Drill Bit Accessories

Essential support equipment for drill bit operation, maintenance, and safe handling. All accessories are manufactured to the same exacting quality standards as Volga Burmash drill bits and are designed for seamless compatibility with our product range.

Product Categories

Jet Nozzles (Oil & Gas)

Tungsten carbide jet nozzles specifically designed for oilfield roller cone and PDC drill bits. Jet nozzles control the velocity and direction of drilling fluid as it exits the bit, which is critical for efficient bottom-hole cleaning, cuttings transport, and overall drilling performance. Proper nozzle selection directly impacts rate of penetration and bit life.

Our nozzles are manufactured from erosion-resistant tungsten carbide grades that withstand the abrasive action of drilling fluid containing sand, cuttings, and weighting materials. Available in all standard IADC sizes from 7/32" to 32/32" (in 1/32" increments), with custom bore sizes available on request. Each nozzle is individually inspected for bore diameter, roundness, and surface quality.

  • Sizes: 7/32" to 32/32" (1/32" increments)
  • Material: Tungsten carbide, erosion-resistant grade
  • Compatibility: Standard API nozzle retention systems
  • Bore tolerance: +/- 0.1 mm on all sizes
  • Packaging: Individual nozzles or sets of 3

Bit Breakers

Heavy-duty bit breakers for safe and efficient makeup and breakout of drill bits at the rig floor. A bit breaker sits in the rotary table and holds the drill bit securely while the drill string is rotated to make up or break out the threaded connection. Using the correct bit breaker prevents damage to the bit body, cones, and cutting structure during handling.

Volga Burmash bit breakers are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel with heat-treated contact surfaces for maximum durability. Each breaker is machined to match the specific bit diameter and body profile, ensuring a secure grip without marking or deforming the bit. Available for all standard bit sizes from 5 5/8" to 26".

  • Sizes: 5 5/8" to 26" (all standard API sizes)
  • Material: AISI 4140 alloy steel, heat treated
  • Compatibility: Standard rotary table bowls (17 1/2", 20 1/2", 27 1/2")
  • Design: Two-piece hinged design for easy bit installation
  • Marking: Bit size permanently stamped on body

Makeup & Breakout Tools

Specialized hand tools and accessories for drill bit handling, nozzle installation, and connection maintenance. This category includes nozzle wrenches, nozzle installation tools, bit pin protectors, thread cleaning brushes, and connection grease applicators. Proper use of these tools extends the service life of both the bit and its mating sub.

Using dedicated makeup and breakout tools is essential for maintaining the integrity of API connections. Improper handling can damage pin or box threads, leading to connection failures, washouts, and costly downtime. Our tool set covers everything needed for professional bit handling from the warehouse to the rig floor and back.

  • Nozzle wrenches: For all standard nozzle sizes
  • Pin protectors: Plastic thread protectors for storage and transport
  • Thread brushes: Brass bristle brushes for API pin and box cleaning
  • Grease guns: Pre-loaded with API-approved thread compound
  • Torque guidelines: Reference charts included with each tool set

Why Proper Accessories Matter

Optimal Hydraulic Performance

Selecting the correct nozzle size is one of the most impactful decisions in drilling optimization. The right nozzle configuration maximizes hydraulic horsepower at the bit face, improving bottom-hole cleaning and rate of penetration. Our engineers can help you calculate the optimal nozzle sizes for your specific drilling parameters.

Safe Bit Handling

Drill bits are precision-engineered tools that can be damaged by improper handling. Using the correct bit breaker and makeup tools prevents thread galling, body damage, and cutting structure impact. Safe handling also protects rig personnel from injury during bit changes.

Connection Integrity

API connections must be made up to the correct torque with proper thread compound to prevent washouts and connection failures. Our makeup tools and torque reference charts ensure every bit is installed correctly, maintaining the pressure integrity of the drill string.

Extended Equipment Life

Investing in quality accessories pays for itself by extending the service life of expensive drill bits and related equipment. Proper nozzles prevent premature erosion, correct bit breakers prevent body damage, and good thread maintenance enables multiple makeups without connection degradation.

Ordering Information

Accessories can be ordered as standalone items or bundled with drill bit purchases. When ordering nozzles, please specify the required bore sizes in 32nds of an inch (e.g., 12/32", 14/32") and the quantity per size. For bit breakers, provide the bit size and your rotary table bowl diameter.

We recommend ordering a complete set of nozzles in the most commonly used sizes for your drilling program, along with a matching bit breaker for each bit size you run. This ensures you always have the right accessories available at the rig, eliminating delays caused by missing or incorrectly sized components.

All accessories are available from our Dubai warehouse for immediate delivery. Volume discounts apply to bulk nozzle and breaker orders. Contact our sales team for pricing and availability.
