1 - Inner cutting structure (All inner rows.) 2 - Outer cutting structure ( Gauge rows only.)
In columns 1 and 2 a linear scale of 0 ---> 8 is used to describe the condition of the cutting structure according to the following guidelines for specific bit types.

G - Gauge row

S - Shoulder G - Guage A - All areas

Steel toothed bits

Measure of lost tooth height due to abrasion and / or damage

0 - No loss of tooth height 8 - Total loss of tooth

M - Middle row A - All Rows State cone # or #'s I.e. 1, 2, or 3.

Insert bits

Measures total cutting structure reduction of lost, worn, & or broken inserts 0 - No lost worn and / or broken inserts 8 - 0% of inserts and / or cutting structure remaining.

5 - Bearings and seals

Non sealed bearings
A linear scale estimating bearing life is used 0 = No life used ---> 8, 100% bearing life used

Fixed cutter bits

Measure of lost tooth height due to abrasion and / or damage 0 - No lost, worn and / or broken cutting structure 8 - 100% of cutting structure lost, worn and / or broken

Sealed bearings E - Seals effective F - Seals failed N - Not able to grade X - Fixed cutter bit

6 - Gauge
x - in gauge
1/16 - 1/16" out of gauge 1/8 - 1/8" ut of gauge 3/16-3/16" out of gauge
7/16 - 7/16" out of gauge etc.

3 - Dull characteristics
Note: use only cutting structure related codes
BC - Broken cone * BF - Bond failure BT - Broken teeth and cutters BU - Balled up bit CC - Cracked cone * CD - Cone dragged * CI - Cone interference CR - Cored CT - Chipped Teeth & cutters ER - Erosion FC - Flat crested wear HC - Heat checking LD - Junk damage LC - Lost cone * LN - Lost nozzle LT - Lost teeth and cutters OC - Off centre wear PB - Pinched bit PN- Plugged nozzle or flow by areas RG - Rounded gauge RO - Ring out SD - Shirttail damage SS - Shelf sharpening wear TR - Cone tracking WO - Wash out WT - Worn teeth or cutters NO - No dull characteristics

1/4 - 1/14" out of gauge 5/16 - 5/16" out of gauge 3/8 -3/8" out of gauge 1/2 - 1/2" out of gauge 9/16 - 9/16" out of gauge 5/8 - 5/8" out of gauge

7 - Other dull characteristics Refer to column 3 codes 8 - Reasons bit was pulled or run completed
BHA- Change bottom hole assembly DMF - Downhole motor failure DTF - Downhole tool failure DSF - Drill string failure DST - Drill stem test DP - Drill Plug CM - Condition mud CP - Core point FM - Formation change HP - Hole problems LIH - Left in hole HR - Hours on bit LOG - Run logs PP - Pump pressure PR - Penetration rate Rig - Rig repair TD - Total depth / casing depth TW - Twist off TQ - Torque WC - Weather conditions
