SAND CONTENT KIT AZA0812
The AZA0812 Sand Content Kit is a precision testing system designed to determine the percentage by volume of sand-sized solids (≥74 microns / 200 mesh) in drilling fluids. Excess sand in drilling mud leads to abrasive wear of pump components, drill strings, and bits, as well as potential formation damage. Ensuring correct sand content is essential for efficient drilling operations and maintaining fluid quality.
This kit fully complies with ASTM D4381 and API Recommended Practices, making it suitable for oilfield operations, geotechnical projects, piling works, diaphragm wall construction, and laboratory quality control.
The set includes all standard components: a graduated sand content measuring tube, wide-mouth funnel, 200-mesh stainless steel sieve in a cylindrical holder, and a wash bottle for flushing the drilling fluid. For durability and convenience, all components are housed in a compact hard carrying case, making the kit highly portable for field testing.

APPARATUS FOR REACTIVITY OF QUICKLIME AZA0809
The AZA0809 Quicklime Reactivity Apparatus is a precision laboratory instrument engineered to measure the thermal reactivity of quicklime (CaO) when it reacts with water—a process known as slaking. This exothermic reaction produces heat, and by recording the temperature rise over time, the apparatus helps determine the quality, fineness, and reactivity rate of quicklime.
Widely used in lime processing plants, cement industries, construction materials testing labs, and research institutions, this apparatus ensures accurate evaluation of quicklime performance for applications in soil stabilization, water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and cement additives.
The apparatus fully complies with IS 1514:1990 – Methods of Sampling and Test for Quicklime and Hydrated Lime and ASTM C110 – Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone.
