5. RPCF rotation pressure (pr)

Read the "free-spin" rotation pressure (pr,i)

pr = pr,i + pr,r
Example (see diagram):
pr,i = 25 bar
Button bit, D = 89 mm
n = 85 rpm
Drill rod = T45
pr = 25 + 23 = 48 bar

at normal operating temperature.

Determine the rod-dependent rotation
pressure increase (pr,r) by finding the
intersection point for bit-dependent rpm (n)
on the curve for the drill rod in use.
Correct RPCF pressure (pr) at the control
panel is obtained by adding the rod-dependent rotation pressure increase (pr,r) to the
"free-spin" rotation pressure (pr,i) :
