    Model 520 HT UCA Introduction Cements are a critical element in the drilling, completion, workover, and abandonment of wells. For each application, a cement slurry is designed with specific properties and is given additives that provide predictable slurry density, volume, viscosity, compressive strength, fluid loss, gas migration, and thickening time.

    Model 520 HT UCA Before plugging the monitor into the rear of the UCA, make certain power to the instrument is off. If a printer is included with the instrument, it may be connected to the control box. Connect the USB connector on the printer cable to the control box. The printer must also be connected to a suitable power source.

Once the first ramp has been entered, press the NEXT STEP button to proceed to the next ramp or DONE to end the profile programming. If you end the programming at this point and start the test the temperature will reach set point and then fall because there was no second ramp or soak entered.

    Model 520 HT UCA Never calibrate transit time with a cement slurry or steel bar from other devices. Diagnostics The Diagnostics button displays a diagnostic screen where the user may pulse the transducer and display the waveform on the screen. This tool allows the user to quickly verify transducer operation.

    Model 520 HT UCA Running a Test Once a test has begun, a RUN-TIME MENU of current values will be shown. The user may control all available parameters of the instrument from this menu. Under the Pressure column, the user can turn the water supply to the pressure vessel on or off and can turn the pump on when the cylinder is filled.

    Model 520 HT UCA operate. The pressure should be between 20 and 100 psig (1.4 and 6.8 bar) when the pump is not in use. It is normal for the inlet air pressure to drop when the pump is in operation. If the air pressure drops significantly and the pump seems unable to achieve the desired pressure, it may be because the compressed air system is not capable of delivering enough air to operate the pump.

    40+ years ago. Having strength values compute a bit low just makes for conservative results. Fann recommends customers use algorithm B unless they have reason to think another algorithm might work better. If the crush data seems to indicate that algorithm A fits a slurry better than algorithm B, then there is no reason not to use algorithm A.
