Connect the power plug to an appropriately rated power source and receptacle. For user safety a power plug and mating receptacle are required. Note: This receptacle MUST be properly grounded.

9 Section 2 Operating Instructions Description of Valves and Switches Figure 1: Front Control Panel SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Figure 2: Valve Controls Timer (1) The Timer is used to record the thickening time of the cement slurry. The timer circuit and alarm circuits are interconnected. When a preset consistency value is reached, an alarm sounds and the timer is stopped. The timer may be restarted when the consistency drops below 90% of the preset consistency value. To reset the timer, push the ALARM RESET switch. The timer may also be reset by pushing the small circular button on the timer face. The timer will display in minutes and seconds.

10 2-2 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Timer Switch (2) The Timer Switch is used to start the timer. Recorder Switch (3) The Recorder Switch is used to provide power to the recorder and to begin recording. If the Recorder Switch is ON but the recorder does not power-up, verify that the ON/OFF switch on the recorder is turned ON. If the Recorder Switch is turned ON and there is power to the recorder, but the recorder does not collect data, press the REC button on the recorder to begin recording. Coolant Switch (4) The Coolant Switch is used to manually turn on the cooling water to the cylinder upon completion of a test. The cooling water to the magnetic drive is always ON and is not controlled by the coolant switch. If the automatic shutdown feature is ON, the cooling water to the cylinder will automatically be turned on when an alarm condition is present. Pump Switch (5) The Pump Switch is used to apply pressure to the cylinder during a test. The Pump Switch is turned ON until the desired pressure is reached and then turned OFF again. Heater Switch (6) The Heater Switch is used to provide power to the heaters and is used in conjunction with the temperature controller. However, no power is supplied to the heaters until the Heater Switch is placed in the ON position. Motor Switch (7) The Motor Switch is used to turn the motor on after the slurry cup has been placed in the instrument. The motor rotates at a fixed speed of 150 rpm, so the Motor Switch simply turns it on or off. Master Power Switch and Circuit Breaker (8) The Master Power Switch on the control panel of the unit controls the power to the control functions of the unit. The Master Power Switch is also a 3 Amp circuit breaker that can be reset by turning the OFF then ON again. Alarm Reset Switch (9) The Alarm Reset Switch is used to clear the alarm when an alarm condition is no longer present. Recorder Controls (10) The strip chart recorder is used to record slurry temperature and consistency. The chart speed is fixed at 60 millimeters per hour and is not influenced by power line frequency. Power to the strip chart recorder is controlled by a switch (3) on the instrument front panel.

11 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 2-3 Refer to the Yokogawa recorder manual for detailed instructions on the operation of this recorder. Model 7050 Temperature Controller (11) The Model 7050 Temperature Controller controls the 2500-Watt heater inside the test cell. The sample temperature is measured using the centerline thermocouple. The controller may be programmed in a variety of ways to stimulate actual well conditions. For the heater to function the Heater Switch (6) must be turned ON and the temperature controller must be operating. If a heat-up cycle must be stopped, the heater can be turned OFF by turning the Heater Switch to the OFF position or pressing the run/hold button on the controller until the light goes off. The three modes of operation of the temperature controller are as follows: Ramp and Soak Mode Multi-Set point Mode Manual Mode Please see the 7050 Temperature Controller Manual for further detailed instructions on the operation of the temperature controller. Consistency Display (12) The Consistency Display shows the current consistency value of the slurry being tested. The consistency is displayed in Bearden Units (Bc). The consistency display is equipped with circuitry that is used to sound an alarm and stop the timer when a user specified consistency is achieved. If the automatic shutdown feature is enabled, the alarm will also stop the motor and heater and start the flow of cooling water to the cylinder. As the slurry cup rotates about the paddle as detailed in API Specification 10, the resulting torque induced on the paddle by the slurry is measured using a potentiometer mechanism and a torsion spring. The angular deflection of the spring determines the cement consistency. Pressure Release Valve (13) The Pressure Release Valve is used to relieve pressure on the test cell. This valve vents the test cell back to the reservoir. It can be slowly cracked open during a test to relieve some pressure in the case of a pressure over-shoot condition, but this should be undertaken with extreme caution. Air Control Valve (14) The Air Control Valve is a three-way valve used to FILL the test cell and prime the pump, or EXHAUST the air pressure on the cell in preparation for blowing down the test cell. The third position is the AIR OFF position. Air-To-Cylinder Valve The Air-to-Cylinder Valve sends air pressure to the test cell to force the mineral oil back to the internal reservoir. This operation is known as blowing down the test cell.

