Maximum Weight of a Bit
Maximum weight of a Bit Formula |

\( WOB \;=\; \dfrac{ L_c \cdot W_c \cdot BF \cdot cos(\alpha) }{ SF }\) (Maximum Weight of a Bit) \( L_c \;=\; \dfrac{ WOB \cdot SF }{ W_c \cdot BF \cdot cos(\alpha) }\) \( W_c \;=\; \dfrac{ WOB \cdot SF }{ L_c \cdot BF \cdot cos(\alpha) }\) \( BF \;=\; \dfrac{ WOB \cdot SF }{ L_c \cdot W_c \cdot cos(\alpha) }\) \( cos(\alpha) \;=\; \dfrac{ WOB \cdot SF }{ L_c \cdot W_c \cdot BF }\) \( SF \;=\; \dfrac{ L_c \cdot W_c \cdot BF \cdot cos(\alpha) }{ WOB }\) |
