Liquid Permeameter System Model RCLP-200

Description

Liquid Permeameter System  Model   RCLP-200

The Liquid Permeability Measurement System is a complete, high-performance permeameter engineered for the precise determination of core sample permeability under pore and confining pressures of up to 10,000 PSI (70 MPa). Ideal for laboratory testing of reservoir rocks, the system delivers accurate, stable, and repeatable results.

Permeability is a critical reservoir evaluation parameter, directly influencing the production potential of hydrocarbon-bearing formations. It quantifies how easily fluids flow through porous media and is typically determined using Darcy’s Law, which correlates flow rate, pressure differential, and rock properties.

This system is specifically designed to evaluate how different fluids affect the permeability of core specimens. Its rugged construction, versatile configuration, and user-friendly interface make it indispensable for core analysis and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) research.

Standard System Components

·         Low-pulsation HPLC pump for fluid injection, with adjustable flow rates from 0.01 to 10 ml/min

·         Manual hydraulic pump to apply and maintain confining pressure

·         Two 1.0-liter piston accumulators for consistent fluid storage and delivery

·         Horizontally-mounted Hassler-type core holder, suitable for various core sizes

·         High-accuracy differential pressure transducer (range: 0–500 psid), protected by a manual bypass valve

·         Dome-loaded backpressure regulator to maintain isobaric outlet pressure and ensure test stability

Optional Module

·         Gas Permeability Module: Enables testing of relative gas permeability (Krg). Gas (e.g., N₂) is injected through the core, and flow data is used to calculate endpoint relative permeability.

Key Features

·         Manual valve controls allow forward and reverse injection of three separate fluids and nitrogen gas

·         Hassler-type core holder can rotate between horizontal and vertical orientations

·         Wetted materials are 316 Stainless Steel (optionally available in Hastelloy C-276)

·         Two-piece cabinet construction with a storage compartment and locking swivel castors for mobility

·         Supplied with a PC and data acquisition software for test monitoring and data logging
