PN (Plugged Nozzle) - (Fig A4-20)
Figure A4-20 Plugged Nozzle, PN
This dulling characteristic does not describe the cutting structure but can be useful in providing information about abit run
A plugged nozzle can lead to reduced hydraulics or force a trip out of the hole due to excessive pump pressure.Plugged nozzles can be caused by:
Jamming the bit into fill with the pump off
Solid material going up the drill string through the bit on a connection and becoming lodged in a nozzle whencirculation is resumed
Solid material pumped down the drill string and becoming lodged in a nozzle

RG (Rounded Gage) - (Fig A4-21)
Figure A4-21 Rounded Gauge, RG
This dulling characteristic describes a bit that has experienced gauge wear in a rounded manner, but will still drill afull size hole
The gauge inserts may be less than nominal bit diameter but the cone backfaces are still at nominal diameter.Rounded Gage can be caused by:
Drilling an abrasive formation with excessive RPM
Reaming an under gauge hole

SD (Shirttail Damage) - (Fig A4-22)
Figure A4-22 Shirttail Damage, SD
Shirttail damage may be different than junk damage and is not a cutting structure dulling characteristic.Shirttail wear can lead to seal failures
Some causes of shirttail damage are:
Junk in the hole
Reaming under gauge hole in faulted or broken formations
A pinched bit causing the shirttails to be the outer most part of the bit
Poor hydraulics
High angle well bore

This is a dulling characteristic which occurs when cutters wear in a manner such that they retain a sharp crestshape
TR (Tracking) - (Fig A4-24)
Figure A4-24 Tracking Wear, TR
This dulling characteristic occurs when the teeth mesh like a gear into the bottomhole pattern
The cutter wear on a bit that has been tracking will be on the leading and trailing flanks
The cone shell wear will be between the cutters in a row

Tracking can sometimes be alleviated by using a softer bit to drill the formation and/or by reducing the hydrostaticpressure if possible
Tracking can be caused by:
Formation changes from brittle to plastic
Hydrostatic pressure that significantly exceeds the formation pressure
WO (Washed Out Bit) - (Fig A4-25)
Figure A4-25 Bit Washout, WO
Bit washouts are not cutting structure dulling characteristics but can provide important information when used as
an "Other" dulling characteristic This can occur at anytime during the bit run
If the bit weld is porous or not closed, then the bit will start to washout as soon as circulation starts
Often the welds are closed but crack during the bit run due to impact with bottom or ledges on connections.When a crack occurs and circulation starts through the crack, the washout is established very quickly

WT (Worn Teeth) (Fig A4-26)
Figure A4-26 Worn Teeth, WT
This is a normal dulling characteristic of the tungsten carbide insert bits as well as for the stoft tooth bits
When WT is noted for steel tooth bits, it is also often appropriate to note self sharpening (SS) or flat crested (FC)wear
NO (No Dull Characteristics)
This code is used to indicate that the dull shows no sign of the other dulling characteristics described
This is often used when a bit is pulled after a short run for a reason not related to the bit, such as a drill stringwashout

Both inertia and continuous drive friction welders utilize frictional heat for achieving welding temperatures, ever, the inertia welder uses a flywheel and momentum principle whereas the continuous drive friction weldermaintains a constant rpm motor and brake system
how-A Tool Joint Selection
Tool joint selection for all weights and grades of drill pipe should be discussed with the manufacturer if unusualoperating conditions are anticipated Tool joints for standard weights and grades have been established by API.However, many other tool joints are being manufactured and are in use and most are included in API RP7G Thesetables were utilized in the preparation of Tables B1-1 through B1-4, titled Selection Chart

Figure B1-2 Tool Joint Interchangeability Chart <From API RP 7G, 14th ed Table 2.14>
Notes on Table B1-7
1) The use of outside diameters (OD) smaller than those listed in the table may be acceptable on slim hole (SH) tooljoints due to special service requirements
2) Tool joint with dimensions shown has a lower torsional yield ratio than the 0.80 which is generally used
3) Recommended make-up torque is based on 72,000 psi stress
4) In calculation of torsional strengths of tool joints, both new and worn, the bevels of the tool joint shoulders aredisregarded This thickness measurement should be made in the plane of the face from the I.D of the counter bore
to outside diameter of the box, disregarding the bevels
* Tool joint diameters specified are required to retain torsional strength in the tool joint comparable to the torsionalstrength of the attached drill pipe These should be adequate for all service Tool joints with torsional strengthsconsiderably below that of the drill pipe may be adequate for much drilling service

The NC connection is designated by a two-digit number indicating the pitch diameter of the pin member at the gagepoint The NC connections employ a "V" thread form having a 065 inch flat crest and 038 inch rounded root This
is designated as the V-0.038R form and mates with the V-0.065 thread form
B Torsional Strength of Tool Joints
The torsional strength of a tool joint is a function of several variables These include the strength of the steel,connection size, thread form, lead, taper, and coefficient of friction on the mating surfaces of threads and shoulders.The torque required to yield a rotary shouldered connection may be obtained from the equation in Appendix A, APIRP7G
The pin or box area, whichever controls, is the largest factor and is subject to the widest variation The tool jointoutside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID) largely determine the strength of the joint in torsion The ODaffects the box area and the ID affects the pin area Choice of OD and ID determines the areas of the pin and boxand establishes the theoretical torsional strength, assuming all other factors are constant
The greatest reduction in theoretical torsional strength of a tool joint during its service life occurs with OD wear Atwhatever point the tool joint box area becomes the smaller or controlling area, any further reduction in OD causes adirect reduction in torsional strength If the box area controls when the tool joint is new, initial OD wear reducestorsional strength If the pin controls when new, some OD wear may occur before the torsional strength is affected.Conversely, it is possible to increase torsional strength by making joint with oversize OD and reduced ID
The curves in Figures B1-6 through B1-30 depict the theoretical torsional yield strength of a number of commonlyused tool joint connections over a wide range of inside and outside tool joint diameters

The theoretical torsional yield strength for the purpose of these curves is the theoretical torque which will causeadditional make-up of a tool joint each time the torque is used to make up pin and box The coefficient of frictionbetween mating surfaces, threads, or shoulders, is assumed to be 0.08, and minimum tensile yield is 120,000 psi.The curves may be used by taking the following steps:
a Select the curve for the size and type tool joint connection being studied
b Extend a horizontal line from the OD under consideration to the curve and read the torsional strength ing the box
represent-c Extend a vertical line from the ID to the curve and read the torsional strength representing the pin
d The smaller of the two torsional strengths thus obtained, is the theoretical torsional strength of the tool joint
e It is emphasized that the values obtained from the curves are theoretical values of torsional strength Tool joints
in the field, subject to many factors not included in determination of points for the curves, may vary considerablyfrom these values
f The curves are most useful to show the relative torsional strengths of joints for variations in OD and ID, bothnew and after wear In each case, the smaller values should be used
The recommended make-up torque for a used tool joint is determined by taking the following steps:
a Select the appropriately titled curve for the size and type of tool joint connection being studied
b Extend a horizontal line from the OD under consideration to the curve and read the recommended make-uptorque representing the box
c Extend a vertical line from the ID under consideration to the curve and read the recommended make-up torquerepresenting the pin
d The smaller of the two recommended make-up torques thus obtained is the recommended make-up torque for thetool joint
e A make-up torque higher than recommended may be required under extreme conditions
