Note 3

Note 1 Extendedtesting regime applies if temperature > 40oC or slurry not Class G/H + accelerator. For deep water test slurries j t.S SC @ no less than 15oC. Less than 1.9 GS should be tested at <1OoC Note 2 Where structuralsupport or zonal isolation is requiredcompressivestrength musi be determined. When purely a filler slurry il is unnecessary. Note 3 When the hole angle exceeds 70' a BP settlement tesi is required.
