Forms of supply Sandvik rock drill steel is supplied as hollow, hot-rolled, round or hexagon bar. The ends are trimmed square to within 0.15 mm (0.006 inches) maximum. The outer surface can be supplied dry, or oiled for protection against corrosion during transport.The flushing holes are normally sealed with plastic caps. Bars are supplied in standard bundles containing max 1500 kg (3300 lbs). Surface condition Both the outer and inner surfaces are free from harmful slag marks, cracks and scratches.The maximum depth of defects is 0.20 mm (0.008 inches) on the outer surface and 0.15 mm (0.006...
