Advanced Pulse Decay Permeameter (APDP-10K)

The PMI Pulse Decay Permeameter is designed to fully automatically measure gas permeability of tight rocks, gas shale, or oil shale samples with ultra-low permeability. Gas permeability is determined using the pulse decay technique, which allows measurements that are faster and more accurate compared with the conventional steady-state method.

Overview

The PMI Pulse Decay Permeameter is designed to fully automatically measure gas permeability of tight rocks, gas shale, or oil shale samples with ultra-low permeability. Gas permeability is determined using the pulse decay technique, which allows measurements that are faster and more accurate compared with the conventional steady-state method.

  • Rapid and accurate determination of pulse decay permeability.
  • Confining pressuring up to 10,000 psi.
  • PMI software for system control and data acquisition.

Capillary Pressure by Porous Plate System CPS-2K

The PMI CPS-2K is a computer-controlled system designed for determining capillary pressure curves through the desaturation of single or multiple core samples using the classical porous plate method. The measured data can be used to calculate capillary pressure versus saturation curves and generate tabulated results.
