The drilling muds parameters are playing a major role in drilling technology and particularly in oil and gas drilling technology. At present those parameters are measured manually at long and irregular time intervals. In Satpajev university a general method of the existing manual measurements automatization has been worked. A number of patents on appliances for automatic continuous measuring the drilling mud funnel viscosity, density, jell stress and other parameters was obtained. Engineering development on creati...

In drilling industry constantly arises a need for information on pressure drops in the sections of the well bore flushing system. For that, knowledge on the drilling mud viscosity is required. Drilling muds are mostly belonging to the non-Newtonian liquids, whose viscosity is characterized by the plastic viscosity and the yield point. All existing viscometers are rather complicated and expensive aggregates, poorly meeting requirements of field conditions. In the industry, the Marsh funnel has found wide applicatio...
