pH of fluid

pH of fluid

The pH of the fluid is important in that it tells what contaminants are being drilled. Normally our fluid will carry a pH of 8.0-9.0. Within these ranges we find removal and development is more readily controlled.

A simplified method of pH determination is by the use of a paper indicator called Phydrion Dispenser. A strip of this paper is torn from the dispenser and allowed to absorb filtrate from the surface of the mud by placing it gently on the surface. It will change color and this is matched with color strips on the dispenser.

Good maintenance of equipment, proper techniques, suitable equipment and good mud control will enable you to successfully complete the construction. Hydraulic Rotary drilling success is extremely dependent upon a successful program. It, as all methods of construction, has its particular application.