12 2-4 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Auto-Shutdown Features The Models 7716/7720 include circuitry that can automatically end a thickening time test when a user selectable consistency value is reached. The automatic shutdown feature may be enabled by moving the slide switch below the thermocouple connection, at the rear of the control console, to its left-most position. Enabling the shutdown feature causes the motor and heater to stop and the flow of cylinder cooling water to start when an alarm condition occurs. Additionally, the timer is stopped and the audible alarm is activated. Preparing the Instrument for a Test Prior to running a test, the following steps must be performed. Configuring the Consistency Display The instructions for setting the Bearden Unit Alarm Level are listed below. 1. Remove the lid from the instrument. Press down on the flat spring-loaded middle part of the latch. The latch will fall forward. Press back on the top of latch and lift off lid. 2. Press the ON/OFF switch to the ON position on the main instrument panel. 3. Press the button on the left side of the consistency display s front panel labeled HIGH SET PT READ/RST. This will display the consistency alarm high set point. 3. While pressing the HIGH SET PT READ/RST button, adjust the small screw above the HIGH SET PT READ/RST button labeled ADJ until the desired alarm set point is reached. Clockwise rotation of the screw increases the alarm value while counterclockwise rotation decreases the alarm value. The alarm value may be set anywhere between 0 and 150 Bc. 4. Release the HIGH SET PT READ/RST button when the desired alarm level has been reached. The consistency alarm is now set. Note that the LOW SET PT READ/RST button is not used with this instrument. 5. Once the alarm is triggered it may be reset, by toggling the automatic shutdown switch located on the rear of the control console. Programming the Temperature Controller Program the temperature controller to the desired set point. (Following is a brief procedure for programming the controller. For complete instructions, see the Model 7050/7051 Temperature Controller Manual.) 1. Turn the instrument ON and verify that the Thermocouple is plugged in on the backside of the instrument. If the thermocouple is not attached to the instrument, the temperature controller will display S.Br (Signal Break). 2. Press (page) button until the ProG menu appears.

API Slurry Cup Preparation For an accurate thickening time test to be performed, it is important for the slurry cup to be properly maintained and prepared. The following procedure should serve as a guideline for slurry cup preparations. While assembling the slurry cup, refer to drawing in the Drawings section of this manual. 1. Thoroughly clean all parts and verify that all parts are in good condition. 2. Lightly grease all interior surfaces of the slurry cup with white lithium grease or the equivalent. 3. Install the diaphragm support ring, the diaphragm, and the diaphragm backup plate onto the paddle assembly. The diaphragm should be oriented so that the larger brass piece is at the top. Diaphragm Back-up Plate Diaphragm Diaphragm Support Ring 4. Slide the shear pin assembly onto the paddle shaft. Place the potentiometer mechanism on the paddle shaft until it seats. Using an Allen wrench, align the shear pin assembly into the bottom of the potentiometer mechanism and tighten the set screw to secure it in place. Remove the potentiometer mechanism from the paddle shaft.

14 2-6 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Shear Pin Assembly 5. Install the complete paddle assembly into the slurry cup. 6. Screw the diaphragm lock-down ring into the top of the slurry cup while checking to make sure the paddle turns freely. 7. Invert the slurry cup into the slurry cup support. 8. Prepare a cement slurry in accordance with API Spec 10. Caution: According to API specs: The cement has to be under test (under pressure) within 5 minutes of mixing. 9. Fill the cup with prepared cement slurry to the bottom of the threads. 10. Remove the plug (pivot) from the center of the bottom cap. 11. Replace the bottom cap without the plug. Slowly screw the cap into place and add cement through the hole if required. 12. Grease the plug and replace. 13. Rinse the exterior surfaces of the slurry cup. Running a Test 1. Remove the test cell plug, if it is not already removed from the previous test. 2. Attach the long bail through the holes on the top of the prepared slurry cup and insert it into the test cell, rotating it until the bottom pins engage the cup drive table. Remove the bail. 3. After the slurry cup is loaded into the cell, the potentiometer mechanism (pot. mech.) is pushed onto the slurry cup paddle shaft and the test cell contact pins. Attach the short bail to the top of the potentiometer and lower the pot mech into the test cell. When properly engaged, the top of the paddle shaft will be flush with the top of the torque measurement potentiometer bearing. Remove the bail. 4. Check to be certain that the slurry cup and pot mech are properly engaged. Turn the Motor Switch to ON. No rubbing noise should be heard.

