Q

What is the weight of barite in P-tank #4 of the DEEP DRILLER if the ullage is 3.4 feet?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Using the ullage (empty space) to determine the liquid depth in a tank • Reading the correct value from the P-tank #4 calibration/capacity table on the DEEP DRILLER data sheets • Converting volume of barite in the tank to weight in long tons using the material’s density/specific gravity

💭 Think About

• How do you convert a given ullage (3.4 ft) into the actual product height in the tank if you know the tank’s total depth? • Once you know the product height, where on the DEEP DRILLER‘s P-tank #4 table would you look to find the corresponding volume or weight of barite? • Do you need to do any unit conversions (for example, from pounds to long tons) after using the table, and if so, what factor would you use?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify you are using the correct tank table for P-tank #4 on the DEEP DRILLER, not another P-tank or a mud tank • Check that you correctly converted ullage to sounding (product depth) before going to the table • Make sure any final weight is in long tons (2,240 lb) and not short tons or pounds before comparing with the answer choices
