Equivalent Circulating Density

Equivalent Circulating Density is a hydraulic performance metric in wellbore hydraulics that represents the effective fluid density accounting for both hydrostatic pressure and annular frictional pressure losses during circulation, thereby distinguishing it from static mud weight by incorporating dynamic pressure contributions in drilling operations.
