Mechanical Gel Strength Test Analyzer
MGSTA, Model: TG-5266
TG-5266 Mechanical Gel Strength Test Analyzer(MGSTA) is designed to measure the gel development and gel strength of cement slurry samples cured at a simulated down-hole temperature and pressure, meanwhile, also can be used to test the thickening time. TG-5266 MGSTA uses the rotating paddle and a stationary cylindrical slurry cup assembly to condition the cement slurry, by directly measuring the forces required to initiate movement in the slurry, provides the accurate method to determine the static gel strength of cement slurry. TG-5266 MGSTA is equipped with a device for post-test cooling of the instrument. This is an external-cooling jacket attached to the pressure vessel. After completion of the test, cooling water may be circulated through this cooling jacket to cool the pressure vessel.
TG-5266 MGSTA is equipped with state-of-art temperature control and data acquisition system that provides unparalleled ease of use for the operator.
TG-5266 MGSTA has a compact structure: the pressure vessel features its shockproof case-type structure that has undergone years of verification in practice, equipped with a PCB, an industrial microprocessor with superior reliability, special-purpose hardening software, and computer data acquisition system is installed with TG-5270-dedicated application software.
Operation
Prepare the cement slurry to be tested according to the method suggested by API, and then pour it into the pressure vessel, where the underground curing environment can be simulated through temperature and pressure control. The temperature is controlled by means of a temperature controller; pressure is controlled manually by means of a high-pressure air pump and a pressure release valve. If you want the pressure to be controlled more accurately, an optional precision pressure control console is available to control the system pressure. The computer is installed with TG-5270 data acquisition and control software. The data points measured will be recorded on the hardware consecutively. The pressure, temperature, gel strength & gel value measured of experimental parameters versus time parameter can be always displayed on the computer screen during a test. The hard copies of curve charts can be printed out as required.
