Air Hammer Bit Piston Passages
The air hammer bit used in this example operation has three passages in the
piston that allow the compressed air to flow to the chamber below the piston, each
with an inside diameter of 0.625 inches and length of 8.0 inches. Thus, the inside
diameter of the passage, D pp, is
