High-Pressure Microscope

Function. Provides direct microscopic observation of the onset of wax and asphaltene precipitation under controlled high pressure and temperature.

Controlled. Sample pressure and temperature (reference up to 20,000 psi and 200 degC).

Measured. Visual precipitation onset and particle formation.

Pressure and temperature ratings, wetted materials, cell/loop geometry and instrumentation are configured per project. Guaranteed performance and included hardware are stated only in the project-specific technical proposal and approved datasheet.

Features

• Pressure range : Ambient to 20,000 psi
• Temperature range : ambient to 200°C Particle size detection : from 1 µm
• Wetted material : Stainless steel, sapphire
• Microscope zoom : up to x 500

Benefits

• Can be connected to any End user's PVT cell
• Provides visual definition of the types of solids present in the sample
• Permits to directly observe the onset and growth of organic solid precipitates at pressure and temperature
• Provided with interpretation facilities
