Educational Gas Permeameter

Overview

The PMI Educational Gas Permeameter is designed for instructional use in universities and other teaching institutions. The instrument features a robust design suitable for repeated student use. It demonstrates the fundamental principles of gas permeability and helps students develop a deeper understanding of core analysis concepts.

  • Measured values are recorded and reported through PMI software.
  • Simple and quick sample setup.
  • The core holder is designed to minimize operator error during the sample loading process.
  • Designed to work with a variety of core samples.
  • The software fully controls the instrument during testing and also allows manual control when required.

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.

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.
