By measuring the change in velocity of an acoustic signal, the Ultrasonic
Cement Analyzer provides a continuous non-destructive method of
determining compressive strength as a function of time.
The cement slurry to be tested is placed in heating jacket with temperature
and pressure adjusted to simulate downhole conditions. An acoustic signal is
then transmitted through the cement sample. As the strength of the cement
increases over time, the acoustic signal travels faster through the sample.
A computer running customized Windows
®
software measures the transit
times of the signal over time and interpolates the compressive strength
values. This data is available in real time on-screen and is also stored in an
Excel
®
spreadsheet for easy graphical viewing and printing.
The Twin Cell UCA features two test cells in a single enclosure. Both
units share electrical power; air, water, and drain plumbing; and PC to
UCA connectivity. All other systems (heating, pressurization, etc.) are
completely separate.
- Cement samples are not destroyed
- Programmable temperature control (up to 400°F or 204.4°C)
- Self-venting regulators provide extensive pressure control (up to 5,000 psi
or 34.5 MPa)
- Data is available instantly on screen and is automatically converted to
Excel
®
spreadsheet format
