RIGCHINA aging cells are designed to be used with RIGCHINA products, such as roller ovens, in the aging and testing of drilling fluids or muds. They are also known as mud aging cells.
Testing highly corrosive fluids at high temperatures and pressures can cause significant, permanent damage to typical stainless steel aging cells. The Teflon® Liner is designed to prevent corrosive damage while still providing the same results as a standard aging cell.
The Teflon® Liner consists of a chamber for the test fluid and a floating piston that pressurizes the sample fluid when the aging cell is pressurized. Included is a T-screw that attaches to a hole in the piston and facilitates removal. A plug seals the hole in the piston during a test to prevent leakage.
