United States13.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 bentonitethe common name for drilling fluid addi-tives and well-co

16、nstruction products consisting mostly ofnaturally occurring montmorillonite. Some bentonite productshave chemical additives which may affect water-quality analy-ses.3.2.2 bentonite granules and chipsirregularly shaped par-ticles of bentonite (free from additives) that have been driedand separated in

17、to a specific size range.3.2.3 bentonite pelletsroughly spherical- or disk-shapedunits of compressed bentonite powder (some pellet manufac-turers coat the bentonite with chemicals that may affect thewater-quality analysis).3.2.4 cleanout depththe depth to which the end of the drillstring (bit or cor

18、e barrel cutting end) has reached after aninterval of cutting. The cleanout depth (or drilled depth as it isreferred to after cleaning out of any sloughed material in thebottom of the borehole) is usually recorded to the nearest 0.1 ft(0.03 m).3.2.5 coeffcient of uniformityCu(D), the ratio D60/D10,w

The total length of this assemblyis used to determine drilling depth by referencing the positionof the top of the string to a datum near the ground surface.3.2.9 drill stringthe complete direct air-rotary drillingassembly under rotation including bit, sampler/

22、core barrel, drillrods, and connector assemblies (subs). The total length of thisassembly is used to determine drilling depth by referencing theposition of the top of the string to a datum near the groundsurface.3.2.10 filter packalso known as a gravel pack or a primaryfilter pack in the practice of

23、 monitoring-well installations. Thegravel pack is usually granular material, having specified grainsize characteristics, that is placed between a monitoring deviceand the borehole wall. The basic purpose of the filter pack orgravel envelope is to act as: (1) a nonclogging filter when theaquifer is n

24、ot suited to natural development or, (2) act as aformation stabilizer when the aquifer is suitable for naturaldevelopment.3.2.10.1 DiscussionUnder most circumstances a clean,quartz sand or gravel should be used. In some cases apre-packed screen may be used.3.2.11 grout packeran inflatable or expanda

27、nical or chemical test data, that are typicallypushed, rotated, or driven below the bottom of a boreholefollowing completion of an increment of drilling. However,some in situ testing devices (such as electronic pressuretransducers, gas-lift samplers, tensiometers, and so forth) mayrequire lowering a

28、nd setting of the device(s) in a preexistingborehole by means of a suspension line or a string of loweringrods or pipe. Centralizers may be required to correctly positionthe device(s) in the borehole.3.2.15 intermittent-sampling devicesusually barrel-typesamplers that are driven or pushed below the

29、bottom of aborehole following completion of an increment of drilling. Theuser is referred to the following ASTM standards relating tosuggested sampling methods and procedures: Practice D1452,Test Method D1586, Practice D3550, and Practice D1587.3.2.16 mastor derrick, on a drilling rig is used for su

It must be constructed to safely carry theexpected loads encountered in drilling and completion of wellsof the diameter and depth for which the rig manufacturerspecifies the equipment.3.2.16.1 DiscussionTo allow for

31、contingencies, it is rec-ommended that the rated capacity of the mast should be at leasttwice the anticipated weight load or normal pulling load.3.2.17 piezometeran instrument for measuring pressurehead.3.2.18 subsurface water-quality monitoring devicean in-strument placed below ground surface to ob

32、tain a sample foranalysis of the chemical, biological, or radiological character-istics of subsurface pore water or to make in situ measure-ments.4. Significance and Use4.1 The application of direct air-rotary drilling to geoenvi-ronmental exploration may involve sampling, coring, in situ orpore-flu

33、id testing, installation of casing for subsequent drillingactivities in unconsolidated or consolidated materials, and forinstallation of subsurface water-quality monitoring devices inunconsolidated and consolidated materials. Several advantagesof using the direct air-rotary drilling method over othe

34、rmethods may include the ability to drill rather rapidly throughconsolidated materials and, in many instances, not require theintroduction of drilling fluids to the borehole. Air-rotarydrilling techniques are usually employed to advance drill holewhen water-sensitive materials (that is, friable sand

