M200
Atmospheric Consistometer
Model #: M200
Description
CTE model 200 atmospheric pressure consistometer is specifically designed to prepare cement slurries for the testing of various parameters in strict compliance with API Spec 10 and ISO 10426. Maximum operating temperature of 250F (121C). The testing of cement slurries requires the measurement of thickening time, free water content, viscosity, rheological properties, fluid loss and various other properties. The model 200 provides a simple method for conditioning the cement slurries in preparation for performing these tests. API Spec 10 outlines the requirements and provides the basis for the design and operation of atmospheric consistometers.
Downloadables
Cement slurries are initially mixed with a model 7000 constant speed mixer then placed into the model 200 consistometer in preparation for the following tests as per API and ISO requirements:
✔ THICKENING TIME
✔ WATER CONTENT OF SLURRY
✔ DETERMINATION OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
✔ FLUID LOSS TEST
✔ Specific tests can be run according to individual requirements.
The Model 200 consistometers are used in laboratories performing cement research, including cement additives, quality assurance, and in other various slurry conditioning requirements.
OPERATION
The operation and calibration of Model 200 is simple and easy to learn. The cement slurry is prepared in accordance with Section 5 of API Spec 10, and then quickly poured into either of two available slurry containers in the unit. The stirring paddle is inserted and the lid placed on the container. The container is then placed into the temperature controlled water or oil bath and stirring is started. The maximum operating temperature is 250F (121C). The unit is designed so the stirring operation can begin within one minute or less, in compliance with API Spec 10. The temperature of the water bath is controlled and brightly indicated on the temperature controller panel.
FEATURES
✔ Leading industry design incorporating stainless steel paddle casting and replaceable shaft.
✔ Easy to program temperature controller. All that is necessary is set the temperature and turn on the heater.
✔ Long lasting, heavy duty motor provides years of trouble free service.
✔ Copper cooling coil integrated into stainless steel tank provides fast cooling response.
✔ Heavy duty, long lasting, stainless steel ball bearings.
