  • Page 5: General Information

    PREFACE General Information Application of the Consistometer Cements have numerous applications in the drilling, completion, work-over, and abandonment of wells. For each application, the cement is designed with special properties and is given additives that provide predictable slurry density, volume, viscosity, compressive strength, and thickening time.
  • Page 6 PREFACE The viscosity (i.e. consistency) of the cement slurry is indicated by a meter and is recorded on a chart as a DC voltage obtained from a potentiometer installed within the pressure cylinder. The potentiometer contains a standardized torsion spring, which resists the rotating force of the paddle. Rotational force is proportional to consistency of the cement slurry.

  • Page 7: Specifications

  • Page 9: Section 1 - Installation

    SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION Section 1 - Installation Unpacking the Instrument After the consistometer is unpacked, the operating equipment and spare parts on the packing list should be checked to affirm that all have been received and none are damaged. File an insurance claim with your freight carrier if damage has occurred during shipment.

  • Page 10: Connecting Power To The Consistometer

    INSTALLATION Connecting Power to the Consistometer 1. Connect the supplied twist-on power connectors to the receptacles at the rear of the unit. 2. Connect the power plugs to an appropriately rated power source and receptacle. For user safety a power plug and mating receptacle are required. Note: This receptacle MUST be properly grounded.

    SECTION 2 - OPERATION Section 2 – Operating Instructions Training On site training classes are available. For more information, contact our Sales Department at Chandler Engineering. Preparing the Instrument for a Test Prior to running a test, the following steps must be performed. Configuring the Consistency Display 1.
  • Page 12 OPERATION Drawings and Schematics section of this manual. Thoroughly clean all parts and verify that all parts are in good condition. 1. Lightly grease all interior surfaces of the slurry cup with white lithium grease or the equivalent. 2. Install the diaphragm support ring, the diaphragm, and the diaphragm backup plate onto the paddle assembly.

  • Page 13: Running A Test

    SECTION 2 - OPERATION Shear Pin Assembly 4. Install the complete paddle assembly into the slurry cup. 5. Screw the diaphragm lock-down ring into the top of the slurry cup while checking to make sure the paddle turns freely. 6. Invert the slurry cup into the slurry cup support. 7.
  • Page 14 OPERATION 3. After the slurry cup is loaded into the cell, the potentiometer mechanism (pot. mech.) is pushed onto the slurry cup paddle shaft and the test cell contact pins. Attach the short bail to the top of the potentiometer and lower the pot mech into the test cell. When properly engaged, the top of the paddle shaft will be flush with the top of the torque measurement potentiometer bearing.

  • Page 15: After The Test Is Complete

    SECTION 2 - OPERATION Caution: The pressure cylinder and plug may be extremely hot. Severe burns can result from touching. After the Test is Complete A buzzer will sound, signaling the slurry has reached the required consistency. The controllers must now be shut down as follows: 1.
  • Page 16 OPERATION 12. Using the short Bail, reach into the cylinder and remove the Potentiometer Mechanism. 13. Using the Bail, reach into the cylinder and remove the Slurry Cup. The Cup should be immersed immediately in a container of cold water, after which the slurry should be removed from the Cup.

  • Page 17: Section 3 - Maintenance

    SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Section 3 - Maintenance The operating life of the Consistometer can be extended measurably if operating and maintenance instructions provided in this manual are adhered to. Avoidance of down time and parts replacement depends on the proper cleaning, lubrication, replacement of filters, and calibration of instrumentation and controls.

  • Page 18: Monthly

    MAINTENANCE OF CONSISTOMETER If the threads are damaged, the thermocouple may blow out under pressure. Inspect the exterior of the probe for thinning or nicking. Replace any or all components as required. Monthly Potentiometer Mechanism The potentiometer mechanism must be completely disassembled and cleaned. If any of the following components exhibit signs of wear, they must be replaced as follows.

  • Page 19: Magnetic Drive

    SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE The potentiometer mechanism and the voltage measuring circuit, which indicate consistency, should be calibrated by using the Weight-Loaded Potentiometer Calibrating Device. This device is used to apply torque to the potentiometer spring, using the radius of the potentiometer frame as a lever arm.
