Educational Steady state relative permeameter Routine core analysis Instruments

The instrument is a semi-automated relative permeameter specifically designed for educational purposes. The unit flawlessly performs steady-state brine/oil relative permeability determination studies on plug-sized core samples at moderate confining pressure and ambient temperature. A core plug is fitted into a Viton sleeve and inserted in a resistivity core holder. Liquid phases are injected through the core sample at different constant flow rates. Saturations are deduced from core resistivity measurements. Absolute and relative permeability are determined via the Darcy method. An optional gas permeability module is also available.
