Oil Well Cementing

Compressive Strength

Compressive Strength testers are used to determine the compressive strength development, gel strength development and elastic moduli of oil well cement under simulated downhole conditions.

4265HT Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer

4265HT (600ºF / 316ºC; 20,000 psi / 138 MPa)
Testing the strength of standard cement cubes only provides information about cured strength. To accurately and effectively schedule a cementing job with a minimum WOC time, you need to determine how a slurry develops strength over time during curing. The 4265HT Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer (UCA) provides a determination of the strength development of a cement sample while it is being cured under very high downhole temperature and pressure conditions.

4268-E Cement Expansion Cell

4268-E (400ºF / 204ºC; 10,000 psi / 69 MPa)
The expansion or shrinkage of oil well cement during curing can positively or negatively impact the integrity of a competed well. The 4268-E Cement Expansion / Shrinkage Cell is an option to a 5265 Static Gel Strength Analyzer (SGSA), Model 4265 Ultrasonic Cement Analyzer (UCA) or 4265H UCA. When combined with a precision pressure controller, the system continuously measures the expansion or shrinkage of a cement sample under high temperature and high-pressure conditions.
