The ADIA App play online

The Australian Drilling Industry Association are excited to announce the release of our first-ever app. The app features useful information and tools for mineral exploration, waterwell, geotechnical and environmental sectors.

Calculators
There are 13 calculators which provide outputs for requirements like up-hole velocity (using air or mud), fluid pump outputs, cementing volumes and mud density adjustments.

Conversions
The ability to convert units from metric to imperial when measuring length, volume, pressure and weight, etc.

Reference Information
Easy-to-use scrolling tables that show dimensions and weights for drill bits and the different types of drill rods used across the range of drilling methods including RC, waterwell, exploration and HDD.

Fishing Flowchart
A useful step-by-step guide for planning a recovery operation of an object that has been left down the drill hole.

Geology Identification
This useful guide starts with the three main rock types and extends to the more specific grades, including their strength and rating on the Mohs scale, which will assist with correct drill bit selection.
