The Multiple Analysis Cement System (MACS II®) is an instrument that performs static gel strength (SGS) tests on cement slurry samples. Rapid static gel development (short transition time) indicates good gas migration control. The MACS II® conducts these tests under simulated down-hole pressure and temperature conditions to determine the Zero Gel Time/Transition Time (SGS/Time). Complies
The MACS II® accepts a sample of cement slurry and applies a controlled set of temperature, agitation, and pressure parameters that simulate the down-hole conditions of a well. During testing, it monitors, controls, and records these parameters to form a data set. This data can then be analyzed to assist in predicting the performance of cement slurry in a well.
