FRF - Overburden Rig

FRF - Liquid Permeability - Porosity @ stress

The rig is produced as a stand-alone unit and is ready for use. The following features are included

FRF - Overburden Rig

Hydraulic Confining Pressure system 0 - 700 bar (0 - 10,000 psi) using an air driven pump with a manual handle for fine adjustment of the confining pressure
Vacuum pump with liquid/gas membrane accumulator for easy loading and removal of core plugs from the core holder
Equipped with a selected number of RES-1250 bayonet quick release core holders, with electrical insulated end-pieces that allow FRF measurements to be made
The core holders are mounted on a panel for easy and safe operation
LCZ meter with digital display for multiple frequency FRF measurements
High accuracy liquid pump and three differential pressure transmitters for measuring individual liquid permeability vs. overburden pressure
Graded pipettes to measure individual pore volume (porosity) reduction vs. overburden pressure
The rig can be equipped with any number of core holders
A spares kit containing consumables and spare parts is also supplied
