The Pressurized Curing Chambers, Series TG-7370, are specifically designed to prepare cement samples for comprehensive strength testing in strict accordance with API Specification 10, Section 7.
The TG-7370 are intended for the ranges of pressures up to 5000 psi (35 MPa), and temperatures up to 700°F (370℃).The TG
Cement slurries for testing are initially mixed with a
The Series of TG-7370 Pressurized Curing Chambers are used in laboratories involved in oil well cement research programs, research and testing of cement additives, cement manufacturer’s quality assurance programs, and in the research and field laboratories of well servicing companies.
Various models of the Series TG-7370 are available. These units, with their options, cover a wide range of operational temperatures and pressures to stimulate a wide variety of down-hole conditions. Both single and dual cell units are available.
The dual cell units offer the advantages of a minimum requirement of laboratory space. They also offer a slightly lower cost per cell because two pressure vessels are combined into one cabinet.

OPERATIONS
Operation of the
The temperature control of the samples is maintained with a microprocessor-based Temperture Controller. The Temperature Controller has programmable capability so the “dual slope” temperature profiles, as required by API Spec 10, can easily be set by the operator via the panel keypad. This ease of setting the temperature profile is a great improvement over any previous temperature control device. In addition to controlling the rise in temperature and holding the temperature constant over the curing period, the Temperature Controller will control the cooling rate at the end of the test in conjunction with the application of cooling water. Pressure is generated with an air-operated high-pressure pump, and control is maintained with a pressure relief valve. |
