Standard Waterway Configurations

Standard waterways are recommended for most general purpose core jobs, and offer great fluid circulation in a variety of conditions.

Turbo waterways provide increased flushing ability and lessen the contact area of the bit to the rock, thus giving the bit more cutting ability with less pressure. Available in impregnated bits only.

Recommended for very soft and broken formations or when using triple-tube barrels. FD waterways increase flushing characteristics to prevent waterway blockage, by ejecting fluid through ports molded into the face of the bit.

Designed for loss of circulation applications. Fluid is ejected through ports molded into the face of the bit, resulting in minimum core wash and reducing the potential for subsequent core erosion.

Recommended for soft and broken formations when standard waterways may become blocked. The taper flushes cuttings to help keep the waterways clear.

Recommended for drilling in broken formations. Specifically angled waterways allow for greater fluid ejection. Available in surface set bits only.
