Maximum recommended low-gravity solids
Input(s)
SF: Maximum Recommended Solids Fractions (% by vol)
MW: Mud Weight (ppg)
Output(s)
LGS: Maximum Recommended Lgs (% by vol)
Formula(s)
\[
\operatorname{LGS}=\left(\left(\frac{\mathrm{SF}}{100}\right)-\left(0.3125 *\left(\left(\frac{\mathrm{MW}}{8.33}\right)-1\right)\right)\right) * 200
\]
