Mud Balance
The Mud Balance is used to determine fluid density. It consists of a constant-volume sample cup and lid connected to a balance arm with 4 graduated scales of Pounds per Gallon (LB/GAL), Specific Gravity (SP GR-g/cm³), Pounds per Cubic Feet (LBS/CU.FT) and Pounds per Square Inch per 1000 Feet of Depth LBS/SQ.IN./1000FT). Its high-impact plastic carrying case provides a secure stable base for the balance when in use.
The Mud Balance meets the requirements of API standard procedures for testing water-base drilling fluids, oil-base drilling fluids and oil well cements.
