The
SGSM Chart
shows a graph for an SGSM test while the test is running.
“Elapsed Time” - Time since the test began (HR:MM:SS)
“State Time” - Elapsed time of the current state.
“SGSM State” - The current state of the SGSM test.
Mixing - The bob is mixing the cement. The speed is set by the
“Conditioning Speed” field in the Setup screen.
Wait - After conditioning the cement, the motor stops for 6 seconds to
allow the fluid to reach a steady state.
Pre Zero - Before performing the zero operation, the software turns
the bob one full revolution to overcome any initial drag.
Zero - Before starting the test, the software turns the bob one full
revolution and records the amount of drag in the system. It uses these
values to compensate for the drag during a test.
Stop - The bob is stopped between measurements. The bob will be
stopped for the amount of time specified in the “SGSM Wait Time”
field on the Setup screen.
