Combined permeameter and porosimeter (AP-608)

Description

Used to evaluate the permeability and porosity of rock samples in the form of cores under hydrostatic conditions and specific stresses, such as those found in underground reservoirs. The device uses helium to calculate these parameters.

Technical specifications

Containment pressure: 500 – 10,000 psi; Porosity: 0.1 – 40%; Permeability: 0.001 mD – 10 000 mD; Sample: core 1 or 1.5″ in diameter and 1 to 4″ in length
