Retort Kit, 20 mL

The Retort provides a method for measuring the percentage (%) of oil, water, and solids (suspended and dissolved) contained in a sample of water-based or oil-based drilling fluids and cuttings. Knowledge of oil, water, and solid content is fundamental to proper control of mud properties when considering oil/water ratios, rheology, density, filtration, and salinity. Knowledge of solids in drilling fluids is essential to evaluation of viscosity control and solids control equipment.
