Retort Kit Oil & Water external heating
Description:
The separation and determination of water, oil and solid volume in water-based drilling fluid samples can be realized. The instrument adopts
400W high-power external heating distillation mode to avoid dry burning (overheating) caused by internal heating. The experimental
temperature can be set and the volume of distilled body is 20ml. The instrument is simple to operate and is the basis for understanding the solid concentration and composition, viscosity and filtration control of water-based drilling fluid. It is a common instrument used in laboratory
and field.
Operating principle:
The known volume of water-based drilling fluid sample is heated in the distiller, and its liquid phase components are evaporated and
condensed, and then collected in the measuring cylinder. The liquid volume is directly determined from the readings of oil phase
and water phase in the measuring cylinder. The total solid phase volume (suspended and dissolved) is obtained from the difference (total sample volume liquid phase volume). Since any dissolved solid will remain in the distiller, the volume of suspended solid phase must be determined through calculation, and the relative volume of low specific gravity solid phase and weighting material can also be obtained through calculation.
