Product catalog summary
Summary: The RPMB-31 Pressurized Mud Balance is designed to measure the density of drilling and other fluids by releasing or compressing gas within the fluids, ensuring accurate density measurements. It is widely used in oil fields, geological exploration, and laboratories.
Model and Specifications: The model is RPMB-31. Key technical parameters include a measurement range of 0.9-3.1g/cm3 (7.5-26lb/gal), a precision of 0.01g/cm3, and a cup volume of 210cm3. The external dimensions are 550×80×150 mm.
Structure and Working Principle: The instrument's structure includes components like a compressed cap, one-way valve, and balance ruler. It operates on a multiplying lever principle, with a horizontal bubble kit ensuring the lever is balanced for accurate readings.
Operation Instructions: The instrument should be placed on a horizontal surface. The fluid is poured into the cup, and excess is expelled through a one-way valve. The balance ruler is adjusted until it is horizontal, and the fluid density is read from the ruler.
Maintenance: Operators should be familiar with the instrument's operation and handle it carefully to avoid damage. After use, it should be cleaned and stored properly. Regular inspection and replacement of "O" rings are recommended.
Transportation and Storage: The instrument should be stored in a ventilated area free from corrosive impurities, following JB/T9329-1999 standards.
Fault Diagnosis and Resolution: Common issues include liquid leakage due to damaged "O" rings, which should be replaced. Sensitivity issues with the horizontal bubble may require component repair or replacement.
Accessories and Components: The manual lists necessary accessories, tools, and major components, including various "O" rings and a sealing sheet.

RIGCHINA® 1. Summary This product is mainly used to measure the density of drilling fluids and other fluids. Compare with the RCMB model balance, this instrument can make the gas present in fluids released or compressed by virtue of exerting a pressure to the fluids and minimize the influence the natural gas or the air mixed in fluids to the density measurement of drilling fluids, so that the true density of fluids can be measured. The instrument is characterized by the stable measuring data and high precision. It has been widely applied in the oil fields, geological exploration and laboratories...

RIGCHINA® (5) Aim the knife edge at the fulcrum and place the knife edge on supporting base. (6) Move the rider nearby the knife edge and then move it slowly towards the right until the balance ruler maintain the horizontal balanced location. (7) The carved line corresponding to the left sideline of the rider is the density value of the fluid tested. (8) Loosen the compressed cap, remove the cup lid and discharge the drilling fluid. Wash the cup and cup lid and smear the waterproof lubricating oil on the one-way valve. Unless calibrating the instrument again, do not open the plug on balanced...
