M20-400

OPERATION

Operation of the pressurized consistometer is simple with all of the operational controls conveniently located on the front panel. The readout indictors for the viscosity, pressure, and temperature, as well as operational instructions, are easily read from the 12-inch color touch-screen. The consistometer is designed so that closure, heating, and pressurization can be achieved quickly. This ensures compliance with the requirement of ISO and API schedules. The temperature control system will automatically control the rate of temperature rise of the slurry (i.e. temperature gradient). When the slurry reaches the desired maximum temperature, the system will hold the slurry temperature at that level. The temperature and viscosity of the slurry, and current pressure are displayed constantly on the touch-screen numerically and graphically. Contains easy spin-on/off automotive style mineral oil filter and 100 micron high pressure filter to remove sediment and other contaminants from mineral oil.
