Full title and description

ISO 10098:1992 — Wireline diamond core drilling equipment — System CSSK. International standard that specifies the materials and dimensional requirements for the CSSK system of wireline diamond core drilling equipment, intended for exploration and production drilling to depths typically in the 1 200 m to 1 500 m range. Available in PDF format from ISO and many national standards bodies and distributors.

Abstract

This standard specifies the materials for and the dimensions of equipment used in wireline diamond core drilling (system CSSK) for drilling in solid or weakly fissured medium-hard to hard formations to depths of about 1 200 m to 1 500 m. It applies to equipment with outer bit diameters of 46 mm, 59 mm, 76 mm and 93 mm and corresponding core diameters from 24 mm to 59 mm, and is intended to ensure interchangeability and safe, reliable performance of CSSK components.

Scope

ISO 10098:1992 covers the CSSK wireline diamond core drilling system used for obtaining core samples from medium-hard to hard rock. The scope includes specification of materials and dimensional requirements for the principal components of the CSSK system so that parts are interchangeable and suitable for use at the intended depths and bit/core diameters listed in the standard. The standard is aimed at manufacturers, users and procurers of CSSK-type wireline core drilling equipment.

Key topics and requirements

• Material specifications for CSSK system components to ensure durability and suitability for deep drilling conditions.
• Dimensional requirements and tolerances for outer bit diameters (46, 59, 76, 93 mm) and corresponding core diameters (≈24–59 mm).
• Compatibility and interchangeability rules for CSSK components to support multi-supplier use and maintenance.
• Application depth guidance (typical use to 1 200–1 500 m) and the related design considerations.
• Identification and marking recommendations to aid selection and traceability of parts.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of diamond core drilling rigs and components, exploration and mining drilling contractors, geological survey organisations, procurement and quality teams specifying equipment for core recovery, and standards bodies. Typical applications include mineral exploration, geotechnical investigations and other subsurface investigations that require diamond core samples obtained using a wireline CSSK system.

Related standards

ISO 10098:1992 is part of the broader set of ISO standards produced under ISO/TC 82 (Mining and minerals / rock drilling equipment). Related documents include other ISO standards that cover drill rods, drill bits, core barrels and general rock-drilling equipment and safety requirements; national adoptions or identical publications (for example some national bodies publish an identical national standard based on ISO 10098).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10098:1992 is an international standard that specifies material and dimensional requirements for wireline diamond core drilling equipment of the CSSK system.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers materials and dimensions for CSSK components used for drilling in medium-hard to hard formations to depths typically between 1 200 m and 1 500 m, and specifies sizes for a set of outer bit diameters and corresponding core diameters.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of core drilling equipment, exploration and mining drilling contractors, geological survey organisations, procurement and QA teams, and standards or regulatory bodies concerned with drilling equipment specification and interoperability.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was published on 8 October 1992 (Edition 1). It has been subject to periodic systematic review and was confirmed as the current edition following review in 2023, so it remains a valid international standard in its published form.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of ISO standards addressing drilling and mine excavation equipment developed by ISO/TC 82. While not a numbered multi-part series itself, it sits alongside other ISO standards that together cover drill rods, bits, core barrels and related rock-drilling equipment.
