API 14A slurry test - viscosifier to be used
API 14A slurry test - viscosifier to be used
(OP)
Dear all
I'm going to perform slurry test on a 18" ball valve and I need to knw how to increase the viscosity of the slurry fluid that I've prepared (water + 2% of sand 150 microm grain size): API14 calls for a 'viscosifier' to be added to water in order to achive a value of viscosity of 70 (Marsh funnel time).
Does anyone know how to do it or what I could use as viscosifier?
thanks in advance
Massimo

My first thought would be a drilling mud or fracturing fluid.
