Curing Chamber

Curing Chamber

The Curing Chamber is utilized to prepare well cement specimens for compressive strength tests. It is necessary to determine the amount of time required for a cement to develop compressive strength so that drilling/production operations can be resumed as quickly as possible. The goal is to design a slurry that can quickly develop compressive strength so that the waiting on cement time may be minimized. The Curing Chambers provide a means of curing cement specimens under typical down-hole temperatures and pressures.

Features of Curing Chamber

• Unit may be utilized to test well cements in accordance to API Specification 10
• Electronic timer measures elapsed time and may be programmed to terminate test for safety a pressure relief valve as well as a safety head with rupture disk are provided
• Digital programmable temperature controller
• Digitally displays temperatures
• Coolant system quickly cools the test cell
• Dual compression molds meet ASTM standard
