Static Gel Strength MACS II

The Multiple Analysis Cement System ( MACS II® ) instrument performs static gel strength tests on cement slurry samples. The MACS II instrument conducts these tests under simulated down-hole pressure and temperature conditions to determine the Zero Gel Time/ Transition Time ( SGS/ Time) of cement: The MACS II instrument accepts a sample of cement slurry and applies a controlled set of temperature, agitation, and pressure parameters that simulate the down-hole conditions of a well. During testing, it monitors, controls, and records these parameters to form a data set. This data can then be analyzed to assist in predicting the performance of cement slurry in a well. If a situation exists that a well presents particular problems or special conditions of temperature and/ or pressure, the MACS II instrument can assist to minimize possible problems by providing a safe and controlled environment in which to test different cement slurries for the drilling process. Maximum Temperature for the MACS II analyzer is 600Ú F Maximum Pressure for the MACS II analyzer is 30, 000 psig FEATURES: Capabilities - 600° F temperature and 30, 000 psig. Pressurizes with water. Slurry cup has an isolation volume chamber in the top to reduce risk of contamination. Uses a conventional-style slurry cup Three heater bands. Good heat control. Variable speed rotation which allows for more meaningful testing of muds, thixotropic slurries, and gels with long delay times. No time limit on the test duration. Time is dictated by set time of the cement. Plumbing allows for chilled water circulation for low-temp testing Magnetic-Drive system mounted to the top out of the path of routine operations. Drive system is completely isolated from the test chamber. Not required to remove/ replace the measurement system for each test. Slurry cup volume is same as that for a HTHP Consistometer. Completely computer controlled. Fully automated start-up, conditioning, gel strength testing, and shut-down. https: / / www.youtube.com/ watch? v= fH4mkHMKRdI& feature= youtu.be
