HDD Drill Rods
HDD Drill Rods is a kind of steel pipe with thread, used to connect HDD Drilling Rig and drill bits. The purpose of the HDD Drill Rods is to transport drilling mud(Slurry, Drilling Mud) to the drill bit, rise, lower, or rotate the bottom hole device together with the Drill Bit. The HDD Drill Rods must be able to withstand significant internal and external working pressure, twisting, bending, and vibration. In the process of HDD Drilling work, HDD Drill Rods should be used multiple times.
Manufacture Process of HDD Drill Rods
Steel Pipe and Raw steel pipes are made into HDD Drill Rods after multiple processing steps. Firstly, through the steel pipe thickening process, the outer surface of the smooth pipe is bent inward, and the steel pipe wall is thickened. Secondly, perform thread machining and coat with copper that can increase strength. Then, non-destructive quality control inspection is carried out, followed by welding of steel pipe body joints. Afterwards, the pipe will undergo welding heat treatment and final welding treatment to eliminate residual welding stress. Before painting and packaging the finished drill pipe, other tests should be conducted on the steel pipe, including hardness testing, pressure testing, and non-destructive testing.
Structure Of HDD Drill Rods
The HDD Drill Rods is composed of upper and lower joints and pipe body parts. The pipe body is composed of two types of structures: square or hexagonal. The upper joint is a left-handed female thread (reverse buckle). During rotation, the left-handed female thread prevents reverse buckle; The lower joint is a right-handed male thread, connected to the drill pipe.

Application of HDD Drill Rods
- HDD Drill Rods used cooperatively with Drill Rig and Drill bits, transfer the ground rotation torque to the drill pipe to drive the drill string and drill bit to rotate;
- HDD Drill Rods helps transport the drilling mud, from Mud Pump to the drill bits, helps to make holes and protect boreholes.
Features & Benefits of ZH Tooling Drill Rods
- All ZH HDD Drill Rods made of high-strength steel S135, which can ensure the working performance and service life of HDD Drill Rods on HDD worksite.
- ZH HDD Drill Rods has accurate thread size ensure the connection of HDD Drill Rods and HDD Tooling(Reamers, Subs, Start Rod, Drill Bits and etc), so that transfer the ground rotation torque to the drill bits to the maximum extent.
- Precision thickening process of ZH HDD Drill Rods, the thickening process has undergone repeated drawing, software simulation, and experimentation. The heating temperature and thickening length are controlled by PLC programs, ensuring the stability of batch production of drill pipes. The length tolerance of the thickened drill pipe is less than 3mm.
- Each ZH HDD Drill Rods is treated by shot blasting and azotizing treatment, which will leave residual compressive stress on the surface of the drill pipe body and thread surface. This compressive stress will improve the fatigue strength and service life of the drill pipe. The shot blasting and sandblasted surface of the thread helps to adhere the thread grease and prolong the service life of the thread. Azotizing treatment can allow the nitride layer to penetrate below the metal surface, greatly improving the surface hardness of the thread and slowing down metal wear.
- Strict quality checks of ZH HDD Drill Rods, which makes ZH HDD Drill Rods can be able to withstand significant internal and external high working pressure, twisting, bending, and vibration.
