Marsh Funnel Viscometer for Cement
The marsh funnel viscometer is a tough, easy to use instrument to make quick, on the spot measurements of drilling mud viscosity. Calibration temperature is key when using this instrument. Marsh funnel readings are only general measurements, but reporting the marsh funnel viscosity frequently will alert the mud engineer to any changes in the mud viscosity that need attention. The marsh funnel Viscosity is the ratio of the speed of the mud as it goes through the outlet tube (internal diameter and the shear rate) to the amount of force — the weight of the mud itself which is pushing the mud (the shear stress). marsh funnel viscosity is the number of seconds it takes for one quart of mud to flow out of a full marsh funnel.
The Marsh Funnel Viscometer for Cement is a rugged and easy to use instrument to make quick and accurate measurements of drilling mud viscosity. It’s a must have for mud engineers and technicians in the field to get an idea of the relative viscosity of the drilling mud.
The marsh funnel readings from this viscometer gives a general measurement of viscosity, so you can identify any sudden changes in the mud viscosity that needs immediate attention. The viscosity of the mud is the ratio of the speed of the mud as it goes through the outlet tube (the shear rate) to the amount of force — the weight of the mud itself which is pushing the mud (the shear stress). The marsh funnel viscosity is the number of seconds it takes for one quart of mud to flow out of a full marsh funnel. This instrument also supports real time viscosity measurements, making it very useful in field operations.

Marsh Funnel Viscometer
The Marsh Funnel Viscometer is an industry standard in the oil and gas industry to measure drilling fluids viscosity. It’s tough and easy to use to make quick on the spot measurements of drilling mud viscosity, very useful in field operations.
One of the key feature of the Marsh Funnel Viscometer is it can measure the relative viscosity of drilling fluids, a critical factor in designing and optimizing drilling fluids. The device is calibrated to flow one quart (946 mL) of fresh water at 70 ± 5°F (21 ± 3°C) to give consistent and reliable readings.
Made of tough plastic, the Marsh Funnel Viscometer is built to withstand field use without breaking or cracking. It has a brass orifice to give consistent readings and accurate measurements of drilling mud viscosity. It measures 6.5” × 6.25” × 14.5” (17 × 16 × 37 cm) and weighs 12 oz (340.2 g) so it’s portable and easy to handle.
The primary purpose of the Marsh Funnel Viscometer is to measure the flow properties of drilling fluids which is crucial for efficient drilling. Its simplicity and cost effectiveness makes it a popular choice for real time viscosity measurements so mud engineers can make quick decisions. The Marsh Funnel Viscometer is used in the oil and gas industry to provide critical data to maintain mud quality and performance.
Cement Industry
While the Marsh Funnel Viscometer is an industry standard in the oil and gas industry, it’s also used in the cement industry. In this sector the device is used to measure the viscosity of cement slurries for cement mixing and pumping operations.
The Marsh Funnel Viscometer determines the flow properties of cement slurries which is critical for optimal performance during mixing and pumping. By measuring the relative viscosity of cement slurries the device helps in designing and optimizing cement formulations to meet the required specifications.
Real time monitoring of cement slurry viscosity is another benefit of using the Marsh Funnel Viscometer. This allows for quick correction if the viscosity is out of range so the cement slurry will maintain the right consistency for pumping and mixing.
The device also measures the shear rate and shear stress of cement slurries to give a deeper understanding of its flow properties. This is critical for designing and mixing cement slurries to improve cement quality and reduce operational cost.
In short the Marsh Funnel Viscometer is a must have in the cement industry to get accurate and reliable cement slurry viscosity. Real time data to improve mixing and pumping.
