Water drill rods are typically made of high-quality steel or alloy materials to withstand the demanding drilling conditions. They are available in various lengths, diameters, and thread types to suit different drilling rigs and applications. The most common thread types for water drill rods are API regular threads or API IF (Internal Flush) threads.

The production of water drill rods typically involves the use of high-quality steel or alloy materials that can withstand the demanding drilling conditions. Here are some commonly used raw materials for the production of water drill rods:
Steel: Steel is a primary raw material for water drill rods. It provides strength, durability, and resistance to the stresses and forces encountered during drilling operations. High-grade steel alloys, such as carbon steel or alloy steel, are commonly used to ensure the necessary mechanical properties and toughness of the drill rods.
Alloying Elements: Various alloying elements may be added to the steel composition to enhance specific properties of the water drill rods. For example, chromium, nickel, or molybdenum can improve corrosion resistance and strength. Alloying elements are often added in precise proportions to achieve the desired material characteristics.
Heat Treatment Materials: Heat treatment is a crucial step in the production of water drill rods to optimize their mechanical properties. Heat treatment materials, such as quenching and tempering agents, are used to achieve the desired hardness, toughness, and tensile strength of the drill rods.
Thread Coatings: Thread coatings are sometimes applied to the drill rod threads to enhance their wear resistance and reduce friction during assembly and disassembly. Common thread coatings include zinc or copper-based coatings, which improve thread life and prevent galling or seizing.
The importance of raw materials in the production of water drill rods can be summarized as follows:
Strength and Durability: Water drill rods need to withstand high strength and heavy loads during drilling operations. Therefore, choosing high-quality raw materials is crucial. Suitable steel or alloy materials provide the necessary strength and durability to withstand vibrations, impacts, and continuous use.
Corrosion Resistance: Water drilling often takes place in wet, humid, or corrosive environments. The corrosion resistance of the raw materials is vital for the longevity and performance of the drill rods. Proper material selection and corrosion-resistant coatings can effectively prevent corrosion, rusting, and damage to the drill rods.
Machinability: The machinability of raw materials affects the efficiency and quality of the production process. Appropriate raw materials should have good machinability, allowing the drill rods to be easily cut, shaped, and processed.
Heat Treatment Characteristics: Heat treatment is an important step in the production of drill rods. By controlling the heating and cooling processes, the hardness, toughness, and strength of the drill rods can be improved. Choosing suitable raw materials for heat treatment ensures that the drill rods possess the desired physical properties and performance.

Water Drill Rods are commonly used in the mining, quarrying, and construction industries for percussive drilling operations. These drill rods are designed to deliver powerful blows to the drill bit, allowing for efficient penetration of hard rock formations. Here are some common sizes and thread types for DTH drill rods:
Sizes:
3.5 inches (89 mm): This is a standard size for smaller Water Drill Rods used in applications such as geotechnical drilling and smaller-scale mining operations.
4 inches (102 mm): This size is commonly used for medium-sized DTH drill rods in various drilling applications.
5 inches (127 mm): This larger diameter is typically used for heavy-duty Water Drill Rod for drilling in hard rock formations and larger-scale mining or construction projects.
Thread Types:
API REG: API (American Petroleum Institute) REG (Regular) thread is a widely used thread type for DTH drill rods. It features a tapered thread profile and is compatible with various DTH hammers and drill bits.
API IF (Internal Flush): API Internal Flush thread is another commonly used thread type for DTH drill rods. It allows for internal flushing of the drill string, facilitating efficient removal of drill cuttings during drilling operations.
BECO: BECO (Bit End Connection Only) is a specialized thread type used for Water Drill Rod. It features a simple pin-and-box connection at the bit end, providing quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the drill string.
Here is an overview of each thread type and its suitability for different working conditions:
API Regular: API Regular thread is a common thread type suitable for various working conditions. It features a tapered thread profile and is commonly used in general water well drilling, geothermal drilling, geological exploration, and small-scale mining applications.
API IF (Internal Flush): API Internal Flush thread is a thread type designed for internal flushing. It is suitable for applications that require internal flushing of the drill string. It helps to clear drill cuttings and mud from the borehole, improving drilling efficiency. API IF thread is commonly used in water well drilling, geothermal drilling, and geological exploration.
BECO: BECO thread is a specialized thread type used for DTH (Down-The-Hole) drill rods. It features a simple pin-and-box connection at the bit end, allowing for quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the drill string. BECO thread is commonly used in DTH drill rods for mining and construction applications.
