What is Slurry Container or Slurry Cup?

Slurry container or slurry cup is container in an atmospheric or pressurized consistometer used to hold the slurry for conditioning purposes or for the thickening-time test. Source: API SPEC 10A, Specification for Cements and Materials for Well Cementing, Twenty-fourth Edition, December 2010. Global Standards (refer to IADC lexicon organization https://iadclexicon.org/slurry-container-or-slurry-cup/)

 What’s the category of slurry cup?

Slurry cups are mainly divided into two types: those for atmospheric consistometers and those for pressurized consistometers.

Atmospheric slurry cups are suitable for mixing substances under normal pressure conditions, meeting the stirring requirements of conventional working environments.

Pressurized slurry cups can operate stably in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, making them suitable for special mixing scenarios with higher pressure or high temperature requirements.

What materials are slurry cups made of?

They are mainly divided into copper and stainless steel.

Copper slurry cups offer excellent thermal conductivity, performing well in mixing processes that require efficient heat transfer.

Stainless slurry cups have superior corrosion resistance, making them suitable for mixing various corrosive substances and ensuring a longer service life in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.

What are the components of a slurry cup?

A slurry cup mainly consists of slurry cup sleeve, slurry cup base, base plug, lock ring.and is used in conjunction with components such as the paddle assembly, paddle drive block, and drive block assembly.

Are NITHONS slurry cups compatible with other brands of consistometers?

NITHONS slurry cups are designed and manufactured in full compliance with the API 10A standard. As an industry-recognized authoritative standard, paddle cups produced under this standard offer reliable performance, quality, and safety, meeting the stringent requirements for mixing equipment in related industries. They are suitable for mixing operations in fields such as petroleum and chemical engineering. As we know, all manufacturer produce slurry cups under API 10A standard, so they’ll be compatible.
