    This document discusses funnel viscosity mud testing, which measures trends in drilling fluid viscosity over time. The test uses a Marsh Funnel to time how many seconds it takes for a quart of drilling fluid to pass through the funnel into a receiving jug. Funnel viscosity values depend on fluid type and temperature, so results should not be compared between different drilling operations. The test should be calibrated using water, which should pass through the funnel in 26 +/- 0.5 seconds.

    Funnel Viscosity - Mud Testing

    The main use of this test is to indicate trends, and signal changes, in fluid viscosity during the drilling operation.Funnel viscosity values are dependent
    both on fluid type and temperature, therefore, results should not be compared between different operations.
    Equipment
    Marsh Funnel and receiving jug with the one quart level clearly marked.
    Reporting
    Report in Seconds per quart to the nearest whole second.
    Sources of Error
    Always check orifice for obstructions.
    Calibrate with water, should be 26 +/- 0.5 seconds.
