Oil And Water Retort Kit 10ml Model RROW-10N

Digital Oil & Water Retort Kit Model RROW-10N

The Retort Oil and Water Kit Used to determine the quantity of liquids and solids in a drilling fluid.

The Retort provides a method for measuring the percentage (%) of oil and water, and for estimating both suspended and dissolved solids contained in a sample of water-based or oil-based muds and cuttings. Knowledge of oil, water, and solid content is fundamental to proper control of mud properties when considering oil/water ratios, rheology, density, filtration, and salinity. Knowledge of solids in drilling fluids is essential to evaluation of viscosity control and solids control equipment. In a typical test, a known volume of fluid is heated in a retort chamber to vaporize the liquid components. These vapors are then condensed and collected in a graduated receiver and noted by percent volume. The volume of percent solids, both suspended and dissolved, are calculated by subtracting the total final liquid volume from the initial total liquid volume.

Retorts are available with either 50 ml, 20 ml and 10 ml,removable chambers. For increased accuracy, and for better comparisons between locations, we provide the 50 ,20 and 10 ml retorts with digital temperature controllers so that test temperatures may be accurately set by the operator and to minimize the danger of overheating. An indicator lamp lights when the test begins and shuts off when completed. The chamber, heater, adapter cord, glassware, and accessories are included in a stainless steel carrying case.
