Model 88C Instruction Manual Introduction The Model 88C Resistivity Meter measures the resistivity of fluids, slurries, and semisolids according to API recommended practice. Field and laboratory personnel rely on this instrument to evaluate formation characteristics from electric logs. Resistivity is the ability of a material to resist conduction; conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity.

Model 88C Instruction Manual Safety Safe laboratory practices and procedures should be observed while operating and maintaining the Model 88C. Battery Safety On nine volt batteries, the positive and negative terminals are on the same end, next to each other. If these terminals touch anything metal, such as steel wool, coins, or a paper clip, a short circuit could occur, creating heat, sparks, a fire, or an explosion.
Model 88C Instruction Manual Features and Specifications The Model 88C can measure resistivity in three ranges – 0.01 to 2, 0.1 to 20, and 1.0 to 200 ohm meters. The ohm-meter reading can be converted into parts per million sodium chloride (or equivalent calcium chloride, potassium chloride or other carbonate or hydroxyl salts) using the resistivity chart (Figure 4-1).
Model 88C Instruction Manual Operation The Model 88C Resistivity Meter can measure resistivity of fluid samples and semisolid samples (e.g., filter cakes or mud solids). Procedures for both types of samples are listed here. The resistivity chart or nomograph (Figure 4-1) is used to determine the quantity of...
Model 88C Instruction Manual Do not use solvents to clean the cell. 6. Using the nomograph (Figure 4-1), convert the resistivity in ohm-meters to concentration of chlorides. Semisolid Samples This procedure explains how to measure resistivity of semisolid samples, such as filter cakes and mud solids.
Model 88C Instruction Manual Troubleshooting and Maintenance Calibration and regular maintenance procedures are described in this section. If more extensive maintenance or service of the instrument is required, please contact Fann Instrument Company. Calibration This procedure is a simple method for checking the instrument. A thorough calibration requires a calibration kit.
Model 88C Instruction Manual A battery eliminator (P/N 101710234) is available as a separate purchase. See the parts list for details. Cleaning Always clean the cell immediately after making a measurement. Do not use solvents to clean the cell. Avoid scratching the surface of the cell.
