Mud Balance Model 140
The Fann Model 140 Mud Balance provides a simple, practical method for accurate determination of fluid density. It is one of the most sensitive and accurate field instruments available for determining the density or weight-per-unit-volume (specific gravity) of drilling fluids. An outstanding advantage of this Mud Balance is that the temperature of the sample does not materially affect the accuracy of readings. A high impact plastic case protects the balance during transport and provides a secure base in its working position. The Fann Model 140 Mud Balance is constructed with an easy-to-read beam graduated into four scales: pounds per gallon, specific gravity, pounds per cubic foot, and pounds per square inch per 1,000 feet of depth. The volume of space occupied by entrapped gas or air bubbles in a sample fluid may distort the accuracy of the fluid density measurement. This distortion can be significantly reduced by pressurizing the fluid. The density of a fluid containing entrained air or gas can be determined more accurately by using a pressurized fluid density balance.

Mud Balance TruWate Model 141
The TRU-WATE Model 141 Mud Balance is an instrument for measuring the absolute density of a fluid sample. With the TRU-WATE Balance, the density of a fluid sample, such as cement slurry, can be measured in a fixed volume sample under pressure. By pressurizing the sample cup the entrained air or gas can be decreased to a negligible volume, thus providing a slurry density measurement more closely in agreement with the true density which will be realized under down-hole conditions. Fann density balances are constructed of premium metals for durability, accuracy and ease of use. A high impact plastic case protects the balance during transport and provides a secure base in its working position.
