What this calculator does

Calculates Diamond Drill Rig Core Bit RPM & Penetration Rate Sizer using the formula verified against the cited source.

What your result means

An estimate from the inputs you enter, within the scope stated below — not advice.

Formula

Net penetration rate = hole advance ÷ net drilling time; core recovery % = 100 × core recovered ÷ advance

The step-by-step working for your own numbers appears with the result above and in the PDF report.

Inputs
The values entered in the fields above
  • • Net penetration rate=drilled advance/net drilling time. Express m/h or ft/h using matching units. This does not calculate drill rotational speed.

  • • Core recovered length can differ from drilled advance when recovery is below100%. Use actual hole advance and define net drilling time; report core recovery separately. RPM selection needs bit diameter/type, formation and manufacturer operating limits, absent here.

Important limitation

This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
