PARTICLE SIZE ANALYSIS OF DRILLING FLUID

It was easy to perform these measurements and achieve the desired COV values using either the LA-950 or LA-300. The two systems gave slightly different results for the same sample. This is not uncommon in the field of particle characterization. Two different models systems will not typically generate the exact same results. The LA-950 is a newer design and is more automated. The LA-950 is the instrument of choice in the laboratory setting when the broadest possible size range and

capability is required. The LA-300 is a smaller, more portable system, making it the ideal system when these measurements are made in the field. HORIBA Instruments delivers the advanced measurement technologies and world wide expertise and support required by the drilling fluids and exploration industries.
