Product Information

Marsh Funnel Viscometer

Description
Fann No. 201 Marsh Funnel Viscometer is a
simple device for indicating viscosity on a
routine basis. When used with a measuring
cup, the funnel gives an empirical value for
the consistency of a fluid. This number (time in
seconds) depends on (1) the effective viscosity
at the rate of shear prevailing in the orifice,
and (2) the rate of gelation.
Funnel viscosity is the ratio of the speed of
the sample as it passes through the outlet No. 201 Marsh Funnel and No. 202 Measuring Cup
tube (shear rate) to the amount of force (fluid
weight) that is causing the fluid to flow (shear
stress).

Marsh Funnel viscosity is reported as the


seconds required for one quart of fluid to flow
from a full Marsh Funnel.

Application
Marsh Funnel readings are qualitative measurements.
Frequent reporting of Marsh Funnel viscosity will show
changes in fluid viscosity that could require corrective
action.

Mud engineers depend on the Marsh Funnel to check


the quality of drilling mud.

Features and Benefits


• Quick, on-the-spot measurements for
periodically reporting mud consistency
The Marsh Funnel is precision-made to outflow
• Simple, low-maintenance one quart of water at 70 ± 5oF in 26 ± 0.5 seconds.

• Transports easily for use in the lab, field, or on


drilling rig

• Rugged, break-resistant plastic that holds shape


with temperature changes
Calibration Instructions
Marsh Funnel calibration is easily checked by measuring the viscosity of fresh water. The
funnel is dimensioned so that the outflow of one quart (946 ml) of fresh water at 70 ± 5°F
(21 ± 3°C) is 26 ± 0.5 seconds.
If the funnel is out of calibration, clean it again using a pipe cleaner, making sure that
nothing is blocking the outlet.
If the funnel continues to give an incorrect reading for fresh water after cleaning, then
replace the funnel.

Ordering Information
In addition to the Marsh Funnel, this viscosity procedure requires a graduated container
to receive the fluid as it flows from the funnel, a device to measure elapsed time, and a
thermometer for measuring sample temperature.
