Inner cutting structure
(all inner rows)
Outer cutting structure
(gauge row only)
In columns 1 and 2, a linear scale from
0 to 8 is used to describe the condition
of the cutting structure according to the
following:
Steel tooth bits
A measure of lost tool height resulting
from abrasion and/or damage.
0 – No loss of tooth height.
8 – Total loss of tooth height.
Insert bits
A measure of total cutting structure
reduction resulting from lost, worn and/or
broken inserts.
0 – No lost, worn and/or broken inserts.
8 – All inserts lost, worn and/or broken.
Fixed cutter bits
A measure of lost, worn and/or broken
cutting structure.
0 – No lost, worn and/or cutting structure.
8 – All of cutting structure Lost, worn
and/or broken.
3 Dull characteristics
(Use only cutting structure related codes.)
BC – broken cone
BF – bond failure
BT – broken teeth/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
JD – junk damage
LC – lost cone
LN – lost nozzle
LT – lost teeth/cutters
OC – off-center wear
PB – pinched bit
PN – plugged nozzle/flow passage
RG – rounded gauge
RO – ring out
SD – shirttail damage
SS – self-sharpening wear
TR – tracking
WO – washed out bit
WT – worn teeth/cutters
NO – no dull characteristic

Roller cone
N – nose row Cone no.
M – middle row 1
G – gauge row 2
A – all rows 3
Fixed cutter
C – cone S – shoulder

T – taper A – all areas
Bearings/seals
Non-sealed bearings
A linear scale estimating bearing life
used. (0 – No life used, 8 – All life used,
i.e., no bearing life remaining.)
Sealed bearings
E – seals effective
F – seals failed
N – not able to grade
X – fixed cutter bit (bearingless)
Gauge measure in 1⁄16 of an inch.

Other dull characteristic
Refer to column three codes.
Reason pulled or run terminated
BHA – change bottomhole assembly
DMF – downhole motor failure
DTF – downhole tool failure
DSF – downhole string failure
DST – drill stem test
LOG – run logs
LIH – left in hole
RIG – rig repair
CM – condition mud
CP – core point
DP – drill plug
