Product Overview
HPHT Cement Consistometer for Thickening-Time Testing
The OMNI 4310 evaluates the thickening behavior of oilwell cement slurries under controlled high-pressure, high-temperature conditions up to 30,000 psi and 260 °C (500 °F). A magnetically driven slurry cup rotates at a nominal 150 rpm against a fixed paddle, and paddle torque is converted to slurry consistency in Bearden units (Bc).
A Siemens PLC with a 12-inch industrial touchscreen handles test setup and monitoring, while PC software provides programmable test schedules, data acquisition, storage, and reporting.
Key Features
- Siemens PLC control with 12-inch industrial touchscreen.
- PC software for test data acquisition, storage, and reporting.
- Up to 10 programmable segments for ramp-and-hold test schedules.
- Magnetic cup drive at 150 ± 15 rpm.
- Automatic pressure-control damping for stable test pressure.
- High-pressure five-port manifold with filter.
- Internal oil tank and vessel cooling for faster turnaround between tests.
- Automatic protection on high consistency, over-temperature, and over-pressure.
- Caster-mounted cabinet for easier positioning in the lab.
Applications
- Cement thickening-time testing at simulated downhole conditions
- Retarder, accelerator, and additive development
- Well-cementing job design and pre-job QC
- Oilfield service, operator, and university petroleum labs
