SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Section 2 – Operating Instructions Sample Preparation for Wettability Test 1. Prepare a mud sample according to instructions from the supplier. Laboratory-prepared mud samples may require additional preparation such as static aging or hot rolling to more fully simulate field mud properties.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Mixing a Cement Slurry 1. Measure the amount of water and pour into the mixer cup. Place the cover on the mixer cup. 2. Using a scale, measure the amount of cement. 3. Set the Timer Switch to the AUTO position. 4.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Section 3 – Maintenance Tools Required 7/8” socket 3/8” wrench Cleaning and Service Tips Most of the problems that occur with the Model 3065 Wettability Tester are due to inadequate cleaning. The blade assembly, mixing cup, and probe leads must be thoroughly cleaned after each test.
