Solids Concentration or Content
Solids Concentration or Content : The total amount of solids in a drilling fluid as determined by distillation includes both the dissolved and the suspended or undissolved solids. The suspended-solids content may be a combination of high and low specific gravity solids and native or commercial solids. Examples of dissolved solids are the soluble salts of sodium, calcium, and magnesium. Suspended solids make up the wall cake; dissolved solids remain in the filtrate. The total suspended and dissolved solids contents are commonly expressed as percent by the volume, and less commonly as percent by weight. (Bul D11)
