingpurposes. If the bit

46、 becomes stuck in the borehole it cannormally be freed by upward blows of the drilling jars (jars canalso be used in the same mode to extract casing). The primaryfunction of the drilling jars is to transmit the energy from thebull wheel to the drill stem and the sample barrel. The strokeof the drill

47、ing jars is 230 mm to 460 mm 9 to 18 in. anddistinguishes them from fishing jars that have a stroke 460 to920 mm 18 to 36 in. Jars are often not used when hard-rockdrilling (2, 6).5.3 The swivel socket connects the drill string to the cableand, in addition, the weight of the socket supplies part of

48、theweight of the drill tools. The socket also imparts part of theupward energy to the jars when their use becomes necessary.The socket transmits the rotation of the cable to the tool stringand bit (drive barrel) so that the drive is completed on thedownstroke, thereby assuring that a round, straight

49、 hole willresult. The elements of the tool string are typically coupledtogether in the United States with right-hand threaded tooljoints of standard API (American Petroleum Institute) designand dimension (6).5.4 The wire rope cable that carries and rotates the drillingtool is called the drill line. It is typically a 16-mm 0.625-in.to 25-mm 1-in. left-hand lay cable that twists the tool joint oneach upward stroke to prevent it from unscrewing. The drillline is reeved over a crown sheave at the top of the mast, downto the spudd
