Software Upgrades Enhance High-Pressure Viscometer for Supercritical Fluids
Dec 18 2011
Cambridge Viscosity (USA) has just released a new version 2.0 of its well-known PVT software. The Version 2.0 release features numerous enhancements designed to make viscosity testing of oil, gas and supercritical fluids easier and more efficient. Users can now save graph images in a variety of image formats, including a “Save Window” feature; use time zoom, pause and “add comment” graph functions; and extend graphing colors and settings.
The software optimises Cambridge’s VISCOlab PVT, the leading viscosity measurement system for high pressure and high temperature viscosity analysis. This system combines the VISCOpro processor with an advanced SPL440 sensor. The system employs an integrated recirculating bath that controls temperatures from -20° C to 190° C, while minimising warm-up time and space requirements. The system also incorporates a simple three-valve plumbing configuration to control sample flow, and includes horizontal, 45-degree, and vertical configurations for ease of operation. Mercury-free, the sensor requires only 5 ml of sample. The VISCOlab PVT is used to test viscosity temperature in a variety of applications, including oil exploration, research, and recovery; gas and gas condensates; core analysis; phase behavior; supercritical fluids; and other complex applications.
Other new features include Windows 7 (32bit and 64bit) compatibility (also compatible with Windows XP), the flexibility to allow an adjustable number of decimals displayed in measurements, automatic monitor mode at bath wake-up, an enhanced bath and pressure configuration setup command on the PC interface, and logging interval adjustment on the PC.
