Pressure Step Down Chart

Strokes to bit D.P. psi
1) Calculate I.C.P.
0 ICP ∆P x 100
2) Calculate F.C.P.
psi /
100 stks
3) Calculate Stepdown

4) In the left hand column record strokes

in 100 Stroke intervals, until final
circulating pressure is reached.

5) Record I.C.P. in top right column, and

deduct pressure ∆P until F.C.P. is reached.

6) Calculate complete circulation, in strokes

and time.
