MUD BALANCE-ASTM D4380
The Mud Balance is an essential tool for measuring the density of drilling fluids. While ASTM D4380 is widely used, other international standards such as API RP 13B-1, API RP 13B-2, and ISO 10414-1 also define similar test methods.
Applications
Mud Balance is a simple method for fast and accurate determination of density of the drilling mud and Bentonite Slurry Mixture.
Details
The Mud Balance has a volume sample cup with a lid, connected to a graduated arm, a moving rider, knife edge and a built in spirit level - measuring the density of the drilling fluid in 4 different ranges.
- 0.72‑2.88 specific gravity
- 6‑24 pounds per gallon
- 45‑180 Pounds per cubic foot
- 310‑1250 Pounds per square inch per 1000 foot of depth
The balance is made of a special aluminum alloy.
