Introduction

What Is a Thermo Cup for Mud Testing?
Key Features of the Thermo Cup for Mud Testing
1. Heavy-Duty Stainless-Steel Construction
The Thermo Cup for Mud Testing is manufactured using high-grade corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This construction ensures long service life, even under harsh oilfield and laboratory conditions where exposure to aggressive drilling fluids is common.
2. Efficient and Uniform Heating Element
Its advanced heating system delivers even temperature distribution throughout the mud sample. This prevents hot spots and ensures uniform thermal conditioning, which is essential for precise drilling fluid testing.
3. Adjustable Temperature Control
The built-in temperature control knob allows users to easily set and maintain the desired temperature range. This flexibility supports a wide variety of mud testing procedures and fluid compositions.
4. Insulated Body Design
The insulated outer body minimizes heat loss while protecting users from accidental burns. This design enables prolonged testing cycles without temperature drift, improving overall laboratory efficiency.
5. Compact and Portable Design
Despite its rugged construction, the Thermo Cup remains lightweight and portable. This makes it ideal for both centralized mud laboratories and on-site rig operations where space and mobility matter.
