  • Patent number: 10370954
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for surveying drill holes with a drilling arrangement and borehole survey assembly. The method can include providing a drill tool having at least one drill rod and a drill bit assembly, and providing a borehole survey tool having a sensor) for measuring a borehole. In the method a drill tool having a central flushing channel for conducting flushing fluid to the drill bit assembly is used, and the borehole survey tool is arranged in the central flushing channel so that flushing fluid can flow in the central flushing channel past the borehole survey tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6880779
    Abstract: In the method for changing linear load on a reel-up which comprises an initial reeling device (9), a reeling shaft (1), a surface drive apparatus or the like, and a loading device (8) for the reeling process taking place after initial reeling, the reeling begins as a so-called initial reeling in the initial reeling device (9) from which the reeling shaft (1) and the initial portion of the reel formed thereon is transferred to the loading device by means of which the stages following the formation of the initial portion of the reel are conducted, in such a manner that the part (8) of the loading device which transmits load to the reeling shaft (1) is brought in contact with the reeling shaft (1).

  • Publication number: 20050023407
    Abstract: A reel-up having pivoting first members mounted on carriages where the first members engage the bearing housings of a reel spool. The first members are mounted between stops which limit their maximum deflection. A load cell is positioned on each carriage, the pivoting first members being between the load cell and the reel spool bearing housings. The load cells and the flexibility of the pivoting first members are selected so that each first member bottoms out on a stop before the load cell is subjected to more than its design load.
