FTC-series Flow through SDS cell
Description
The FTC series cell is a critical component of the Vinci Solid Detection System which identifies the presence of solid particles (asphaltenes and paraffins) in hydrocarbon samples under realistic production conditions, i.e. pressure, temperature and shear. The cells are mostly used in deposition flow loops to investigate the effects of flow rate, inhibitor concentration, temperature and pressure on solid precipitation and deposition. The cell can be described as a pressure vessel equipped with fluid inlet and outlet axial ports and two lateral ports to mount the SDS’s optical fibers.
