| LWD (Long Way of the Diamond), measured from the center of the joint to the center of the adjacent joint. This dimension is built into the tool, and is always parallel to the width of the coil and corresponds with the diamond dimension. |
|
| SWD (Short Way of the Diamond) is the length of the short axis way of the diamond, measured from the center of the joint to the center of the joint. For each fixed LWD dimension, there is a range of SWD dimensions available as shown above. |
