  • 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 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 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.

  • Page 12: Hesitation Squeeze

    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.

  • Page 18: Thermocouple (Slurry Cup)

    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.

  • Page 19: Potentiometer Calibration

    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.

  • Page 20: Thermocouple And Temperature Control System

    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.
