Manual Core Saturator
The PMI Manual Core Saturator is designed to perform a sequence of vacuum, saturation, and depressurization cycles on multiple plug-sized samples or full-diameter samples.
The apparatus includes a saturation cell, a vacuum pump, a hand-operated pressure pump, a feed tank, a pressure gauge for measuring saturation pressure, and the necessary hand-operated valves and plumbing. Dead-volume blocks are provided to reduce the required saturation fluid volume when the sample does not completely fill the saturation cell.
Specifications:
| Max saturating pressure | 2,000 psi |
| Saturation cell diameter | 2 inches |
| Saturation cell length | 12 inches |
| Cell wetted material | Aluminium |
| Saturating fluid | Water, brine, oil, or other liquids available upon customer request |
| Power | 110/220 VAC, 50/60 Hz (for the vacuum pump) |
| Size | 24 in (W) × 18 in (D) × 22 in (H) |
