This document provides information on the IADC classification system for drill bits, including:
- The system uses a combination of three numbers and a fourth alpha character to classify bits according to features like cutting structures, bearings, seals, and applications.
- The fourth character further defines bits based on criteria such as insert type, motor application, and other features.
- A scale from 0 to 8 is used to describe conditions like tooth height loss or number of broken inserts, with 0 being new and 8 being fully worn/broken.
