of the Experiment: determination of densities Introduction The density of a sample of matter represents the mass contained within a unit volume of space in the sample. For most samples‚ a unit volume means 1.0 ml. The units of density‚ therefore‚ are quoted in terms of grams per milliliter (g/ml) or grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3) for most solid and liquid samples of matter. Density is often used as a point of identification in the determination of an unknown substance. The density of the

Drilling Mud density or specific gravity is the most significant measurement required and no reliable visual estimate exists. The mud density or specific gravity must be accurately measured in order to successfully drill a well hole. The most accurate measurement of mud density is made by using the Mud Balance. Viscosity is the resistance to flow offered by a fluid. The term is loosely applied as the flow properties of drilling mud. The relative viscosity‚ or the cuttings carrying ability of the

Drilling mud agitator http://www.kosungroup.com/products/solids-control-equipment/mud-agitator.html is composed of explosion-proof motor‚ speed reducer‚ motor base and blade. The connection between motor and speed reducer‚ speeder reducer and impeller shaft is achieved by steel coupling. The impeller is welded by four blades. The impeller makes the fluid in vortex motion and improves the agitation effect. The pallet among the vanes can prevent solid particles in mud from depositing around the

2014 Period 4 Lab #1: Density Determinations for Solutions Theory: The density of a sample of matter is very useful when trying to find the identity of an unknown substance. The units of density are quoted in (g/mL) for liquid samples of matter. For that reason if the volume is known of a liquid‚ determining its density is easily determined by weighing it accurately. Density can also be used as a tool for finding the concentration of solutions in some cases. The density is different in a substance

DRILLING FLUIDS The key to making the rotary drilling system work is the ability to circulate a fluid continuously down through the drill pipe‚ out through the bit nozzles and back to the surface. The drilling fluid can be air‚ foam (a combination of air and liquid or a liquid. Liquid drilling fluids are commonly called drilling mud. All drilling fluids‚ especially drilling mud‚ can have a wide range of chemical and physical properties. These properties are specifically designed for

LAB REPORT # 1 DENSITY DETERMINATION CHEMISTRY 100 – 04 INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment is to find out the density of the unknown solid object by determining the mass and the volume through the experiment. To do this we will be get the mass of the object and determine the volume of the object by placing it into a liquid. Then we will divide mass by volume and get its density. PROCEDURE: 1) Obtain a solid metal 2) Weigh the dry sample carefully to

Pumping a pill o Where a small amount of mud (around 50bbl) is pumped in the hole to ‘cure’ a problem. • Tripping out o Process of removing and/or replacing pipe from the well when it is necessary to change the bit or other piece of the drill string‚ or when preparing to run certain tests in the well bore. • Top drive o A mechanical device on a drilling rig that provides clockwise torque to the drill string to facilitate the process of drilling a borehole. • Kelly hose o is a flexible

Bubbles Up: A Science Experiment on Density Density is the measure of the quantity of some physical property [usually mass] per unit length‚ area‚ or volume (YourDictionary.com). How does temperature affect density? Do items become denser after being frozen? It is well known that water becomes denser when it ’s temperature lowers until its freezing point. Does this principle apply to oil; and if so‚ which kinds? This question easily applies to real world problems. For example‚ when there is an
