In 1987, the Internafional Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC)
initiated the use of a four-character IADC system for roller cone bits.
In 1992, the system was expanded to include more features.

4th Code Character eature 1, Security DBSNomenclature

The system involves the combination of the traditional three-numeral
system with a fourth alpha character. This fourth character more clearly
defines additional features of roller cone bits with regard to cutting
structures, bearings, seals, hydraulics and spec@ applications.
The co& to the right are used in the fourth position of the
fourth-character IADC bit classijication system.
