Atmospheric Consistometer

Atmospheric consistometerCTE Model 200 Atmospheric Consistometer are specifically designed to prepare cement slurries for the testing of various parameters in strict compliance with API Spec 10 and ISO 10426. The testing of cement slurries requires the measurement of thickening time, free water content, viscosity, rheological properties, fluid loss and various other properties. The Models 200 provide a simple method for conditioning the cement slurries in preparation for performing these tests. API Spec 10 outlines the requirements and provides the basis for the design and operation of Atmospheric Consistometer.

Cement slurries are initially mixed with a CTE Model 7000 Constant Speed Mixer in compliance with Section 5 of API spec 10.The slurry is then placed into the Model 200 for any or all of the following tests as per API and ISO requirements:

  • THICKENING TIME
  • WATER CONTENT OF SLURRY
  • DETERMINATION OF RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
  • FLUID LOSS TEST
  • OTHER: Specific tests can be run according to individual requirements.
