Volume of Dilution Water or Mud Required to Maintain Circulating Volume
Volume of Dilution Water or Mud Required to Maintain Circulating Volume formula |
||
| \( V_{wm} \;=\; V_m \; ( F_l - F_o ) \;/\; F_l \; F_a \) | ||
| Symbol | English | Metric |
| \( V_{wm} \) = Volume of Dilution Water or Mud Required to Maintain Circulating Volume | \(bbl\) | - |
| \( V_m \) = Volume of Mud in Circulating System | \(bbl\) | - |
| \( F_l \) = Low Gravity Solids in System (%) | \(dimensionless\) | - |
| \( F_o \) = Optimum Low Gravity Solids Desired (%) | \(dimensionless\) | |
| \( F_a \) = Low Gravity Solids Added (%) | \(dimensionless\) | |
