Number of Sacks of Cement Required for a Given Length of Plug Formula
\( n_s \;=\; \dfrac{ L_p \cdot C_c \cdot V }{ Y }\) (Sacks of Cement Required) \( L_p \;=\; \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y }{ C_c \cdot V }\) \( C_c \;=\; \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y }{ L_p \cdot V }\) \( V \;=\; \dfrac{ n_s \cdot Y }{ L_p \cdot C_c }\) \( Y \;=\; \dfrac{ L_p \cdot C_c \cdot V }{ n_s }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\( n_s \) = Sacks of Cement Required	\(dimensionless\)	-
\( L_p \) = Plug Length	\(ft\)	-
\( C_c \) = Casing Capacity	\(ft^3\;/\;ft\)	-
\( V \) = Excess Volume	\(ft^3\)	-
\( Y \) = Slurry Yield	\(ft^3\;/\;stroke\)	-
