Bulk Density of Cuttings by using Mud Balance Procedure to obtain RW: 1. Cuttings must be washed free of mud. In oil base mud, diesel oil can be used instead of water. 2. Set mud balance at 8.33 ppg. 3. Fill the mud balance with cuttings until a balance is obtained with the lid in place. 4. Remove lid, fill cup with water (cuttings included), replace lid, and dry outside of mud balance. 5. Move counterweight to obtain new balance. This value is “Rw” = resulting weight with cuttings plus water, ppg. RW, ppg SG
14 3.13
h cuttings plus water, ppg.
