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.
Overview
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.
- Customizable core holder with different lengths.
- Easy switching between operating fluids.
- Rapid and efficient saturation operation.
- Minimized displacement of the core during operation.
- Manual loading carrier designed for easy sample loading.
- Dead-volume blocks to minimize the volume of saturating fluid.
- User-friendly manual and software interface.
- Easy cleaning and flushing of saturation fluids.
- Minimal maintenance required after each operation.
- Customizable saturation cycle parameters.
- 316 stainless steel and Teflon can be used as wetted materials (upgrades available upon request).

Helium Porosimeter
The instrument is designed to accurately measure the effective porosity of plug-sized rock samples using Boyle's Law. The sample is placed in a sample cell.
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.
Educational Liquid Permeameter (ELP-100A)
The PMI Liquid Permeameter measures the steady-state permeability of plug-sized rock samples by flowing a single-phase liquid through the core sample. During testing, a core plug is placed in the core holder and the confining pressure is applied.
Educational Gas Permeameter
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.
