Intro
The Static Gel Strength Measurement (SGSM) device uses a vaned bob to
condition a cement slurry inside a pressurized test cell and measure static gel
strength at down-hole conditions. By directly measuring the forces required
to initiate movement in the sample, the SGSM provides an accurate way of
determining the static gel strength.
The High Pressure SGSM (#120-58) fits in a high-pressure UCA test cell.
This configuration is compatible with both the Single Cell UCA (#120-50) and
the Dual Cell UCA (#120-52).
The Low Pressure SGSM (#120-53) fits in a low-pressure UCA test cell. This
configuration is compatible with the Twin Cell UCA (#120-51).
In an SGSM test, a vaned bob is submerged in the cement. During the test,
the bob turns periodically and measures the static gel strength of the sample.
A computer running OFITE software graphs the data from both cells. This
data is available in real time on-screen and is also stored in an Excel
®
spreadsheet for easy graphical viewing and printing.
