3. Applications
R38 self-drilling hollow anchor bars can be used in many underground and surface construction projects. Common uses include:
4. Advantages
Self-drilling hollow anchor bars simplify the construction process since they work as a drill rod and grouting pipe. Fewer steps are required for installation which reduces project time. Also, since conventional anchoring involves drilling the borehole first and then installing the anchor; there is risk of borehole collapse when working in unstable ground conditions. The self-drilling anchor system eliminates this problem.
Pressure grouting can be performed by injecting grout through the hollow body of the anchor bar. The grout fills up any cracks or voids in the ground around the borehole. This increases bonding strength between the ground and anchor; improves corrosion protection on the thread exposed to the ground; and helps maintain long-term stability.
5. Corrosion Protection Options
We can provide optional corrosion protection to prolong service life. Options include:
* Hot-dip galvanized per ISO 14 61
* Epoxy coating with bending performance tested to ISO 15 19
* Impact tested per ASTM D27 94
* Adhesion tested to ISO 24 09:2007

7. FAQ
Q: What is an R38 hollow self-drilling anchor bar?
A: Drill rod and grouting pipe all in one. Connect nut, insert into ground then drill and grout into place. Commonly used for tunnel support, mining support and geotechnical anchorage applications.
Q: What is the difference between R38N/21 and R38N/19?
A: The outer diameter and ultimate load value are same. The inner diameter of R38N/19 is smaller than R38N/21. So the cross section area and weight per meter of R38N/19 are bigger.
Q: Can you inject grout through the R38 hollow anchor bar?
A: Yes! The center is hollow so you can inject grout through the anchor body.
Q: What types of accessories are available for these anchor bars?
A: Available accessories include nuts, couplers, plates, centralizers and drill bit adapters.
Q: Does rust preventions options are available?
A: Yes. Hot dip galvanizing and epoxy coating options are available.
