Mud to Cuttings Ratio

About MCR

The Mud to Cuttings Ratio (MCR) quantifies the volume of drilling fluid lost when drill cuttings are discarded by solids control equipment (SCE).

How to use:

  1. Select your preferred Unit System (US vs Metric).
  2. Input the measured Cuttings Weight from the shakers.
  3. Input the active Mud Weight from your system.
  4. Click Calculate MCR to obtain the volumetric ratio.

Note: Standard MCR assumes typical specific gravity settings. For custom sizes or topped-up analysis, please use the Mini-MCR tool.
