Aging test cell M1741

Determine static/dynamic temperature of drilling fluids using aging cells Grace Instrument aging cells were designed to be used with the Grace Instrument M1740/M1750 Roller Ovens, in the aging and testing of drilling fluids or muds. It allows samples to be maintained in a liquid state while subjected to a temperature higher than the boiling point of water due to pressure. Most drilling fluid properties are formulated through a base liquid and additives that must be dissolved or mechanically distributed within the base liquid to form a uniform, homogeneous fluid. As a result, properties of the drilling fluid may contain one or more of the following: • Water-soluble(dispersible) polymers or resins • Clays or other insoluble but dispersible fine solids • Soluble Salts The fluids are mixed or sheared for an appropriate amount of time to achieve a homogeneous composition and afterwards set aside to age. The process of aging depends on conditions that may vary from static to dynamic and from ambient to highly elevated temperatures.
