The Model 290 HPHT Consistometer exposes a cement slurry sample to a controlled set of parameters of temperature, agitation and pressure that simulate the down-hole conditions. During a test, these parameters are carefully monitored and precisely controlled by Fann’s proprietary Control System Software. A flat panel, High-Resolution, LCD touch-screen provides the interface between the user and the software. The LCD screen provides real-time viewing of temperature, pressure, and consistency data in graphic and text formats. This data is automatically recorded to a database for future analysis to help predict the cement slurry’s down-hole performance.
