1.
Select Edit → Cell 1 (or Cell 2) → Test
2. On the Information tab, enter the necessary information.
The Cement Density field is used to calculate the compressive strength
during UCA tests. All other fields on this tab are optional.
The Bob Height and Bob Diameter fields are only used in SGSM tests.
For UCA tests, they can be ignored.
3. On the Configuration tab, set the following parameters:
Type:
Select UCA
Stop at End:
When this option is “No”, the test will run until you click the
“Stop Test” button. The final temperature and pressure setpoints will be
maintained indefinitely. If this option is “Yes”, the test will end when all
steps in the Test Profile are complete.
Temp Unit:
Choose either F (Fahrenheit) or C (Celsius)
CS Unit:
Choose units for compressive strength (psi or MPa)
Density Unit:
Choose either lb/gal or kg/cu m
Temperature Control:
The instrument has two thermocouples. One is in
the cement sample in the cell. The other is in the heating jacket (Bath).
Use this option to determine which thermocouple will be used to control
the temperature. The “Sample” setting is recommended during testing.
The “Bath” setting is recommended during pre-heat.
