Enter the chart with the ratios R 11 /R mc and R 2 /R mc. The point
of intersection defines the R xo /R mc ratio and the mudcake thickness, h mc. Knowing R mc , R xo can be calculated.
For hole sizes other than 8 in. [203 mm], multiply R 11 /R mc
by the following factors before entering the chart: 1.15 for
434-in. [120-mm] hole, 1.05 for 6-in. [152-mm] hole, and 0.93
for 10-in. [254-mm] hole.
Note: An incorrect R mc will displace the points in the chart
along a 45 line. In certain cases this can be recognized when

the mudcake thickness is different from direct measurement

by the microcaliper. To correct, move the plotted point at 45
to intersect the known h mc. For this new point, read R xo /R mc
from the chart and R 2 /R mc from the bottom scale of the chart.

R xo = R 2 xo
