ISO 10414-1:2001, Petroleum and natural gas industries -- Field testing of drilling fluids -- Part 1: Water-based fluids

This part of ISO 10414 provides standard procedures for the determining following characteristics of water-based drilling fluids:drilling fluid density (mud weight); viscosity and gel strength; filtration; water, oil and solids contents; sand content; methylene blue capacity; pH; alkalinity and lime content; chloride content; total hardness as calcium. Annexes A, B, C and E provide additional test methods which may be used forchemical analysis for calcium, magnesium, calcium sulfate, sulfide, carbonate, potassium; determination of shear strength; determination of resistivity; drill pipe corrosion monitoring.
