Abstract

An elongate drill component for percussive drilling includes a female threaded end having an outer diameter (Dot), a male threaded end, and a central section between the ends having an outer diameter (Doc). The outer diameter of the female threaded end is larger than the outer diameter of the central section. A through-going flushing channel includes a central flushing channel having a diameter (Dic) and thread flushing channels having a diameter (Dit). The ratio of an elastic section modulus of a threaded joint measured when the female threaded end is connected to the male threaded end of an identical component to an elastic section modulus of the central section, St/Sc, is more than 1.5 and in that a ratio of the diameter of the central flushing channel to the outer diameter of the central section, Dic/Doc is between 0.45 and 0.95.
