HDD Drill Pipe - Horizontal Directional Drilling Pipe for Trenchless Applications
The trenchless drilling pipe serves as the core component in horizontal directional drilling operations. Designed for underground pipeline installation in urban areas, oil/gas pipeline crossings, and other trenchless projects, these pipes offer exceptional strength and fatigue resistance.
Technical Specifications
Dimensions and Specifications
Available in metric outer diameters from 50mm to 168.28mm (including the commonly used 89mm municipal model), with wall thickness ranging from 6.0mm to 12.7mm. Single rod lengths extend up to 12 meters.
Mechanical Properties
Standard steel grades include G105 (yield strength 724 MPa) and S135 (931 MPa), with S135 grade achieving maximum tensile strength of 1138 MPa.
Torque Capacity
The 89mm drill rod delivers maximum torque of 24 kN·m, with typical municipal project requirements ranging between 6-24 kN·m.
Construction Guidelines
- Use thickened drill pipes for depths exceeding 756 meters
- Immediate replacement required for surface scratches deeper than 1mm
- Construction hole curvature radius must be smaller than the drill pipe's minimum curvature radius
