Aging test cell 276-50

The Hastelloy Aging Cell Model 276-50 pressure vessel, certified for 850℉ (450℃) and 3200 psi (22,000 kPa) The aging cells are designed to be used with RIGCHINA Roller Oven. It be found in API 13B-1 and 13I. 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. Aging is done under conditions which vary from static to dynamic and from ambient to highly elevated temperatures. Most drilling fluid formulations contain a base liquid and additives which must be dissolved or mechanically dispersed into the liquid to form a homogenous fluid. The resulting fluid may contain one or more of the following: 1. Water-dispersible (soluble) polymers or resins 2. Clays or other insoluble but dispersible fine solids 3. Soluble salts The fluids are mixed or sheared for times appropriate to achieve a homogenous mixture and are then set aside to age.
