Absolute Volume

Question 1

Absolute Density:

Answer 1

Mass per unit volume. (Without air)

Question 2

Absolute Volume

Answer 2

The volume per unit mass.

The reciprocal of absolute density expressed as volume per unit mass. (No air)

Question 3

Bulk Density

Answer 3

The weight per unit volume of a dry material containing entrained air

Question 4

Bulk Volume

Answer 4

The volume per unit mass of a dry material plus the volume of the air between its particles. Changes with amount of air and size of particles

Question 5

Base Fluid

Answer 5

The fluid that will be used to mix with the cement and additives Fresh Water, Sea Water, Brackish Water, or Brine

Question 6

Mix Water

Answer 6

Base fluid plus any salt (D044, S001 or M117) added “wet” AND in a concentration expressed in %BWOW.

Question 7

Mix Fluid

Answer 7

Sum of the base fluid, all liquid additives and any solid additives added “wet.”

Question 8

Slurry Yield

Answer 8

The volume of slurry obtained when one sack of cement is mixed with the desired amount of water and other additives

Question 9

If water/solids ratio is not correct, the slurry may have

Answer 9

• High viscosity (un-pumpable slurry)
• Excessive free fluid (severe settling)

Question 10

Lower Density

Answer 10

More Water & Extender Add lighweight material

Question 11

Higher density

Answer 11

Less Water & Dispersant Heavyweight Material

Question 12

What component of a slurry if change the ratio, cause the major effect

Answer 12

Changing the water/cement ratio has the most dramatic effect
