Learn how to convert pressure into equivalent mud weight in PPG as per following formulas.
1. Convert pressure in psi unit into equivalent mud weight in ppg by using feet as the unit of measurement
Еквивалентни Кал Тегло, ppg = pressure in psi ÷ 0.052 ÷ True Vertical Depth (TVD) in ft
Example: pressure = 5000 psi true vertical depth = 8000 ft
Еквивалентни Кал Тегло, ppg = 5000 psi ÷ 0.052 ÷ 8000 ft
Еквивалентни Кал Тегло, ppg = 12.0 ppg
2. Convert pressure in psi unit into equivalent mud weight in ppg by using meters as the unit of measurement
Equivalent Mud Weight in ppg = Pressure in psi ÷ 0.052 ÷ True Vertical Depth (TVD) in meters ÷ 3.281
Example: pressure = 5000 Кучета
True Vertical Depth = 2500 meters
Еквивалентни Кал Тегло, ppg = 5000 psi ÷ 0.052 ÷ 2500 m ÷ 3.281
Еквивалентни Кал Тегло, ppg = 11.7 ppg
Please find the Excel sheet for converting pressure into equivalent mud weight.
