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 In the Model 7322, pressure is controlled using a dynamic, programmable pressurization system. The temperature, pressure and the viscosity of the slurry are recorded on a strip chart in the electronics module. An interface is also included for PC based data acquisition. The Chandler Model 5270 Instrument Control System is specifically designed for this interface.

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.
SECTION 1 – INSTALLATION Connecting Power to the Consistometer 1. Connect the supplied twist-on power connector to the receptacle at the rear of the unit. 2. Connect the power plug to an appropriately rated power source and receptacle. For user safety a power plug and mating receptacle are required.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Section 2 – Operating Instructions The chart recorder is configured at the factory and will be ready for use at power-up. A manual has been enclosed for your reference. The Bearden unit indicator is pre-configured at the factory to alarm at 100 Bc. The alarms control four items.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Hesitation Squeeze The motor can be programmed to run a hesitation squeeze schedule using the 5270 DACS software. To allow the motor to run continuously during a test, place the motor switch in the ON position. To allow the 5270 DACS software to control the motor, place the motor switch AUTO position.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Shear Pin Assembly 5. Install the complete paddle assembly into the slurry cup. 6. Screw the diaphragm lock-down ring into the top of the slurry cup while checking to make sure the paddle turns freely. 7.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 5. Screw the test cell plug into the cylinder by hand. The last turn of the plug seats the O- Ring seal and will offer slight resistance. Note: Do not over-tighten the test cell plug. Hand-tightening the plug is sufficient for a complete seal.
SECTION 2 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4. If the program status light is displayed on the temperature or pressure controller screen, press the F2 button to stop the program. Press the F1 button to toggle to Manual Mode (the Hand indicator should turn on).

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.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE 4. Replace the diaphragm (07-0038 or 07-1006) when the diaphragm is no longer flexible. Note that these diaphragms are consumable items, use at temperatures above 300°F reduces the useful life. Thermocouple (Slurry Cup) Inspect the thermocouple to ensure that it is straight, and the threaded collar is positioned with two threads showing on the lower side.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE 2. Remove the old calibration spring. 3. Install a new spring (when the center shaft of the potentiometer mechanism is turned counterclockwise, the spring is wound tighter). 4. Replace the contact arm. 5. Loosen but do not remove three screws on underside. 6.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE The inner magnetic shaft must be pulled and inspected. Replace the complete assembly if the magnet sleeve is worn through or bulging at the center. Remove the magnetic housing drain plug and flush all cement sediment from the cylinder using water. Dry any remaining water on the cylinder floor using towels.
SECTION 3 – MAINTENANCE Six Months Timer Accuracy should be verified according to API specs every six months. There are no provisions for adjusting the timer provided with the instrument. Review your API specs for details. Air Operated Valve 1. Relieve system pressure. Remove the valve from the system and place it securely in a vice.
