M8500 HPHT Dynamic Sag Tester
Click here to download the M8500 brochure in PDF format

The Grace Instrument M8500 High Pressure, High Temperature Dynamic Sag Tester is designed for evaluating barite and other weight material sag under simulated drilling conditions.

Data Integrity
The innovative design of the M8500 accumulator piston prevents contamination of the drilling fluid inside the testing cell with pressurization fluid.

Control Parameters
A sample of drilling fluid is subjected to an adjustable temperature, pressure, rotor (pipe) speed and borehole angle for a set period of time.

Sample Extraction
Small amounts of the sample are taken from a defined collection site within the testing cell while maintaining temperature, pressure, and shear conditions. This method of sample extraction produces repeatable results.

Sample Characterization
Density and composition of the extracted sag samples can be measured. Other qualitative and quantitative analysis can also be performed.

3-in-1 Option:
  • HPHT DYNAMIC SAG TESTER
  • HPHT FLUID RHEOMETER
  • HPHT CEMENT RHEOMETER

Optional viscosity monitoring modules are available for hydraulic and rheology modeling of drilling fluids and cement.
These modules feature concentric cylinder geometry, permitting tests which conform to API specifications.