35、stones orcollapsible soils) may preclude use of water-based rotary-drilling methods. Some disadvantages to air-rotary drillingD5782 95 (2012)2may include poor borehole integrity in unconsolidated materi-als without using casing, and the possible volitization ofcontaminants and air-borne dust.NOTE 3D

36、irect-air rotary drilling uses pressured air for circulation ofdrill cuttings. In some instances, water or foam additives, or both, may beinjected into the air stream to improve cuttings-lifting capacity andcuttings return. The use of air under high pressures may cause fracturingof the formation mat

37、erials or extreme erosion of the borehole if drillingpressures and techniques are not carefully maintained and monitored. Ifborehole damage becomes apparent, consideration to other drilling meth-od(s) should be given.NOTE 4The user may install a monitoring device within the sameborehole in which sam

38、pling, in situ or pore-fluid testing, or coring wasperformed.4.2 The subsurface water-quality monitoring devices thatare addressed in this guide consist generally of a screened orporous intake and riser pipe(s) that are usually installed with afilter pack to enhance the longevity of the intake unit,

39、 and withisolation seals and a low-permeability backfill to deter themovement of fluids or infiltration of surface water betweenhydrologic units penetrated by the borehole (see PracticeD5092). Inasmuch as a piezometer is primarily a device usedfor measuring subsurface hydraulic heads, the conversion

40、 of apiezometer to a water-quality monitoring device should bemade only after consideration of the overall quality of theinstallation to include the quality of materials that will contactsampled water or gas.NOTE 5Both water-quality monitoring devices and piezometersshould have adequate casing seals

41、, annular isolation seals, and backfills todeter movement of contaminants between hydrologic units.5. Apparatus5.1 Direct air-rotary drilling systems consist of mechanicalcomponents and the drilling fluid.5.1.1 The basic mechanical components of a direct air-rotary drilling system include the drill

42、rig with rotary table andkelly or top-head drive unit, drawworks drill rods, bit or corebarrel, casing (when required to support the hole and preventwall collapse when drilling unconsolidated deposits), air com-pressor and filter(s), discharge hose, swivel, dust collector, andair-cleaning device (cy

43、clone separator).NOTE 6In general, in North America, the sizes of casings, casing bits,drill rods, and core barrels are usually standardized by manufacturersaccording to size designations set forth by the American PetroleumInstitute (API) and the Diamond Drill Core Manufacturers Association(DCDMA).

44、Refer to the DCDMA technical manual and to publishedmaterials of API for available sizes and capacities of drilling toolsequipment.5.1.1.1 Drill Rig, with rotary table and kelly or top-headdrive unit should have the capability to rotate a drill-rodcolumn and apply a controllable axial force on the d

45、rill bitappropriate to the drilling and sampling requirements and thegeologic conditions.5.1.1.2 Kelly, a formed or machined section of hollow drillsteel that is joined to the swivel at the top and the drill rodsbelow. Flat surfaces or splines of the kelly engage the rotarytable so that its rotation

46、 is transmitted to the drill rods.5.1.1.3 Drill Rods, (that is, drill stems, drill string, drillpipe) transfer force and rotation from the drill rig to the bit orcore barrel. Drill rods conduct drilling fluid to the bit or corebarrel. Individual drill rods should be straight so they do notcontribute

47、 to excessive vibrations or “whipping” of the drill-rod column. All threaded connections should be in good repairand not leak significantly at the internal air pressure requiredfor drilling. Drill rods should be made up securely by wrenchtightening at the threaded joint(s) at all times to prevent ro

48、ddamage.NOTE 7Drill rods used for air drilling jointed to ensure that thecuttings-laden return air will not be deflected to the borehole wall as itpasses the return air were deflected against the borehole blasting anderosion of the borehole wall would occur.NOTE 8Drill rods usually require lubricant

49、s on the thread to alloweasy unthreading (breaking) of the drill-rod tool joints. Some lubricantshave organic or metallic constituents, or both, that could be interpreted ascontaminants if detected in a sample. Various lubricants are available thathave components of known chemistry. The effect of drill-rod lubricants onchemical analyses of samples should be considered and documented whenusing direct air-rotary drilling. The same consideration and documentationshould be given to lubricants used with water swivels, hoisting swivels, orother devices us
