CO2-Brine centrifuge coreholders for CO2-brine capillary pressure determination
Description
The CO₂ overburden coreholders for the RC4500 centrifuge enable the measurement of capillary pressure data on core samples under both pore and confining pressures at reservoir temperature. These coreholders are essential for studying the capillary pressure of binary brine/CO₂ systems in carbon storage research, as maintaining a stable pore pressure is crucial due to the presence of CO₂. Each coreholder features a sapphire tube and a high-pressure needle valve, ensuring durability and the ability to withstand high-pressure conditions during testing.
