MARSH FUNNEL WITH MEASURING CUP AZA0811
The AZA0811 Marsh Funnel with Measuring Cup is a simple, reliable device used to determine the viscosity of drilling muds, bentonite slurries, cement slurries, and similar suspensions in both field and laboratory environments. It provides a fast and practical method to assess flow characteristics critical to drilling operations, soil stabilization, grouting, and geotechnical engineering.
The instrument includes a conical Marsh Funnel—manufactured from high-impact polypropylene or optional stainless steel—and a 1-liter graduated measuring cup. During the test, the time taken for 946 mL (1 US quart) of slurry to flow through the funnel orifice is recorded in seconds. This value serves as an index of slurry viscosity and is widely accepted in compliance with API RP 13B-1 and ASTM D6910 standards.
MARSHALL STABILITY TEST APPARATUS AZA0953
The AZA0953 Marshall Stability Test Apparatus from AZALAB is a fundamental and widely adopted instrument in civil engineering and highway material laboratories for evaluating the performance characteristics of compacted bituminous mixtures.
