Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003789

The shear stress required to initiate flow in a drilling fluid after it has remained static for ten minutes. This measurement indicates the fluid's ability to suspend cuttings when circulation is stopped for an extended period. It is typically measured in pounds per 100 square feet (lb/100 ft2) using a viscometer.
