Welcome to Petropath, a trusted name in drilling fluid testing equipments.
Mud Balance is an essential tool designed to deliver accurate and consistent measurements of drilling fluid density, commonly known as mud weight. With a rugged design, precision calibration, and easy operation, the Petropath Mud Balance is the preferred choice for both field engineers and laboratory professionals.
A Mud Balance is a key laboratory and field instrument used to measure the density of drilling fluids such as water-based mud (WBM), oil-based mud (OBM), and synthetic-based mud (SBM). The balance determines fluid weight in units such as pounds per gallon (ppg), specific gravity (SG), and kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
By placing a sample of mud in the graduated cup and balancing it using a sliding counterweight, operators can quickly assess if the fluid meets drilling specifications.
Maintaining the correct mud weight is critical to well control, formation integrity, and drilling safety. Fluids that are too heavy can fracture formations, while fluids that are too light may lead to blowouts or stuck pipe issues. A mud balance ensures reliable density data that helps engineers optimize fluid formulations, reduce non-productive time (NPT), and improve overall drilling efficiency.
