Bend Radius
JT100 Power Pipe
®
drill pipes have a tested minimum
bend radius of 205’ (62.5 m). This means that a 90°
bend in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 205’ (62.5 m)
• requires approximately 325’ (99 m) of drill pipe
(B).
JT100 Power Pipe Forged drill pipes have a tested
minimum bend radius of 197’ (60 m). This means that
a 90° bend in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 197’ (60 m)
• requires approximately 310’ (94.5 m) of drill
pipe (B).
JT100 All Terrain drill pipes have a tested minimum bend radius of 205’ (62.5). This means that a 90° bend
in the bore path:
• has a radius (A) of 205’ (62.5 m)
• requires approximately 325’ (99 m) of drill pipe (B).
NOTICE: Bending drill pipe more sharply than recommended will damage the pipe and cause failure
over time.
• If bend radius is reduced, drill pipe life is reduced.
• If bend radius is increased, drill pipe life is increased.
IMPORTANT: Use the charts on the next page to keep bends within safe limits.
