BROKEN ARROW, OK – The Chandler Engineering Model 5600-AUTO Shear History Simulator greatly simplifies the process of preparing and loading water-based fracturing fluids into rotational viscometers.
The rheology of fracturing fluids used by the oil and gas industry is affected by a range of factors and conditions, and shear history simulators have proven especially useful for determining how well these fluids perform in transporting proppants.
The process begins with a gel-based fluid that is placed into a pressurized
