The Model 60 Atmospheric Consistometer is designed to condition cement
slurries as specified within API Specification 10. Determination of rheological
properties and examination of free water content require that the cement
slurry be conditioned prior to testing. The OFITE Model 60 was specifically
developed to perform these duties.
A cement slurry is prepared according to the procedure outlined in the
API Specification 10 and then placed in the slurry containers of the
Model 60 Atmospheric Consistometer. The slurry is stirred at 150 RPM
by an API-designed paddle assembly. The temperature is controlled by
a microprocessor, which displays the process temperature via a digital
indicator. Consistency, measured in Bearden Units of Consistency, is
determined by measuring the deflection of a calibrated spring. The spring is
connected to a pointer that rotates on a scale (numbered 1 through 10) on
the slurry container lid. This deflection is created by the amount of torque that
the cement slurry exerts on the paddle, which is a function of the consistency
of the cement. The API defines 100 Bc as 2,080 g-cm of torque and each
number on the lid is a multiple of 10 (1 equals 10 Bc, 5 equals 50 Bc, and 10
equals 100 Bc).
