This SAE Standard applies to horizontal earthboring machines of the following types: a.) Auger Machines; b.) Pipe Pushers; c.) Rotary rod machines; d.) Impact Machines; and e.) Directional Boring/Drilling Machines. The illustrations used are for classification and are not intended to resemble a particular machine. only basic working dimensions are given. They may be supplemented by the machine manufacturer. This document is based on existing commercial horizontal earthboring machines. This document does not apply to specialized mining machinery in SAE J1116, conveyors, tunnel boring machines, pipe jacking systems, and microtunnelers.
