Automated Confining Pressure and Temperature Controller

The Automated Confining Pressure and Temperature Controller (CT-CMP-ACPT, LEACP150 series) supplies confining fluid to a core holder at a set pressure and temperature and holds both at setpoint for the length of a test. It is one of the building blocks of coreflood and SCAL rigs and is suited to porous-media studies under NMR, CT scanning and in flow work.

How it works

A pump with a 250 cc cylinder pressurizes hydraulic oil to the confining pressure setpoint. The oil is circulated at up to 1 L/min and heated to the temperature setpoint, up to 150 °C, so confining pressure and sample temperature are controlled together from one unit. Confining pressure and temperature are measured and reported. Wetted parts are stainless steel, tubing connections are 1/4 in SLP, and power is 110 to 220 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz.

Two models are listed; they differ only in pressure rating.

This description defines the product family. Guaranteed performance, included hardware, exclusions, interfaces and acceptance criteria are stated only in the project-specific technical proposal and approved datasheet.

5,000 psi temperature-controlled configuration

• The controller reaches a temperature ceiling of 150°C.
• Confinement is limited to 5,000 psi; the pore-pressure maximum is 5,000 psi.
• Cylinder capacity for the pump is 250 cc.
• Hydraulic oil circulates at rates no higher than 1 liter/min.
• Connect tubing through the 1/4 inch SLP interface.
• Supply voltage is 110-220 VAC. Either 50 Hz or 60 Hz is acceptable.
• The parts exposed to operating fluid use stainless steel.

10,000 psi temperature-controlled configuration

• The controller reaches a temperature ceiling of 150°C.
• Confinement is limited to 10,000 psi; the pore-pressure maximum is 10,000 psi.
• Cylinder capacity for the pump is 250 cc.
• Hydraulic oil circulates at rates no higher than 1 liter/min.
• Connect tubing through the 1/4 inch SLP interface.
• Supply voltage is 110-220 VAC. Either 50 Hz or 60 Hz is acceptable.
