The Model 80 Recording Atmospheric Consistometer is utilized to pre-condition cement slurries in accordance with API Specification 10. Determination of rheological properties, examination of free water content, and evaluation of the API fluid loss test all require that the cement slurry be conditioned by an atmospheric consistometer.
Features
-
- Three-channel strip chart recorder measures temperature and consistency of each container
- Temperature is maintained via a PID controller, to increase accuracy and reproducibility
- Unit is operated at atmospheric pressure
- Process temperature is displayed digitally, for easy reading
- Heat transfer fluid (oil) is continuously circulated, ensuring a consistent temperature is maintained
- Slurry container rotational speed is 150 RPM to meet API specifications
- Dual container design so that two slurries can be conditioned at one time
- Cooling system included to allow cooling the slurry below room temperature
- Stainless steel temperature bath resists corrosion, ensuring long life
- Dead-weight calibration unit helps keeps the unit in calibration, ensuring consistent performance
