An example method for determining fluid flow in an open channel fluid conduit may include coupling a sensor assembly to an exterior surface of the open channel fluid conduit. Measurements may be received from the sensor assembly. The method may further include calculating a flow rate of a fluid within the open channel fluid conduit based, at least in part, on the received measurement.

Drilling fluid flow measurement in an open channel fluid conduit

An apparatus includes a first cable clamp and a first apparatus section coupled to the first cable clamp. The apparatus includes a second cable clamp and a second apparatus section coupled to the second cable clamp. The second apparatus section is slidably coupled to the second apparatus section. The apparatus includes a first measuring device portion coupled to the first apparatus section, a second measuring device portion coupled to the second apparatus section, wherein the first measuring device portion and the second measuring device portion are in at least one of mechanical, optical, and electromagnetic communication.

Measuring hookload

A method and system for improving cuttings measurements in drilling operations includes rotating a helical screw in a trough at a first speed, measuring a first weight of a cuttings mixture within the trough, measuring a first torque required to maintain rotation of the helical screw at the first speed through the cuttings mixture, and calculating a difference between the first torque and a second torque required to maintain rotation of the helical screw at the first speed through a second weight of natural cuttings equal to the first weight.
