Drilling Mud density or specific
gravity is the most significant measurement required and no reliable visual
estimate exists. The mud density or specific gravity must be accurately measured
in order to successfully drill a well hole. The most accurate measurement of mud
density is made by using the Fann Mud Balance.
Viscosity is the resistance to flow offered by a fluid. The term is loosely
applied as the flow properties of drilling mud. The relative viscosity, or the
cuttings carrying ability of the drilling fluid, can be measured by the Marsh
Funnel. This comparative measurement is performed by simply recording the
number of seconds required for a given volume of drilling fluid to pass through
the Marsh Funnel.

MUD BALANCE |
| The Fann Mud Balance provides a simple method for the accurate determination of mud density. An outstanding advantage of this balance is the fact that the temperature of the drilling mud does not materially affect the accuracy of readings. The durable construction of the Fann Mud Balance makes it ideal for field use. It is very accurate and constructed with break resistant parts. Principally, the balance consists of a base, graduated arm and cup, lid, knife edge, rider, built in spirit level, and a counterweight. The constant volume cup is affixed to one end of the graduated arm and the counterweight is attached to the other end. A plastic carrying case is provided which holds the balance intact and in working position. | ||

MARSH FUNNEL |
| The Fann Marsh Funnel Viscometer is made of rugged, break resistant red plastic that also resists temperature change deformation. Volumetric accuracy is assured. The plastic handle provides insulation to help protect hands during testing. A metal orifice assures accurate readings. The Marsh Funnel is used for routine viscosity determinations on almost every well drilling rig. | ||

MUD MEASURING CUP |
|
| The 1000cc high impact plastic measuring cup, which is graduated in cubic centimeters and fluid ounces, is designed specifically for use with the Marsh Funnel Viscometer. Lines are molded in at 350ml and at 1 quart ( 32 fl oz ) to aid in these tests. | ||

SAND CONTENT KIT |
| The Fann Sand Content Kit is a simple, accurate and inexpensive sieve analysis apparatus for determining the sand content of drilling mud. The kit consists of a special 200 mesh sieve 2-1/2" in diameter, fastened inside a collar upon either end of which fits a small funnel. This is used with the sand content tube. The collar and funnel are made of polyethylene and the screen is made of brass. | ||
