Automatic Curing Chamber oil and petroleum testing instruments by ATICO EXPORT

The automated curing chamber is used to prepare well cement specimens for compressive strength tests. It is necessary to determine the amount of time required for a cement to develop compressive strength so that drilling and production operations can be resumed as quickly as possible. The goal is to design a slurry that can quickly develop compressive strength so that the “waiting on cement” time may be minimized. The automated curing chamber provides a means of curing cement specimens under typical down-hole temperatures and pressures.
