Two programs written for use on the two most popular programmable calculators solve routine volume and fill problems using data available on the drill floor. And while those familiar books of cementing tables should be kept for special jobs, the programs given here provide quick solutions to everyday cementing problems. Programs are presented for the solution of annular volume and pipe and hole capacity problems using the TI-59 or any of the Hewlett-Packard programmable calculators. The TI program was written for use with the PC-100C printer to prompt for input data and label output. A procedure is presented to modify this for hand-held operation using storage register numbers for prompts and to recall output information from storage registers. The program using the printer is discussed first.
