Atmospheric Cement Consistometer

Atmospheric Cement Consistometer

The Atmospheric Consistometer is used for conditioning cement slurries as specified within API Specification 10. Determination of rheological properties, examination of free water content, and valuation of the API fluid loss test all require that the cement slurry be pre-conditioned by an Atmospheric Consistometer.

Features of Atmospheric Cement Consistometer

• 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 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
