T2 Series Double Tube Core Barrels
Thin wall conventional core barrels designed for coring in medium hard to very hard homogenous and slightly broken formations with water flushing or polymer. They are designed as double tube core barrels but most can be converted to triple tube by incorporating PVC coreliners. Available in 6 different diameters for metric (millimetre) hole sizes between 46 -101 mm.
Advantages:
- Fast penetration
- Large core relative to hole size
- Good for coring in hard rock formations using impregnated bits
