mud weightThe weight of the drilling fluid measured against the weight of water used to determine the solids content of the fluid or slurry. Excess solids can adversely affect the efficiency of the drilling system and cause excessive wear on pumps. Mud weight calculations can also be used to measure the effectiveness of recycling solids control equipment.
