Available for Drill Types: - - Surface - Coring - Underground - Coring - Sonic - Geotechnical ACRC available in KruxLog allows users to:  - - Set barrel constants for each drilling activity - Incorporate rod count - Automate String Length and Depth-To calculations To enable ACRC, go the Presets--\>Report Setup in KruxMetrix so that it will be available in KruxLog within Drilling Activities of a DSR: ![Presets Report Setup for ACRC](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Presets%20Report%20Setup%20for%20ACRC.png?width=688&height=434&name=Presets%20Report%20Setup%20for%20ACRC.png)   Note: In KruxLog--\>Preferences, you can set the Unit of Measure (the default is metric) along with other settings. ![KruxLog Preferences](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/KruxLog%20Preferences.png?width=688&height=943&name=KruxLog%20Preferences.png)   A key component of ACRC is **Barrel Constants**: ![ACRC Barrel Constants more](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20more.png?width=688&height=955&name=ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20more.png) - - Core Barrel Size: industry standards - Second Barrel: associated second barrel sizes - Orientation Tool: industry standards - Orientation Extension for various sizes - Constant Stick Up: manual entry - Rod Length: industry standards - Barrel Length Calculation: calculated based on inputs ![ACRC Barrel Constants modal](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20modal.png?width=688&height=764&name=ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20modal.png) After Barrel Constants have been entered, users may start adding Core Runs for that Drill Activity with "Add Core": ![ACRC Add Core](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Add%20Core.png?width=688&height=775&name=ACRC%20Add%20Core.png) Input core run data: ![ACRC Barrel Constants Add Core modal](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20Add%20Core%20modal.png?width=688&height=1003&name=ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20Add%20Core%20modal.png) 1. Add Rods – Add/subtract rods or manually enter rods for that run 2. Total Rod Count – Cumulative rod count in the hole 3. Sub Length/Sub Description – Manual entry; Add sub length using consistent units. Input sub description as needed. 4. String Length– Automatic calculation of string length based on Barrel Constants, Rod Count and Sub 5. Stick Up – Manual entry of Stick Up for that run; add length using consistent units 6. Depth From – Auto-populated field informed by Activity Depth From, or the previous core run Depth To 7. Depth To – Calculated value based on String Length and Stick Up 8. Recovered – Manual entry field of Core Recovered; Core Loss and % Recovered calculated based on Total Drilled and Recovered values 9. Orientation – Yes/No dropdown to indicated whether orientation was successful Barrel Constants and Core Run Data can be reviewed and edited within the Activity by expanding/collapsing the arrow or clicking the Edit icon: ![ACRC Barrel Constants expanded](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20expanded.png?width=688&height=1020&name=ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20expanded.png) ![ACRC Barrel Constants - Core expanded](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20-%20Core%20expanded.png?width=688&height=1036&name=ACRC%20Barrel%20Constants%20-%20Core%20expanded.png) Note: Editing a Barrel Constant will result in updated calculations throughout the associated core runs for that activity    - [KruxMetrix](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Daily Shift Reports](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#daily-shift-reports) - [Timesheets](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#timesheets) - [Management](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#management) - [Reports](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#reports) - [Presets](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#presets) - [Documents](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#documents) - [Settings](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix?hsLang=en#settings) - [KruxMetrix DSR 2.0](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxmetrix-dsr-2-0?hsLang=en) - [KruxLog](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Menu](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#menu) - [Home](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#home) - [Daily Shift Report](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#daily-shift-report) - [Timesheets](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#timesheets) - [Past Reports](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#past-reports) - [Preferences](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/kruxlog?hsLang=en#preferences) - [Analytics](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#general) - [Custom Analytics](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#custom-analytics) - [Dashboards for Drilling](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#dashboards-for-drilling) - [Dashboards for Mining](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/analytics?hsLang=en#dashboards-for-mining) - [Integrations](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Tips and Tricks](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/tips-and-tricks?hsLang=en) - [Subscriptions and Services](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [API](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/knowledge/subscriptions-and-services?hsLang=en#api) [![Krux favicon logo](https://knowledgebase.kruxanalytics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Krux_Icon_FullColour-3.png?width=20&height=24&name=Krux_Icon_FullColour-3.png "Krux favicon logo")](https://www.kruxanalytics.com/) Please reach out to us at support@kruxanalytics.com if you need any further support.
