This standard specifies the evaluation procedures for the viscosity reducing ability of water-based drilling fluids in weighted and non-weighted drilling fluids in fresh water, salt water, saturated brine. This standard is applicable to the evaluation of the viscosity reducing ability of viscosity reducing agents for water-based drilling fluids such as lignin, humic acid, tannins, and gums.
