Summary
Mud water test technicians measure and evaluate the physical and chemical properties of mud water (drilling fluid), providing data necessary for formulation management and quality assurance.
Description
Mud water test technicians are responsible for quality control of mud water used in construction, geotechnical investigations, oil drilling, etc. They operate test equipment such as viscometers, densitometers, and pH meters, perform sample pretreatment and measurements, and support formulation adjustments to meet standards. Measurement data is accurately recorded and analyzed, and in case of abnormal values, they report to technical staff or field workers and propose improvements. Handling of chemical agents and safety and health management are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
With the growing demand for quality control in construction and drilling fields, the demand for specialized mud water test technicians is expected to remain stable. Due to stricter environmental regulations, personnel with advanced analytical skills will be more highly valued.
