Steady- and Unsteady-State Relative Permeameter

Function. Performs both unsteady-state and steady-state relative permeability studies for liquid/liquid and liquid/gas at reservoir-representative conditions.

Controlled. Confining and pore pressure; temperature; injection rate.

Measured. Absolute and relative permeability curves.

Sample count, pressure and temperature ratings, wetted materials, seals and instrumentation are configured per project. Guaranteed performance and included hardware are stated only in the project-specific technical proposal and approved datasheet.

Features

• Maximum confining pressure : 700 bar (10,000 psi)
• Maximum pore pressure : 700 bar (10,000 psi)
• Maximum working temperature : 150°C
• Fluid flow : recirculated fluid phases
• Core diameter : 1"1/2 other upon request
• Core length : 1" to 3" other upon request
• Flow rate: 0.005 to 50 cc/min
• Material: Stainless steel
• Power supply: 220VAC, 50/60 Hz
• Live oil requirements: 300 ml
• Air Pressure requirements: 7 bar (100 psi)

Benefits

• The fluid phases are injected and recirculated in the core sample at reservoir conditions.
• The recirculation mode uses less fluid and allows for faster equilibrium with the flowing phases.
• Fluid production from the core sample is measured at reservoir conditions by a self calibrated separator.
• Compact system.