15 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Screw the test cell plug into the cylinder by hand. The last turn of the plug seats the O- Ring seal and will offer slight resistance. Note: Do not over-tighten the test cell plug. Hand-tightening the plug is sufficient for a complete seal. 6. Slide the thermocouple through the test cell plug into the slurry cup paddle shaft. Start the threads of the sealing gland into the test cell plug, but do not tighten the thermocouple at this time. Verify that the thermocouple is plugged in at the rear of the instrument. 7. Next, fill the test cell with oil. To accomplish this, close the Pressure Release Valve, and turn the AIR/FILL Control Valve to the FILL position. When oil escapes from the top thermocouple high-pressure fitting, tighten the sealing gland with a 5/8 wrench. 8. Turn the Pump Switch to the ON position to apply the initial pressure to the test cell. When the pressure reaches the desired level, turn the Pump Switch to the OFF position. Adjust the pressure as required throughout the test by turning the Pump Switch ON to increase pressure or by slowly cracking open the Pressure Release Valve to relieve pressure. Use care to open the Pressure Release Valve slowly when attempting to bleed pressure. 9. To begin the test, press the buttons on the temperature controller to AUTO and RUN, turn the Heater Switch to the ON position, and start the timer. Once the desired set point has been reached the alarm will sound. Reset the alarm by pressing the Alarm Reset Button. Note: Be certain to turn the heater switch on the front panel of the instrument to the ON position. Turn the coolant control switch to ON if an external chiller is used. Note: Once a program has been entered into the controller it may be reused by pressing the Run/Hold button to run the program again. After the Test is Complete 1. Stop the Temperature Controller by pressing HOLD on the RUN/HOLD button on the controller, then turn the Heater Switch to the OFF position. 2. Press the Auto/Man button to place the controller in manual mode. 3. Use the Up/Down keys to change the output power percentage to 0.0%. 4. Turn the Timer switch on the front panel of the instrument to OFF. 5. Stop the motor by turning the Motor Switch to the OFF position. 6. Turn off the Pump switch. 7. Release the pressure. Verify that the Pump Switch is in the OFF position and OPEN the Pressure Release Valve all the way. Warning: When the temperature of the sample is above 212 F, leave at least 500 psig on the sample during cool-down. 8. Start cooling the cylinder by placing the Coolant Switch to the ON position. 9. After the cell has cooled and all of the pressure has been relieved, the test cell must be drained of oil. Turn the Air Control valve to the AIR/EXHAUST position and OPEN the

16 2-8 SECTION 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Pressure Release valve. OPEN the Air-to-Cylinder valve. When air is heard exhausting from the vent, the cylinder is blown down. 10.

23 SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE 3-7 Circuit Breaker And Fuses The Consistometer is protected with a combination of a Circuit Breaker and Fuses. The inlet 240 VAC or 120 VAC (120 VAC Option) is fused with a 2 AMP cartridge fuse. The 240 VAC voltage is stepped-down with a transformer to 120 VAC to operate all the instrumentation, solenoid valves, etc. in the Consistometer. The 120 VAC instrument power is fused with the MAIN POWER SWITCH on the Console panel. This power switch is also a Circuit Breaker. Reset the circuit breaker by turning off the switch, then on. The cause for failure for the fuses/circuit breaker must be corrected before attempting to operate the Consistometer again. The DC Motor Control Circuit also has two fuses that protect the motor circuit from overloading. The Line fuse is a BUSS ABC 6 and the Armature fuse is a BUSS MDA.50. The cause for failure of these fuses must be corrected before attempting to operate the motor again. The fuses are located at the rear of the instrument near the power cord. The instrument should be unplugged from the electrical outlet before attempting to change the fuses. Motor Removal and Service Note: The DC motor uses brushes that must be checked every 600 hours by the user. The brushes should be replaced when their length is less than ¼ (7 mm). 1. Remove the motor bracket mounting screws. 2. Remove the magnetic drive belt. 3. Remove the motor. Note the polarity of the DC power connections. 4. Remove the brushes from the motor and inspect for wear. Replace the brushes if necessary. 5. Lubricate the gear head on the motor with oil. SAE #50 - Non-detergent oil is recommended for use in this gear head. 6. Remove the oil plug and fill until oil is observed at the hole. Check the oil level every 4-5 months or every 600 hours of operation. Motor Control Circuit Adjustments The motor control circuit does not require any service operations for normal use. The following information is presented if the control circuit is replaced and requires adjustments. There are three adjustment potentiometers on the control circuit. These adjustment points are labeled MIN, MAX, and REG. The adjustments are performed with the belt removed from the motor pulley. A digital voltmeter and a digital tachometer are necessary for these adjustments. Note: The following adjustments involve high DC voltages. Only qualified personnel should attempt these adjustments. In most cases, the factory adjustments are adequate on a new control circuit.

