This recommended practice provides standard procedures
for determining the following characteristics of water-based
drilling fluids:
a) drilling fluid density (mud weight);
b) viscosity and gel strength;
c) filtration;
d) water, oil, and solids contents;
e) sand content;
f) methylene blue capacity;
g) pH;
h) alkalinity and lime content;
i) chloride content;
j) total hardness as calcium;
k) low-gravity solids and weighting material concentrations.
Annexes A through K provide additional test methods that may be used for:
- chemical analysis for calcium, magnesium, calcium sulfate, sulfide, carbonate, and potassium;
- determination of shear strength;
- determination of resistivity;
- removal of air;
- drill-pipe corrosion monitoring;
- sampling, inspection, and rejection;
- rig-site sampling;
- calibration and verification of glassware, thermometers, timers, viscometers, retort cup, and drilling fluid balances;
- permeability plugging testing at high temperature and high pressure for two types of equipment;
- sag testing.
