Mud flow return line
Drilling mud pipe flow measurement
Drilling mud pipe flow measurement
Process data
Measuring task:
Measurement of the flow rate
Measuring point:
Pipeline
Measuring range up to:
0.40 m
Medium:
Mud (drilling mud)
Process temperature:
0 … +90 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges:
Strong abrasion
Application
The drilling mud flowing back from the drilling contains large amounts of solids. To avoid clogging in these pipes and the associated damage to the drill head and loss of production, a reliable monitoring of the entire mud return system is essential.
