Brine Density with Temperature Correction
Temperature has an effect on brine density and requires the brine weight at surface to be mixed higher than required. This calculation determines surface brine weight needed for the temperature correction
The formula used is: $$ \text{Density} = \text{Required Density} + \left(\left(\frac{\text{Surf Temp} + \text{Bottom Temp}}{2} - \text{Surf Temp}\right) \times \text{WLF}\right) $$ The Weight Loss Factor depends on brine weight
