Abstract

See full text

A mixture containing substances likely to settle or to flocculate is fed into a chamber (1a) of a body (1) delimited by a mobile piston (18) and a closed-circuit circulation of the mixture is established by means of a homogenization turbine (8) driven by a motor (28) associated with magnetic driving means (9, 26). According to the pressure and to the temperature, variations in the conductance of the mixture flowing between two electrodes (1, 16) connected to a measuring device (17) are measured on the one hand and variations in the driving torque applied to turbine (8) under the effect of the concomitant variations in the apparent viscosity of the mixture are measured on the other hand. The cell can be used to study of the conditions of formation of asphaltene deposits or flocculations in petroleum crudes for example.