24 3-8 SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE Warning: When measuring the motor speed, use caution to avoid the exposed electrical terminals, belt drives, and other potentially dangerous components within the unit. 1. Turn the MIN pot. fully counterclockwise, and turn the external speed adjustment pot. to the minimum speed position. The motor should be stopped. 2. Turn the external speed adjustment pot. fully clockwise. 3. Using a digital voltmeter, adjust MAX and REG pots until the following voltages are measured. Adjust MAX until 3.7 VDC is measured across terminals S1 & S2. Adjust REG until 112 VDC is measured across terminals A1 & A2. 4. Using a digital tachometer, adjust the external speed adjustment pot., until motor speed is 150 RPM (API Spec. 10). High Pressure Pump Service The High Pressure Pump used in the consistometer is an air-driven pump that uses mineral oil as a pressurizing medium. The pressure of the input air supply to the pump controls the outlet pressure of the pump. An air regulator and an electric solenoid valve on the air supply line control the input air supply pressure. As the air pressure to the pump is increased, the outlet fluid pressure from the pump increases. Service to the pump consists of the installation of seal kits available from Chandler Engineering. 1. Remove the pump from the system. 2. All parts removed from the pump should be cleaned in a suitable degreasing agent. 3. Inspect all moving parts for scratches or wear. Damaged parts must be replaced. 4. Replace all O-Rings when the pump is re-assembled. Air Drive Section 1. Disassemble the Air Drive section of the pump. Note: Care should be taken to prevent the spring behind the air piston from escaping. 2. Remove all O-Rings from the assembly and replace with O-Rings from kit. 3. The air piston, air barrel, cycling valve and sleeve should be re-lubricated on assembly with silicon grease. 4. Torque the tie rod nuts evenly to 50 inch-pounds. Hydraulic Section 1. Disassemble the Hydraulic section of the pump. 2. Remove all O-Rings from the assembly and replace with O-Rings from kit. 3. Use the following torque values during reassembly: Inlet Check Valve: 125 ft.lbs. Outlet Check Valve: 50 ft.lbs.

25 SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE 3-9 Calibration Procedures Consistency Display Calibration No calibration is required. Model 7050 Temperature Controller Calibration No calibration is normally required. Refer to the Model 7050 Manual for detailed instructions for operating the temperature controller. The calibration of the temperature controller may be checked using a thermocouple calibrator available from Chandler Engineering (p/n C09216). Temperature Controller Thermocouple The thermocouple cannot actually be calibrated. However, the calibration can be checked. If the thermocouple calibration check shows that the thermocouple is reading out of tolerance, it should be replaced. See API Specification 10 for thermocouple calibration requirements. The calibration of the thermocouple can be checked using a thermocouple calibrator available from Chandler Engineering (p/n C09216). Timer The calibration of the timer can be checked using a certified stopwatch. See API Specification 10 for timer calibration requirements. Potentiometer Mechanism Calibration If the resistor or torsion spring on the potentiometer is changed, the potentiometer will need to be calibrated. Refer to drawing for assistance while completing the steps below. 1. Connect the potentiometer calibration device to the connector on the rear of the control console. 2. Load the potentiometer with 400 grams. Tap on the calibrator until full deflection of the spring is achieved. The display should read 100 Bc. 3. If the display does not read 100 Bc, adjust the value by turning the calibration screw labeled as RECORDER SPAN on the rear of the control console. 4. When the display has been adjusted to read 100 Bc, remove the weights from the calibrator. 5. The hook of the calibrator weighs 50 grams and should provide a reading on the display of 9 Bc. 6. If the display does not read 9 Bc, the potentiometer mechanism requires adjustment. To adjust, perform the following steps: a. Loosen the 3 recessed screws on the bottom of the potentiometer mechanism. b. On the top of the potentiometer mechanism, slightly move part , the spring adjuster (see drawing). c. Tighten the screws on the bottom of the potentiometer mechanism. 7. Replace the potentiometer in the calibrator and repeat steps 2-6 until both the 100 Bc and 9 Bc values are reading correctly.
