During cementing operations, the time required for a cement slurry to set is
of primary concern. Under an ideal situation, minimal time would be required
to successfully pump the slurry, which immediately upon placement, begins
to develop compressive strength. However, if insufcient time is allowed to
fully pump the cement, it will be necessary to drill the cement remaining in the
casing string. Remedial operations such as this are very costly. Conversely,
cements that are successfully placed, but require considerable time to
cure, consume valuable rig time, which is also quite costly. Laboratory tests
should be conducted under simulated reservoir conditions to examine the
actual thickening time of the slurry. The OFITE Benchtop Consistometer
was specically engineered to determine the thickening time of well cements
under simulated downhole pressures and temperatures.
A cement is mixed and poured into the slurry cup assembly. The slurry cup
is placed into the test vessel and pressure is increased via an air-driven
hydraulic pump. A PID temperature controller governs an internal heater,
which maintains the necessary temperature prole, while a magnetic drive
mechanism rotates the slurry cup assembly at 150 RPM. A potentiometer
controls an output voltage, which is directly proportional to the amount of
torque the cement exerts upon an API-approved paddle. A chart recorder
registers cement consistency and temperature as a function of time.
Temperature and consistency are digitally displayed via LED indicators.

Setup
Consistometer
1. Carefully remove the instrument from the wooden crate and place it on a
stable surface.
2. Connect an air or nitrogen (100 – 150 PSI / 690 – 1,035 kPa) supply to the
air supply on the back of the instrument.
This unit uses ¼" NPT female connectors for all supply lines.
3. Connect the drain and coolant supply lines, also on the back of the unit.
4. Make sure all electrical switches are turned off and the unit is grounded.
Make the necessary electrical connections in accordance with local
codes.
5. Plug the cable into the top port on the unit cabinet and connect the other
end to the port on the back of the Control Box.
6. If you are using a computer, connect the Control Box to the computer with
the supplied cable. Newer units connect via a USB cable (#130-79-16).
Older units use an RS-232 (serial) cable (#130-79-15).
7. To ll the oil reservoir, remove the oil reservoir cap and pour mineral oil
into the reservoir until it is full. Replace the cap. Make sure the seal is air
tight. Use the sight glass on the side of the reservoir to check the oil level.
The oil level should be about ½" from the top of the sight glass.

Setup
Chart Recorder
The OFITE Benchtop Consistometer includes a Eurotherm Chessell 6100A
chart recorder for displaying and recording test data. It features a removable
drive for easily transferring test data to a PC for processing. The unit is setup
to automatically record data onto the disk during the test. However, for this
feature to work, you must have the disk inserted into the drive when the unit
is powered on. Otherwise, the data must be manually archived at the end of
the test.
