    摘要: A converter for enhancing power factor utilizes a line sense winding magnetically coupled to sense a voltage across a line inductor in the input of a high power factor power converter. This winding in the illustrative embodiment is typically a single turn. This winding provides a measurement of the derivative (with respect to time) of the line current, and a specially designed integrator connected to the winding provides the estimate of the line current. An integrator is operative to accurately estimate the current by using known properties of this current to prevent mismeasurement due to reconstructing the "constant of integration" and any small biases in the integrator which normally cause errors.

    摘要: A replaceable primary rupture disk placed in the main body of a cylindrical test chamber functions as a safety device and ruptures to relieve pressure from the chamber when the pressure exceeds a selected maximum value. A free piston that is moveable within the cylindrical to separate the chamber into two variable volume compartments is equipped with a replaceable secondary rupture disk that limits the pressure differential across the piston. The secondary disk ruptures at a pressure differential lower than that required to rupture the primary disk. The maximum pressure that can be contained in any chamber is a pressure equal to the sum of the secondary and primary rupture pressures. The maximum pressure that can be contained in one compartment, if the other is at atmospheric pressure, is the burst pressure of the secondary disk. Threaded end caps are provided with seals that disengage before the threads disengage to bleed down any trapped pressure in the chamber while simultaneously holding the caps to the chamber. Radial spanner wrench openings extending through the cap end are used for tightening and removing the cap and as handling attachment points when the chamber is hot.

    摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for measuring or analyzing dynamic and static sag caused by settling of weighting materials in drilling fluids or other solids bearing fluid. The apparatus comprises a tube and shear shaft assembly that allows for a controlled rate of shear to be applied to a sample of the fluid for testing. During a test, the assembly is placed on a pivotal holder at an angle. The assembly has pistons at the pivot center of the assembly which accommodate expansion and contraction of the test fluid due to changes in temperature and pressure, thereby allowing the test fluid to be heated, cooled and pressurized to simulate subterranean wellbore conditions without changing the center of mass of the test fluid. When weight material settles down the inclined assembly, the center of mass of the assembly changes resulting in changing torque or moment about the pivotal holder. The resultant moment is measured by energizing external coils arranged to provide a uniform magnetic field. The bulk average settling rate is determined using the measured coil current rate of change.

    摘要: A conventional fluid density balance beam measurement instrument used for measuring fluid density at atmospheric pressure is converted for use to measure fluid density at super-atmospheric pressure. The conversion is made without modifying the structure of the conventional instrument. A pressure lid, placed over the open mouth of the instrument's sample cup, is held in place by a removable retaining structure that wraps around the base of the cup. A screw ring at the top of the retainer applies a retaining pressure against the lid. Pressure is applied to the cup through a check valve stem extending through the lid. An adjustable flange on the rim of the lid permits the lid to advance into the cup to change the cup volume for sizing the cup to obtain a precisely known volume for measurement. A counterweight is removably connected to the balance beam to compensate for the weight added by the lid and retaining structure. A weight compartment in the counterweight permits the addition of small amounts of weight to calibrate the balance beam. The lid, retaining structure and counterweight are removable to return the instrument to its conventional configuration for normal atmospheric measurements.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the effectiveness and reaction time of a breaker fluid in breaking a filter cake on the wall of a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation is disclosed. The method comprises employing an apparatus, such as for example the apparatus of the invention with a filter medium and the capability of applying differential pressure or dynamic conditions to form a filter cake on the filter medium with drilling mud. Breaker fluid is then substituted for the drilling mud, preferably without damage to the filter cake. The quantity of breaker fluid passing across the filter medium under static conditions is monitored over time. An increase in the rate of fluid passing across or through the medium indicates break-up of the filter cake.
