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.

JOLTING APPARATUS AZA0802
The AZA0802 Jolting Apparatus is a precision-engineered laboratory instrument designed for uniform compaction of cement mortar specimens, ensuring reproducibility and accuracy in strength testing. It plays a vital role in preparing mortar prisms for compressive and flexural strength tests, eliminating air voids and ensuring homogeneous density throughout each specimen.
Manufactured in accordance with IS 10080:1982, and suitable for use under EN 196-1 and ASTM C348 testing standards, the AZA0802 is essential for any laboratory involved in cement quality evaluation, research, or certification.
Whether used in construction QC labs, cement manufacturing units, academic institutions, or R&D centers, the AZA0802 offers dependable, consistent, and safe compaction performance for standardized mortar testing.
Why Compaction Matters in Mortar Testing
The quality and reliability of mortar strength tests depend heavily on the degree of compaction during specimen preparation. Air voids, improper leveling, or inconsistent compaction can lead to inaccurate test values and unreliable performance assessments.
The AZA0802 utilizes a mechanical cam-driven system delivering 60 precise jolts per minute, effectively removing entrapped air from the mortar mix. An inbuilt 60-second automatic timer ensures standard-compliant compaction by stopping the machine after the required number of jolts.
This ensures:
-
Highly consistent mortar density
-
Repeatable strength results
-
Compliance with national and international testing standards
