1 liter, plastic measuring cup for collecting sample from marsh funnel.
The marsh funnel viscometer with its marsh funnel cup is a tough, easy to use instrument for making quick on the spot measurements of drilling mud viscosity. The marsh funnel viscometer cup is designed with specific capacity and orifice dimensions to ensure accurate measurements. Marsh funnel readings are only rough measurements, but frequent reporting of the marsh funnel viscosity will alert the mud engineer to any changes in the mud viscosity that may need attention. The marsh funnel viscosity is the ratio of the speed of the mud as it goes through the outlet tube (the shear rate) to the force — the weight of the mud itself which is causing the mud to flow (the shear stress). Marsh funnel viscosity is reported as the number of seconds for one quart of mud to flow out of a full marsh funnel.
Product Description
The Marsh Funnel Viscometer is a tough and easy to use instrument for making quick on the spot measurements of drilling mud viscosity. It is a must have tool for mud engineers to monitor and control the viscosity of drilling fluids which is crucial for optimal drilling. By giving rough measurements of mud viscosity the Marsh Funnel Viscometer will alert the mud engineer to any changes in the drilling fluids viscosity so corrective action can be taken. This will ensure drilling can continue smoothly and efficiently with minimal downtime and problems.
