VISCOSITY
((Viscosity is a
measure of the
internal resistance
of a fluid to flow))
1- Funnel Viscosity
Apparent Viscosity (vis)
• is the measured times it
takes for one quart of
mud to gravity feed
through a hole of a
specific diameter.
viscosity
2- Multi Speed rheometr
• relates viscosity to
shear rate and
shear stress.
i. Newtonian fluids
ii. Non Newtonian fluids
2- RHEOLOGY ((continue))
b-Plastic viscosity (Pv)
is that part of flow resistance in a mud caused
primarily by the friction between the suspended
particles and by the viscosity of the continuous
liquid phase. i.e. it is a representation of the
concentration, size and shape of the solid particles.
c-Yield point (Yp)
is a measurement under flowing conditions of the
forces in the mud which cause gel structure to
develop when the mud is at rest.
Gel strength
