M2000

M2000-HT

Another higher temperature model is available which is capable of a slightly higher maximum temperature of 500°F (260°C).

OPERATION

Relative strength is determined by measuring the change in velocity of an ultrasonic signal transmitted through the cement slurry specimen as it cures. As the strength of the cement specimen increases, the transit time of the ultrasonic signal through the specimen decreases, allowing the relative strength to be calculated. The slurry sample to be tested is prepared in accordance with API recommended practices and placed in the pressure cell. Pumped water pressure is applied with an air regulator and set point pressure control is achieved automatically with a high pressure regulator. Step by step programming instructions are displayed on the 12” touch screen. Temperature control is fully automatic and multi-ramp programmable.

Safety features include:
• Rupture disc protects system over-pressure.
• Fused circuitry.
• Automated error reporting.
• Thermocouple detection protects against heater run-away.
• Over-current sensing relay monitors and protects against short circuits.
