NQ Non-Diamond Blank Reaming Shell for Core Drilling

NQ non-diamond blank reaming shell designed to support drill-string alignment and maintain borehole clearance behind the core bit. Confirm exact core-system dimensions before ordering.
Size: BQ / 2 3/8"

NQ Blank Reaming Shell for Borehole Gauge and Drill-String Stability

This non-diamond NQ reaming shell is a steel blank / support component intended to follow the core bit, help maintain borehole gauge and stabilize the core-drilling assembly. It is not a cutting bit and does not replace a diamond or PCD reaming shell where active reaming is required.

Maintains Assembly Alignment

The cylindrical shell supports drill-string guidance behind the core bit.

Protects Borehole Gauge

Correct matching helps maintain clearance for core-barrel movement and retrieval.

Non-Diamond Blank Design

Suitable when a steel blank/support shell is specified; active abrasive reaming requires a diamond/PCD version.

Selection and Operating Guidance

Recommended when

  • A steel blank/support shell is specified for the drilling assembly.
  • Borehole clearance and drill-string stability need to be maintained.
  • The exact NQ/core-barrel dimensions can be confirmed.

Confirm before ordering

  • Core system standard and mating thread
  • Required outside diameter, length and gauge tolerance
  • Whether active diamond/PCD reaming is required for the formation

Performance depends on formation, rig parameters, flushing and operating practice. Final configuration should be confirmed by the technical team.
