kelly-stang


Definition from Miljøstyrelsen:
Firkantet eller sekskantet borestang monteret øverst på borestammen.

Example sentence(s):
  • Et tidligere anvendt system til overføring af rotation bestod af en firkantet eller sekskantet borestang - en såkaldt Kelly-stang - monteret øverst på borestammen. Denne kunne vandre lodret gennem et drejebord med en central gennemgang med tværsnit svarende til Kellystangens. Rotationen overføres via drejebordet til Kelly-stangen og dermed til borestammen, jf. Figur 18. Borestammen med mejsel blev holdt oppe af en wire fastgjort til toppen af kellystangen, som via en topskive i boretårnet var forbundet til et wirespil. Wiren blev firet af spillet i takt med uddybningen af boringen. Dette princip blev især anvendt inden for olieindustrien og anvendes stadig i nogen udstrækning. - Miljøstyrelsen
