Sand Content Kit

Product Code : MSI 1032

The Sand Content Kit is a precision testing instrument designed to determine the volume percentage of sand-sized particles in drilling fluids. Manufactured in accordance with ASTM D4381, the kit provides a quick and reliable method for measuring solids larger than 74 μm (200-mesh), helping maintain drilling fluid quality and optimize drilling performance.

The test is suitable for both low-solids drilling fluids and weighted drilling muds, making it an essential quality control tool for oil & gas, geotechnical, mining, and civil engineering applications.

Working Principle

The Sand Content Kit determines the volume percentage of sand-sized particles present in drilling fluid. The sample is passed through a 200-mesh (74 μm) sieve, which retains coarse particles while finer solids pass through. The retained material is transferred to the graduated glass tube, where the sand content is measured directly as a percentage by volume. This simple and standardized procedure helps monitor drilling fluid performance and prevent equipment wear caused by excessive sand contamination.
