FANN 705 EC rolling furnace

Description

Fann roll ovens provide maturation (thermal aging) of solution samples for further analyses. High-temperature aging cells are placed inside the oven chamber, where they are heated and rotated (agitated) on drive rollers. Samples can also be heated without rotation (static maturation).

OFITE HPHT DYNAMIC dynamic filter press

Description

The filter press measures filtration volume and crusting characteristics under various well conditions. A motor-driven propeller shaft rotates at varying speeds inside a standard 500 ml HTHP cell. RPM settings from 1 to 3,600 rpm provide laminar or turbulent fluid flow inside the cell. By varying the length of the shaft, shear stress can be increased or decreased.
