- Balances
- Weighing mud additives and cement blends, from bulk charges down to analytical accuracy.
- Baths
- Temperature controlled baths that hold a sample at test temperature before the measurement and during it.
- Blenders and Mixers
- High shear mixing that prepares a mud or a slurry to a repeatable mixing energy.
- Centrifuges
- Separating solids and emulsified water from a sample for solids analysis.
- Filter Paper
- Hardened papers cut to the API filter press; the filtrate volume depends on using the right grade.
- Fluoroscopes
- Ultraviolet cabinets for reading fluorescence in a sample, used in oil in mud and contamination checks.
- Sieves
- Graded mesh for the particle size analysis of barite, bentonite and drilled solids.
- Sieve Shaker
- Mechanical shaking that makes a sieve analysis repeatable between operators.
- Temperature Controllers
- Controllers and thermostats that hold ovens, baths and cells at a set test temperature.
- Thermometers
- Glass, dial and digital thermometers across the ranges the API procedures call for.
- Miscellaneous Supplies
- Cups, cylinders, syringes, cleaning solvents and the consumables a test bench runs through.
