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.

Core Saturators

The PMI Automated Core Saturator is a completely automated system that can use various algorithms for proper saturation of multiple core samples using a vacuum to remove trapped air, and pressurizing pumps to make sure the cores are completely saturated, pressure pump can control pressurizing rates precisely and maintain pressures to within a 0.2% tolerance. The Windows based program provides totally automated execution of the test, data aquisition, data storage, and data management are all performed by the user-friendly software. Operator involvement is minimal and the robust machine requires a minimal amount of care.
