Foamy Oil PVT and Rheology Measurements (.pdf)
(Chemicals and Raw Materials)
From this Article:
"Foamy oil" phenomenon is associated with primary cold production, a non-thermal recovery process, from heavy-oil reservoirs producing under solution-gas drive mechanism. The "foamy oil" hypothesis...
High Speed, Small Sample Rheometric Screening Using the Cambridge Viscosity Viscometer (.pdf)
(Chemicals and Raw Materials)
From this Article:
Characterizing a fluid's rheology rapidly while using only a small amount of fluid (<2mL) is highly advantageous in many applications. Unfortunately, this has not historically been possible in most...
Lessons Learned: Viscosity Control for Converters (.pdf)
(Industrial Coatings and Sealants)
From this Article:
Pressroom environments are challenging. These challenges all too often translate to errors, and errors mean unhappy accountants and unhappy customers. Equipment advances solve some problems, but all...
Lubricant Viscosity Control for Gas Compressors
(Process Controllers)
From this Article:
If you're running one of the 140 working refineries in the US, the last thing you need is an unplanned shutdown. But a production standstill is exactly what is at risk if you don't keep an eye on the...
Single In-line Sensor for Viscosity, Density, and Temperature
(Density and Specific Gravity Sensing)
From this Article:
Cambridge Viscosity Announces ViscoDense The new ViscoDense® is a breakthrough 3-in-1 instrument providing instantaneous in-line measurement of viscosity, density, and temperature in one single...
Using In-process Viscometry Measurements to Predict Prepolymer Molecular Weight and to Control the Molecular Weight of Polyurethanes (.pdf)
(Industrial Coatings and Sealants)
From this Article:
Polyurethanes, which are prepared by the reaction of an isocyanate with a polyol, are commonly employed in a broad range of applications such as paints and inks. The physical properties and the...
When Oil is Struck VISCOlab PVT Helps Schlumberger DBR Technology Analyze It
(Solids and Powder Processing Equipment)
From this Article:
Some 15 years ago, DBR recognized that Cambridge Viscosity's technology had characteristics of significant value in analyzing live oil, including requiring very small sample volumes to produce highly...
