Analytical research of the relation between hydraulic mechanism of the axial pressure of the drilling rig and technological parameters of the drilling regimes of the geological exp... by V. V. Kulikov, S. . Zavacky

“…Because of this, we can not exactly evaluate variations of the axial load on the cutting tools when changing hydraulic parameters of the thrust mechanism. The flow pattern of the hydraulic fluid through the throttling valve and through the pressure shift is defined by the mechanical speed rate of the bore drilling. …”
