Concentration for cement or spacer additives. There are only 2 kinds of additives: liquid or solid.

  • Cement additives:
  • For liquid, there are 2 units: (gps), (gphs)
  • (gps) – gallon per sack of cement
  • (gphs) – gallon per hundred sacks of cement
  • For solid, there are 4 units: (% bwoc), (lb/sk), (lb/gal), (% bwow)
  • (% bwoc) – weight percent (by the weight of cement)
  • (lb/sk) – pound per sack of cement
  • (lb/gal) – pound per gallon of water in the mixture, not the cement slurry
  • (% bwow) – weight percent (by the weight of water)
  • Spacer additives:
  • For liquid, there is 1 unit: (gpb) – gallon per barrel
  • For solid, there is 1 unit: (ppb) – pound per barrel
