Air Pressure for Stratex Drill Systems
The maximum recommended
air pressure for Stratex drilling with down-hole hammers is 12 bar,
which equals 210 psi.
Rotation
speed depends on the size of the Stratex bit and also on the formation
being drilled. The rotation speed may have to be varied as the formation
changes. The table shows recommended rotation speeds for the various
Stratex sizes.
