During cementing operations, the time required for a cement slurry to set is
of primary concern. Under an ideal situation, minimal time would be required
to successfully pump the slurry, which immediately upon placement, begins
to develop compressive strength. However, if insucient time is allowed to
fully pump the cement, it will be necessary to drill the cement remaining in the
casing string. Remedial operations such as this are very costly. Conversely,
cements that are successfully placed, but require considerable time to
cure, consume valuable rig time, which is also quite costly. Laboratory tests
should be conducted under simulated reservoir conditions to examine the
actual thickening time of the slurry. The OFITE HTHP Consistometer was
specically engineered to determine the thickening time of well cements
under simulated downhole pressures and temperatures.
A cement is mixed and poured into the slurry cup assembly. The slurry cup
is placed into the test vessel and pressure is increased via an air-driven
hydraulic pump. A PID temperature controller governs an internal heater,
which maintains the necessary temperature prole, while a magnetic drive
mechanism rotates the slurry cup assembly. A potentiometer controls an
output voltage, which is directly proportional to the amount of torque the
cement exerts upon an API-approved paddle. The included software controls
the instrument and records temperature, pressure, and cement consistency
as a function of time.
- Touch screen display for standalone operation
- Computerized Data Acquisition and Control system provides detailed test
information in convenient formats and can control multiple units from one
computer. RS-232, Ethernet, and USB connections available.

dripping oil on the unit casing
- Convenient oil reservoir features a cap with built-in funnel to help prevent
spills, a removable top and bottom that make cleaning easy, and a sloping
bottom that collects sediment for easy removal
- Visual indicator provides an at-a-glance status update during testing
- Small footprint saves valuable lab space
- Temperature, pressure, and consistency alarms provide automatic
shutdown for safety
- Conforms to API Specication 10 guidelines

• The Consistometer conforms to the relevant safety regulations; however
the user is solely responsible for the correct handling and proper usage of
the instrument.
• The equipment should be operated in such a way that will not endanger
people.
• The equipment must not be operated if there is any evidence of external
damage, leading to any doubt regarding safe operation.
• The user must comply with the instructions in this instruction manual,
otherwise safe operation cannot be guaranteed.
• This instruction manual must be readily available for all operators.
• Do not bend or stress connection cables and mains cable.
• Do not subject connection or mains cables to high temperatures (higher
than 70°C).
• Check integrity of cables at regular intervals.
• The unit must be powered down before any cables are connected or
disconnected. This reduces the risk of electrostatic charging and resultant
damage to electronic circuit boards.
• The operator must have a good familiarity with the installation of the unit
and its surroundings.
• Suitable protective gear should be worn in the factory environment in
which the unit has been installed.
• The unit should be serviced at regular intervals as detailed on page 40.
• The user is responsible for the safe handling of any materials tested. If in
doubt the material safety data sheet should be read, relevant safe han-
dling regulations should be read and observed and good operating and
manufacturing practices should be followed.

Quick Start
Starting a Test
1. Before turning on the Consistometer, make sure the MOTOR, HEAT,
COOLING, PUMP, and FILL/DRAIN CELL switches are all o.
2. Turn the MAIN POWER switch on.
3. Turn the MOTOR switch to ON.
4. Slowly lower the slurry cup into the test cell until the drive table engages
with the drive pins on the bottom.
5. Lower the potentiometer into the test cell so that it sits on top of the slurry
cup.
6. Turn the MOTOR switch to AUTO.
7. Carefully lower the cell cap into the test cell and tighten it.
If you are using a metal o-ring and you tighten the cell cap past the
marked position, you must use a new o-ring for the next test.
8. Plug the thermocouple into the port near the test cell. Insert the
thermocouple into the hole in the top of the cell cap and tighten the thread
gland nger tight and loosen it ¼ of a turn.
9. Close the pressure release valve by turning it clockwise.
10. Turn the FILL/DRAIN CELL switch to FILL. When the cell is full, oil will
leak out of the thermocouple tting on the cell cap. Tighten the tting to
seal the cell.
Leave the FILL/DRAIN CELL switch in the FILL position during
testing.
11. Turn the HEAT, COOLING, PUMP, and POT VOLTS switches to AUTO.
12. Turn the DAQ PAUSE switch to OPERATE and the ALARM swtich to ON.
13. Load the test:
a. If you will be using the software to run the test, select a Test Prole
and click the Start Test button on the Main Screen (see page 21).
b. If you will be using the onboard controls to run the test, rst select a
test to run (see page 29), then touch the Start Test button.
