M9117 Capillary Pressure and Resistivity System
The Grace Instrument M9117 Capillary Pressure and
Resistivity System is designed to examine capillary
curves (both positive and negative) and check the
electrical resistivity index as a determination of core
sample saturation at reservoir conditions.
The system also includes a core holder made of
hydrophobic and hydrophilic ceramics and uses
electronodes patterns for resistivity measurement.
An automatic pumping system measures fluid
control, while a resistivity cell has been installed for
resistivity measurement.
Saturation and cementation exponents ("n" and
"m", respectively) as well as the formation factor
can be calcuated during testing.
