10770 Moss Ridge Rd., Bldg. B • Houston, TX USA 77043 • Phone: 713-783-1560 • Fax: 713-974-7144 Compact Unit Designed for Fast, Easy PC Operation The patented Grace Instrument M7540 Consistometer/SGS Tester measures slurry consistency, thickening time, and static gel strength while slurry is subjected to simulated downhole conditions. This unit’s innovative hardware design prevents hydraulic fluid from mixing with the test sample and includes roller bearings on the paddle shaft that minimizes friction measurement errors. FREE Advanced Grace Instrument M7540 Software* Choose from two different testing paddles, a standard API paddle for consistometer testing or a MACS II®-Style SGS paddle for static gel strength testing. FREE advanced software included with each unit allows the user to construct test sequences, run tests, and interpret test results quickly and efficiently. Robust Components Provide Exact Measurements This unit features a rotating paddle that turns at speeds up to 250 rpm. Cement slurry is placed in a temperature-controlled, pressure-controlled cell tested under user-specified conditions via the accompanying software. The paddle is driven by a servo through a magnet coupling. API Consistometer The servo reads the torque to determine the slurry consistency or static or SGS Paddles gel strength. The max rated torque for the M7540’s motor is 0.637 N·m, and the torque resolution is 9.72e-6 N·m. All hardware components are created in accordance with industry-standard API specifications. *Standard software is free. Custom software options (sold separately) are available, please contact Grace Instrument for details. Simple Setup, Easy Operation, and Reliable, Repeatable Testing U.S. Patent No.: The M7540 enables the operator to perform accurate, dependable test operations with minimal preparation time. Its unique design prevents the Temperature Range: mixing of pressurization fluid with cement due to stirring. The M7540 is also easy to set up, use, and clean. To ensure operator safety, the software includes several innovative safety features. The software will shut down tests with a reaction torque measurement above 1800 lb/100 ft2. It can also be set to automatically stop the motor at the end of or during tests, end tests, program the heating speed to increase/decrease temperature step-by-step, enable an alarm that activates when set values of temperature and consistency are exceeded, and more. Features • Unique patented design. Ball bearings support the inside of the rotating paddle, substantially reducing friction measurement errors and maximizing the accuracy and sensitivity of the instrument. • Prevents pressurization fluid/hydraulic fluid from contaminating cement after stirring. • Accurate measurement by extremely precise servo. Unit automatically conditions slurry. Control panel optimized for ease of use. • Choose from two convenient paddle options: Macs II®-style SGS paddle or standard API consistometer paddle. Dimensions of paddle and cell fullly comply with API 10B standard. • FREE software included with each unit is compatible with Windows and can control up to 8 units. • Computer-controlled, automatic 6-channel data logging with easy export. • Peforms comparisons of current test data with historical test data. • Designed for maximum accuracy and operator safety. Software safety feature shuts down tests above 1800 lb/100 ft2. Reliable temperature/pressure/consistency/time safety features also included. • Constant temperature control system. Automatic PC-controlled temperature and pressure.
