Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
I just happened to come across an article like this (lol)
Ranking of Jobs You Don't Want to Be in
6th place?!...
It makes you think, "What the heck is that?!"—but what do you think?
If you look at this and try to find the opposite,
Ranking of Jobs People Want to Be Hugged By
Oh! 8th place! ……
It feels kind of weird, doesn't it...
I think people in blue-collar jobs are great because they're so physically fit (lol)
But that's beside the point.
Nominal Diameter
You often see hole diameters like 90, 115, or 135 listed in design specifications and drawings, don't you?
So, when I calculate the ingredients for the cement slurry, sometimes I end up short.
While the loss rate is certainly an issue, that’s actually not the only problem.
The design specifies a hole diameter of 90 mm, but it’s actually about 105 mm.
The outer casing is 96 mm, and the bit diameter is 105 mm.
The diameter varies by a few millimeters depending on the manufacturer.
For the 115mm size, the outer casing is 118mm and the bit diameter is 127mm.
The tip of the blade is sticking out.
This means that even if the bit isn't brand new, the drilling diameter is still guaranteed.
The design diameter is commonly referred to asNominal DiameterThat's what they call it, isn't it?
Use this number when calculating the cement content in cement slurry for the most accurate results.
There's one more thing you need to be careful about.
Although the drilling diameter for rock bolts is specified as 65 mm, this is not a problem under Site Condition 1.
The issue lies with single-hole drilling under Site Condition 2.
The tip of this one is sticking out as well.
This bit is the inner bit for a skid-type core drill.
The inner rod diameter is 57 mm.
The bit diameter is 64 mmWhat?!
We're interpreting that as 65 mm based on the design nominal diameter.
However, a brand-new bit is about 65 mm long.
However, if you use a bit that’s been used a little, the hole diameter gets really bad.
People ask, “So what am I supposed to do?!” but all I can say is, “Check that the bit is brand new and use it” (lol).
Alternatively, use a bit designed for the 73mm inner casing.
A bit for inner casings designed for use with outer casings 90 mm or larger,
The bit diameter for a 73mm inner rod is 80–83mm.
It ends up being about 25% larger than the design.
Naturally, when the diameter increases that much, the amount of cement also increases.
Since we're at it, let's get creative and...
Under the pretext of ensuring the quality of the drilled holes,
"Since there will be areas where the required drill hole diameter cannot be achieved if the drill bit becomes worn, drill a larger hole in advance."
I guess that's one way to look at it. The amount of cement will increase, but the cost is negligible.
It'll be a little bigger, but if you want to play it safe during installation...
You can perform grout calculations based on both nominal and actual diameters.
There's also a link in the bottom right corner of the blog, so feel free to click on it.
See you later.
