The settling velocity of particles falling through a fracturing fluid determines, in part, the final distribution of propping agent in a fracture. In this study, two different experimental models have been used to obtain particle settling data. One model consists of a parallel plate apparatus in which the shear on the fluid is provided by a moving belt and the other consists of a concentric cylinder device. Data from each device are reported. Initial results from each method have been found to be comparable. A comparison of the experimental settling velocities with settling velocities calculated by Stokes' Law are also presented. 17 refs.
