starting barrel [′stärd·iŋ ‚bar·əl]

(engineering)

A short (12 to 24 inches or 30 to 60 centimeters) core barrel used to begin coring operations when the distance between the drill chuck and the bottom of the hole or to the rock surface in which a borehole is to be collared is too short to permit use of a full 5- or 10-foot-long (1.5- or 3.0-meter) core barrel.
