Full title and description

ISO 10097-1:1999 — Wireline diamond core drilling equipment — System A — Part 1: Metric units. This international standard defines the nomenclature and the leading dimensions required to ensure interchangeability of wireline diamond core drilling components for System A (metric units), covering equipment used to drill holes 48 mm to 96 mm in diameter to recover cores 27 mm to 63 mm in diameter.

Abstract

This part of ISO 10097 specifies the nomenclature and the leading dimensions necessary for the interchangeability of the following wireline drilling equipment for drilling holes 48 mm to 96 mm in diameter, yielding cores of 27 mm to 63 mm in diameter. The equipment illustrated includes: core bit; reaming shell; core lifter; core lifter case; outer tube; inner tube; and drill rod (smooth pipe only).

Scope

Specifies nomenclature and leading dimensions necessary for interchangeability of System A wireline diamond core drilling equipment in metric units. Applies to components used to drill hole diameters from 48 mm up to 96 mm and to recover core diameters from 27 mm up to 63 mm. Components covered include core bits, reaming shells, core lifters and cases, outer and inner tubes, and smooth drill rods. The standard provides dimensional references and illustrations (Figure 1) to ensure parts from different manufacturers will mate and function together.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardized nomenclature and part names for System A wireline diamond core drilling equipment.
• Leading dimensional limits and tolerances for interchangeability (metric units).
• Component-level coverage: core bit, reaming shell, core lifter, core lifter case, outer tube, inner tube, drill rod (smooth pipe only).
• Designation of the applicable hole and core diameter ranges (48–96 mm holes; 27–63 mm cores).
• Illustrative figures to show part relationships and reference dimensions for manufacturing and inspection.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of diamond core drilling equipment, drill-rod and tube producers, mining and mineral exploration contractors, geotechnical and geological drilling services, testing laboratories, and procurement/specification engineers who require interoperable wireline core-drilling components in metric units.

Related standards

ISO 10097 is published in a two-part series: Part 1 covers metric units (this publication) and Part 2 covers inch units (ISO 10097-2:1999). National/adopted equivalents include BSI adoption BS 4019-5:1999 (identical to ISO 10097-1:1999) and various national adoptions (e.g., SS-ISO 10097-1). These related documents provide the same technical content in national publication formats.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10097-1:1999 is an international standard that specifies the nomenclature and leading dimensions for System A wireline diamond core drilling equipment in metric units to ensure interchangeability of components.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers component names, reference dimensions and dimensional limits for parts such as core bits, reaming shells, core lifters and cases, outer and inner tubes, and smooth drill rods used to drill holes 48–96 mm in diameter and recover cores 27–63 mm in diameter.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of drilling consumables and rods/tubes, mining and exploration contractors, geotechnical drilling teams, standardization bodies and procurement/specification engineers who need compatible wireline diamond core drilling parts.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As published in October 1999 (Edition 1), ISO 10097-1:1999 was reviewed and has been confirmed in ISO's periodic review process; the ISO bibliographic record shows it was confirmed in 2023 and therefore remains the current edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 (metric units) of ISO 10097. Part 2 (ISO 10097-2:1999) provides the same provisions in inch units. Many national bodies have adopted the ISO text as a national standard (for example BS 4019-5:1999).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: wireline, diamond core drilling, System A, metric units, interchangeability, core bit, reaming shell, core lifter, inner tube, outer tube, drill rod, ISO 10097-1.
