IADC ROUNDING RULES:

 When calculating Kill Mud Weight, ROUND UP to one decimal place (for example: round up 10.73 ppg to 10.8 ppg; round up 11.03 ppg to 11.1 ppg).
 When calculating Leak Off Test Equivalent Mud Weight, ROUND DOWN to one decimal place (for example: round down 11.76 ppg; to 11.7 ppg;
Round down 13.89 ppg to 13.8 ppg). In other words, take it to only one decimal place with no rounding.
 When calculating Pressure Reduction Schedule, ROUND DOWN to a whole number (for example: round down 21.6 psi/100 stks to 21 psi/100 stks).
 If the Kill Mud Weight or Leak Off values are to be used in subsequent calculations, use the rounded value in the future calculation. Do not use the
unrounded calculated value.
