HTHP Aging Cell

PZT-LAB-AC
HTHP aging cell — stainless steel pressure vessel with threaded lid and valve stem

The pressure vessel that makes roller-oven aging representative. Sealing a sample under pressure keeps the volatile phase in the fluid where it belongs — without it, an unpressurised sample simply boils off its water at temperature and the test measures the wrong thing entirely. Rated to 2,500 psi and 260 °C in SS 304/316 with a threaded cap and O-ring or metal-to-metal seal. Drops straight into a standard roller oven for dynamic aging, or stands for static.

Applications

  • Static and dynamic drilling mud aging tests
  • HPHT fluid stability evaluation
  • Additive effectiveness testing
  • Rheological property change measurement after aging
  • Laboratory R&D and QA/QC studies

Accessories Supplied

  • Pressure gauge, 0–3000 psi
  • Safety relief valve
  • Clamp assembly for secure setup
  • Replacement O-ring set
  • Supplied with user manual and test certificate

Safety Notes

  • High-pressure tested for laboratory use; optional relief valve available
  • Confirm the cell has cooled and depressurised before opening
  • Inspect O-rings and sealing faces before every run
