DTH Drill Pipes

DTH Drill Pipes

MSD supplies DTH drill pipes from 76–178 mm OD with API REG and NC thread options, 6.5–10 mm wall thicknesses, and standard 3000 mm lengths.

Product Descriptions

MSD supplies DTH drill pipes in confirmed outside diameters from 76 to 178 mm (3 to 7 inch). The listed configurations include wall thicknesses from 6.5 to 10 mm, API REG and NC thread options, flushing-hole diameters from 32 to 60 mm, and a standard listed length of 3000 mm. Wrench, flats, and weight vary by diameter, wall thickness, and thread configuration, so the exact specification row should be confirmed before ordering.

DTH Drill Pipes in 76–178 mm Outside Diameters

MSD supplies DTH drill pipes in confirmed outside diameters of 76, 89, 102, 114, 127, 133, 140, 146, 152, 168, and 178 mm, covering an overall listed range of 76–178 mm (3–7 inch). Related market terminology may include DTH drill rods, DTH drilling pipes, and DTH drilling tubes.

The listed configurations include wall thicknesses from 6.5 to 10 mm, selected API REG and NC thread connections, flushing-hole diameters from 32 to 60 mm, and a listed length of 3000 mm.

The overall range does not mean that every intermediate outside diameter is available or that every wall thickness and thread combination is offered for every pipe size.

The complete specification should therefore be reviewed rather than selecting a DTH drill pipe by outside diameter alone.


Available Size, Wall Thickness, and Thread Groups

The current product table is organized into four size groups.

3–4 Inch DTH Drill Pipes — Listed in 76, 89, and 102 mm outside diameters.

4½–5 Inch DTH Drill Pipes — Listed in 114 and 127 mm outside diameters.

5¼–6 Inch DTH Drill Pipes — Listed in 133, 140, 146, and 152 mm outside diameters.

6⅝–7 Inch DTH Drill Pipes — Listed in 168 and 178 mm outside diameters.

These size groups organize the confirmed parameter rows. They do not mean that every pipe within a group uses the same wall thickness, thread connection, flushing-hole diameter, or weight.


3–4 Inch Configuration Differences

The 76, 89, and 102 mm DTH drill pipes are listed with 6.5 and 8.5 mm wall thicknesses. The confirmed rows include selected API REG and NC thread connections.

Flushing-hole diameters in this group range from 32 to 45 mm, while listed weights range from 40 to 67 kg. The exact thread, flushing-hole diameter, wrench dimension, flats dimension, and weight should be checked in the corresponding parameter row.


4½–5 Inch Configuration Differences

The 114 and 127 mm DTH drill pipes are listed with 6.5 and 8.5 mm wall thicknesses. The confirmed rows include selected API REG and NC thread connections.

Flushing-hole diameters are listed at 45 or 60 mm, and listed weights range from 63 to 86 kg. The available thread and wall-thickness combination varies by outside diameter.


5¼–6 Inch Configuration Differences

The 133, 140, 146, and 152 mm DTH drill pipes use different listed wall thicknesses of 8.5, 9.2, or 10 mm. The confirmed rows in this group use selected API REG thread configurations.

Flushing-hole diameters are listed at 45 or 60 mm, while listed weights range from 101 to 113 kg. Each outside diameter should be checked against its exact parameter row.


6⅝–7 Inch Configuration Differences

The 168 and 178 mm DTH drill pipes are both listed with a 10 mm wall thickness and a 60 mm flushing-hole diameter.

The 168 mm configuration is listed with an NC thread, while the 178 mm configuration is listed with an API REG thread. Their listed weights are 132 and 140 kg respectively.


Flushing Hole, Wrench, Flats, Length, and Weight

The confirmed flushing-hole diameters range from 32 to 60 mm. Listed wrench dimensions range from 57 to 159, and listed flats dimensions range from 45 to 55.

All confirmed rows show a listed pipe length of 3000 mm. The listed weights range from 40 to 140 kg and vary by outside diameter, wall thickness, and thread configuration.

These values should be checked as one complete specification. A similar outside diameter does not confirm the same connection, internal passage, handling dimension, or weight.


Matching the DTH Drill Pipe With the Drill String

Outside diameter alone does not confirm that a DTH drill pipe will match the existing drilling system.

The required thread must be checked against the rig, rotation head, adapter, hammer connection, or existing drill string. Wall thickness, flushing-hole diameter, and required length should also be reviewed together with the operating requirements.

For replacement orders, provide the current pipe specification, thread designation, drawing, dimensions, and clear photographs of both connection ends before the configuration is confirmed.


Typical Drilling Applications

These DTH drill pipe configurations may be reviewed for mining, quarrying, water-well drilling, construction, foundation, and infrastructure projects where the pipe specification and complete DTH drilling system are suitable.

Final selection should be based on the drill-rig and rotation-head arrangement, adapter or hammer connection, required outside diameter, thread type, wall thickness, flushing-hole diameter, hole depth, drill string, and operating conditions.

The current parameter table does not assign a particular pipe specification to a specific application or guarantee a particular drilling result.


Information to Confirm Before Ordering

To confirm a suitable DTH drill pipe, provide the following information:

Outside Diameter — Required pipe outside diameter in millimeters or inches.

Thread Type — Exact thread designation required at the connection.

Wall Thickness — Required wall thickness or the current pipe specification.

Flushing-Hole Diameter — Required internal flushing-hole diameter.

Required Length — Required pipe length and the current listed length when replacing an existing pipe.

Connection Information — Rig, rotation head, adapter, hammer connection, or complete drill-string information.

Working Conditions — Drilling application, hole depth, and operating conditions.

Current Product Information — Existing pipe model, specification, thread marking, drawing, dimensions, or clear photographs.

Order Requirement — Required quantity.

For replacement orders, the confirmed thread designation, connection dimensions, current pipe details, and mating equipment should take priority over the general pipe-size group.

Frequently Asked
Questions

The confirmed product table includes 76, 89, 102, 114, 127, 133, 140, 146, 152, 168, and 178 mm outside diameters, giving an overall listed range of 76–178 mm (3–7 inch). The range includes 6.5–10 mm wall thicknesses, selected API REG and NC threads, 32–60 mm flushing-hole diameters, and a listed length of 3000 mm. This does not mean that every intermediate outside diameter or every specification combination is available.
The confirmed product table includes selected API REG and NC thread connections. The available thread type varies by outside diameter and parameter row. The exact connection must be confirmed against the rig, rotation head, adapter, hammer connection, current pipe, drawing, or connection dimensions before ordering.
The current tables include Outside Diameter, Wall Thickness, Thread Type, Flushing-Hole Diameter, Wrench, Flats, Length, and Weight. All confirmed rows show a listed length of 3000 mm. The other fields vary by pipe diameter and configuration and should be checked in the corresponding parameter row.
No. Outside diameter does not confirm the thread connection or complete drill-string match. Thread type, wall thickness, flushing-hole diameter, required length, and the connection information of the rig, rotation head, adapter, hammer, or existing drill string should also be reviewed.
Provide the required outside diameter, thread type, wall thickness, flushing-hole diameter, required length, rig, rotation head, adapter, or hammer connection information, drilling application, hole depth, required quantity, and any available drawing or clear photographs of the current pipe and both connection ends.
