Cement Calculations
Volume of open hole below the casing shoe is
not calculated.
Cement circulates out of the shoe and up the
annulus.
Any cement displacing the mud below by gravity
is considered negligible.

Yield varies with density Basically, when you change the density you alter the
Normally ........
as you increase the water content the yield increases

Solid Additives Calculated as a % by weight of dry cement. Except: Salt Small amounts will not effect calculation
Liquid Additives Calculated as gallons of additives per sack of bulk cement Subtract total amount of liquid additives from amount of mix fluid to have real amount of mix water.
