MUD BALANCE AZA0814

The AZA0814 Mud Balance from azalab is a durable and highly accurate density-testing instrument designed for determining the specific gravity of drilling muds, cement slurries, bentonite fluids, and various semi-liquid suspensions. With a wide measuring range of 0.8 to 2.7 g/cm³, this instrument is an essential tool in drilling operations, geotechnical investigations, and material testing laboratories.

The device features a stainless steel calibrated beam, clearly graduated for direct density readings, along with a stainless steel sample cup equipped with a precision-fit lid and overflow vent to ensure exact volume filling. The beam rests on a knife-edge fulcrum, supported by a rigid stand with a built-in spirit level and adjustable leveling screws to guarantee precise balancing during measurements.aza

A sliding counterweight provides fine adjustment and stable equilibrium, ensuring repeatable and laboratory-grade accuracy. The entire set is supplied in a durable wooden carrying case, making it ideal for both laboratory and harsh field conditions.

SAND CONTENT KIT AZA0812

Cement

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.

ASTM D4381 compliant for sand content testing in drilling fluids
Determines % volume of sand-sized particles ≥74 µm (200 mesh)
Suitable for low-solid and weighted mud systems
Includes 200-mesh sieve, funnel, graduated glass tube
Comes with wash bottle and rugged carrying case
Compact, durable, ideal for field and laboratory use
