Solid content ratio of drilling mud

Input(s)

$V_{m}$: Volume of Drilling Mud (cc)

$f_{s c}$: Solid Content Ratio of Filter Cake (ratio)

$h_{m c}$: Filter Cake Thickness $(\mathrm{cm})$

A: Filter Cake Area $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{2}\right)$

Output(s)

$f_{s m}$: Solid Content Ratio of Drilling Mud (ratio)

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{sm}}=\frac{\mathrm{f}_{\mathrm{sc}} \cdot \mathrm{h}_{\mathrm{mc}} \cdot \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}} $$
