For PVT Oil Research, Core Analysis and Supercritical Fluids
The new VISCOlab pvt viscosity system incorporates the Cambridge Viscosity SPL440 viscometer and the VISCOpro 2000 processor with an elegant new graphic user interface and a high pressure fluid management system. Sample flow can be controlled with a simple 3-valve plumbing configuration. Pressure is monitored with a digital pressure gauge. Temperature is controlled with a recirculating bath.
The VISCOlab pvt is based on years of experience in oil research, exploration and supercritical fluid viscosity measurements. The new instrument minimizes fluid volume and produces rapid iso-thermal temperature equilibration with the use of a recirculating bath. The temperature management system heat traces all the critical parts to insure ISO conditions with the entire fluid sample. The system also simplifies the process of pressurizing the measurement cell and requires no mercury.
PVT measurements that used to take days take just a few hours with the VISCOlab pvt. It is the first viscometer to measure gas and gas condensates. A new graphic interface provides a real time display of test conditions, easy data storage and management. The VISCOlab pvt provides statistical certainty that insures the fluid conditions are stable, accurate, and repeatable.
