Test Unit & Location
- Test Unit: [Certain] Iron Mine (Hebei).
Test Locations (Levels):
-540m Level (S4-JD-8)
-540m Level (S3-JD-10)
-540m Level (S6-JD-9)
Test Conditions
1. Rock Conditions
Protodyakonov Hardness Coefficient: f13 ~ f15
Corresponding Compressive Strength (UCS): 130 – 150 MPa
(Note: Based on the standard conversion $\sigma_c \approx 100 \times f \text{ kg/cm}^2 \approx 10 \times f \text{ MPa}$, rock with $f=13\text{-}15$ is classified as hard to very hard rock.)
2. Drilling Equipment & Parameters
Jumbo (Drilling Rig): Epiroc (Atlas Copco) Boomer 281
Rock Drill (Drifter) Model: COP 1838HD+
Drilling Parameters:
Feed Pressure (Propulsion): 75–80 bar
Percussion Pressure (Impact): 180 bar
Rotation Pressure: 190 bar
Flushing Water Pressure: 10–12 bar
