DRILLING APPLICATION
CRITICAL ROTARY SPEEDS
Drill strings because of their rotations vibrate in the same manner as a pendulum on a
string (axial type) and also as a string on a violin (nodal type). Either may cause early
failure pipe through the phenomena of fatigue failure or by the abrasive wear of the contact speeds for nodal type of vibration given by the equation below. Inaccuracies may
be as much as 15% for ideal situations. These inaccuracies occur because of bore hole
size, drill collar weight, bit weight, bore hole friction, doglegs, and well bore inclination.
Nn = 33056 x (D + d).5 / S
Where . . . .
Nn = nodal type critical rotary speed, rpm
D = outside diameter of drill pipe, inches
d = inside diameter of drill pipe, inches
S = length of one joint of pipe between tool joints, feet
