Application
The Borehole Geophysical Tools Testing Installations are designed for testing of borehole surveying tools for hydrostatic pressure and temperature. The tests can be conducted either in a single cycle or for each parameter (pressure, temperature) separately.
The Installations allow for testing of operating devices, modules, and systems. The data output is sent to the personal computer.

Additional specifications
Measuring and regulation of pressure and temperature parameters are done with the help of universal production equipment furnished with digital readout, set of sensors, and data acquisition facilities.
The data output is sent to the personal computer.
For HPC, there is an air-cooling option to minimize the testing period.
The pressure and temperature sensors are located strategically, to be easily replaceable.
The frontend (operational) HPC shutter design provides connection between the standard heads of the borehole tool being tested and the surface equipment.
The Installation is equipped with one pressure sensor, one manometer, and four temperature sensors.
The Installation has reciprocating phase separator which is connected to the HPC by the high pressure tubing and through the high pressure valve.
The frontend shutter design is customized additionally, depending on the performance specifications received from the Customer.
The Installation is equipped with one phase separator and one pump.
The Installation design allows for heating elements to be changed.
The Installation has remote control and regulation panel which is located in a safe working place. The high pressure pump is placed next to the control and regulation panel.
The control and regulation panel has light indication.
The Installation design ensures personnel safety while using electricity in operation.T
he HPC works with one frontend working shutter; in this case, the HPC backend serves as the dead-end. Both working shutters functioning is possible by agreement with the Customer.
Operational Requirements for Customer’s Premises
Requirements for the place: the location should be heated, ventilated, placed horizontally. The room should be located on the ground-floor.
The Installation’s HPC is to be placed in a pocket at a shallower angle to the horizontal, in accordance with the construction drawing.
The pocket for HPC installation should be constructed in the brick-laying form, by the Customer, in accordance with the construction drawing prepared by the Provider.
The room, where the Installation is to be placed and operated, should be equipped with canalization, water-supply line, and the 380V three-phase electrical mains with power of no less than 20kW.
Operator’s working area with control panel and high pressure pump should conform to the standard requirements of labor protection, fire safety, and industrial sanitation.
The Installation layout on-site containing the piping and cable lengths should be agreed on separately.
