Abstract:
Drill string element for installing in a drill string, in particular for horizontal or slant directional drilling (HDD or SDD), for the creation of a drill hole ( 100 ) along a drill path, in particular for laying a pipeline, comprising a tubular main body ( 11 ) having bilateral connecting elements ( 13, 15 ) for connecting the drill string element ( 10 ) to the drill string, wherein the drill string element ( 10 ) has an interior ( 22 ) through which a flushing medium for the flushing of the drill hole ( 100 ) and the evacuation of drill cuttings loosened by a drill head connected to the drill string is transportable, comprising at least one opening ( 23 ), connected to the interior ( 22 ), in a wall ( 16 ) of the main body ( 11 ), through which at least a part of the flushing medium flowing through the interior makes its way into an annular space ( 102 ) between drill hole wall ( 103 ) and main body ( 11 ), characterized in that on the outer wall ( 16 ), over the opening ( 23 ), is arranged at least one body ( 17 ), in which is disposed, at least in part, a flow channel ( 24 ), in that the flow channel ( 24 ) has at least one flow path and is fluidically connected to the opening ( 23 ) via an inlet opening ( 25 ), in that the flow channel ( 24 ), on its side facing away from the opening ( 23 ), has at least one outlet opening ( 28 ), and in that the clear cross section of the opening ( 23 ) and/or inlet opening ( 25 ) is smaller or larger than the clear cross section of the outlet opening ( 28 ).

Claim (Index 24):
The drill string element as claimed in  claim 23 , wherein a blind flange is disposed in the access opening as a closure element.
