Modular device for testing porous samples in presence of multiphase fluids

摘要

The testing device has a modular cell with a length which is adapted to match the length of the geological sample to be tested by use of a number of tubular sections (24) of identical or different lengths, fitted between a pair of end sleeves (1A, 1E). The end sleeves are associated with respective end fittings (13, 14) provided with semi-permeable membranes and fluid connections (15, 16) connected to a fluid pumping circuit, for testing the porosity, capillary pressure and saturation etc. of the geological sample.
