TRU-WATE Pressurized Fluid Density Scale - OFITE
The absolute density of a fluid sample is measured by using the Halliburton Tru-Wate™ pressurized fluid density scale exclusively manufactured by OFITE. The operation is similar to the conventional mud balance, with the additional capability of placing the sample in the cup under pressure.
Drilling fluids and foam cements often have a considerable amount of air entrained or trapped within the fluid that may give erroneous results when determining fluid density using conventional equipment. This air volume may be decreased to a negligible quantity by pressurizing the sample cup, which will then give more accurate density readings of the fluid itself.
The standard scale density may be read directly in units of:
lbs/gal
lbs/ft3
specific gravity
PSI/1000 ft
