manualdrilling fluid

A simple, accurate and inexpensive sieve analysis apparatus for determining the sand content of drilling muds Sieve analysis is the preferred method for sand content determination because of the reliability of the test and simplicity of equipment. The volume of sand, including that of void spaces between grains, is usually measured and expressed as a percentage by volume of the drilling fluid. The kit consists of a special 200-mesh sieve 2½ inches in diameter, fastened inside a collar upon which a small funnel is fitted on either end. This is used with a 10 ml glass measuring tube, graduated to read from 0 to 20% the percentage sand by volume. The collar and funnel are made of polyethylene and the screen is made of non-corrosion 316 Stainless Steel.
