Mud Balance: temperature change and maintains volumetric accuracy, and a counterweight. Plastic carrying case provided. An outstanding advantage of this Mud Balance is that the temperature of the sample does not materially affect the accuracy of readings. The Mud Balance is constructed with an easy to read beam which is graduated into four scales: pounds per gallon, specific gravity, pounds per cubic foot, and pounds per square inch per 1,000 feet of depth.asuring Range:
•lb/gal: 6-24
•lb/sq in/1000ft of depth: 310-1250
•lb/cu ft: 45-180
•gms/cm3 (Specific Gravity): 0.72-2.88
This balance meets all the requirements of the API standard procedures for testing water base drilling fluids, oil base drilling fluids and oil well cements.

Note: The volume of space occupied by entrapped gas or air bubbles in a sample fluid may distort the accuracy of the fluid density measurement. This distortion can be significantly reduced by pressurizing the fluid. The density of a fluid containing entrained air or gas can be determined more accurately by using a pressurized fluid density balance.
