APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING VOLUME STABILITY OF WELL CEMENT

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for determining a volume stability of well cement including a reaction kettle, a radial contraction, an expansion ring, a heater, a pressurizer, and a volume change parameter tester. The radial contraction and expansion ring include a first casing and a second casing, the first casing is a casing made of elastic material, the second casing is a steel casing, and the first casing sheathes the second casing. The heater and the pressurizer are used to provide a preset temperature and a preset pressure respectively and the volume change parameter tester is used to detect a radial volume change parameter of the well cement. The apparatus is provided with the radial contraction and expansion ring to acquire the radial volume change parameter of the well cement, and comprehensively evaluates the volume stability of the well cement using the radial volume change parameter of the well cement.
