ii. Ramp - This will increase the temperature up to the target in a set
number of minutes. You will be prompted for the ramp time and
target temperature.
iii. Step - This will increase the temperature up to the target as fast
as possible. You will be prompted for the target temperature.
The maximum temperature setpoint allowed is 400°F (204.4°C) on the
Model 2025 and 600°F (315.6°C) on the Model 2040.
b. Pressure - There are three types of pressure settings:
i. Hold - This will hold the current pressure for a set number of
minutes. You will be prompted for the hold time.
ii. Ramp - This will increase the pressure up to the target in a set
number of minutes. You will be prompted for the ram
iii. Step - This will increase the pressure up to the target as fast as
possible. You will be prompted for the target pressure.
The maximum pressure setpoint allowed is 25,000 PSI (172.4 MPa)
on the Model 2025 and 40,000 PSI (275.8 MPa) on the Model 2040.
c. Motor - There are three types of motor settings:
i. Motor Off - This will turn the motor off for a set number of
minutes. You will be prompted for the time period.
ii. Motor On - This will turn the motor on. You will be prompted for
the time period and target speed (RPM).
iii. Motor Cycling - This will vary the motor speed between two
targets. You will be prompted for the number of cycles (click the
“Innite Cycling” checkbox to allow cycling to continue until the
next step), two target speeds (RPM), and two time periods.
The maximum motor speed is 300 RPM.
d. Hold for Consistency - Every test will end when the slurry reaches
the consistency in the “Consistency #3” eld in the setup screen (see
page 29 for details). However, some test proles may nish all
steps before the slurry has completely thickened. When the Hold for
Consistency option is checked, the test will continue until the slurry
has reached the nal consistency. If this option is not checked, the
test will end when all the steps of the test prole are complete, even if
the nal consistency has not been reached.
