Volumetric Mud on Cuttings Analysis

Mini MCR Kit

The Mini MCR test measures the weight of a mud cell empty, filled with sample, and topped up with fluid. This allows calculations to determine the exact volume fraction of mud retained on cuttings discard.

How to use:

  1. Select mud type (OBM vs WBM) to auto-fill fluid specific gravity.
  2. Weigh the empty cell and input as W1.
  3. Fill the cell with wet cuttings discard and record W2.
  4. Top up the remaining cell volume with fluid and record topped up weight as W3.
  5. Click Calculate to see the Mud on Cuttings ratio.

This method is highly robust and avoids typical volumetric readout errors caused by irregular solids geometries.
