FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q1: What does a mud balance measure?
It measures the specific gravity/density of drilling muds, slurries, and semi-liquid materials.

Q2: What materials can it test?
Suitable for drilling fluids, bentonite slurries, cement mixtures, and other suspensions with densities from 0.8 to 2.7 g/cm³.

Q3: Is the AZA0814 calibrated?
Yes, it is factory-calibrated for direct reading. Routine checks can be done using distilled water.

Q4: Can it be used in the field?
Absolutely. It is supplied in a sturdy wooden box for protection and portability.

Q5: How does it ensure accuracy?
The knife-edge fulcrum, graduated beam, sliding counterweight, and built-in leveling system ensure highly accurate readings.
