 What’s the function of paddle assembly for hpht consistometer?​

The paddle assembly for hpht consistometer(high pressure high temperature consistometer) is a core working component of the instruments and also a vulnerable and consumable part that needs to be kept in stock regularly. In the thickening experiment, its core function is to simulate the shear conditions in the real downhole working environment, ensuring the reliability and practicality of the test results. Specifically, the stirring paddle in the paddle assembly will rotate at a specific speed to fully mix the cement slurry in the slurry cup，accurately reproducing the shear force environment that the fluid is subjected to during cementing and drilling processes. This simulation can effectively eliminate the differences between the experimental environment and the on-site working conditions, thereby accurately capturing the thickening laws of the cementing slurry, including key parameters such as initial setting time, final setting time, and dynamic viscosity changes, providing precise data references for engineering practice.​

What components does the paddle assembly for hpht consistometer(high pressure high temperature consistometer) consist of?​

The paddle assembly is mainly composed of three parts: the central shaft, the paddle, and the elastic pin. Among them, the central shaft is a core supporting component, which is divided into two specifications: long shaft and short shaft, and can be selected and adapted according to experimental needs or equipment models; the paddle is a key structure for realizing the stirring function, and its shape and size are specially designed to ensure the accuracy of the stirring effect on the cement slurry and the shear simulation; the elastic pin plays a role in fixed connection, firmly assembling the paddle and the central shaft, and ensuring the stability of the components during high-speed rotation.​

Is Nithons paddle assembly competible with other brands?​

Nithons paddle assemblies are strictly designed in accordance with API standards and can be compatible with other brand instruments that meet API standards, such as Chandler pressurized consistometers model 1200, model 1250, OFITE consistometer Model 2040, Model 2025, Model 130 etc.​

Does Nithons keep paddle assembly in stock regularly?​

As a vulnerable and consumable part of the instruments, the paddle assembly is a frequently replaced component. Nithons usually keeps such accessories in stock regularly to ensure that customers can obtain replacement parts in a timely manner and avoid experiment interruption due to component damage. In case of special models or large demand, it is recommended to confirm the inventory status with the supplier in advance to facilitate stock preparation.
