Core Tube

Core Tube

The core tube used in drilling is a component located inside the core barrel or drilling pipe. This tube facilitates the collection of soil or rock samples during the drilling process. The core tube generally serves the following functions:

1. Sampling: The core tube captures and preserves the soil or rock samples cut during drilling, ensuring that samples are retrieved without distortion or contamination.

2. Protection: It prevents the collected samples from being affected by external elements (e.g., outside water, air, or dirt) during the drilling process. This ensures that the samples remain in conditions suitable for laboratory analysis.

3. Ease of Transport: The core tube allows for the easy removal and transportation of samples after drilling, simplifying the processing of samples for analysis and evaluation.

In summary, the core tube ensures the proper collection and preservation of samples during the drilling process, facilitating the acquisition of accurate data for soil and rock analysis.
