Viscometer for high-pressure fluids

VISCOlab PVT+ is related to the development of heavy oil extraction methods and has a proven track record in measuring fluid viscosity at high pressure and high temperature.

Accurate viscosity measurement with a small sample size is beneficial in all applications. In various fluids, the correlation between laboratory-level measurements of production products and inline process measurements is important. Cambridge's viscometers are compact and robust, making them suitable for processes that must be installed in limited spaces, and they can perform measurements unaffected by changing temperatures, pressures, or surrounding vibrations.

In offshore oil wells, as deep drilling operations increasingly develop, precise viscosity measurements using minute sample fluids hold extremely important significance. The CVI VISCOlab PVT+ is a device capable of measuring viscosity even under high pressure with fluid and gas phases. Measurements can be conducted at a maximum of 138 MPa under normal conditions, or up to 207 MPa as an option, and can be performed not only in a static state but also while the fluid is continuously flowing. The measurement methods comply with ASTM D445 and D7483, requiring only a sample volume of 6 ml. It accommodates various applications such as viscosity measurement under high pressure, petroleum-related investigations, EOR, core analysis, and supercritical fluid development.
