OCTG Connection Test Center I This unit has been designed to test the gas tightness of OCTG connections under combined loading. Tubulars up to 7" in diameter can be mounted using adapters and tested i
OCTG Connection Test Center II The RP V connection testing frame is the larger test facility designed to test the gas tightness of tubular connections under extreme conditions. The facility is also ca
OCTG Make-Up and Break-Out Center At the ITE, OCTG connections and threaded joints for pipe diameters up to 185/8” can be subjected to extreme torsional conditions (max. 80 kNm) using computer-control
High-pressure drop shape analysis system The high-pressure drop shape analysis system (HP-DSA) enables the evaluation of interfacial properties such as interfacial tension, wetting, and volumetric exp
Magnetic suspension balance The Magnetic Suspension Balance (MSB) is a gravimetric device with a wide range of applications in sorption and densitometry. The MSB enables the measurement of changes in
High-pressure flow cell The high-pressure flow cell is designed to test the diffusivity and permeability of gases—particularly H₂, CO₂, and CH₄—through porous media at elevated pressures and temperatu
High-pressure viscometer The high-pressure capillary viscometer is a tool designed to determine the viscosity of fluids under varying pressures and temperatures. Knowledge of viscosity under operating
analysis of gas behavior at the pore scale during underground storage is a central pillar of the Institute’s research activities. Microbial cultures, their biochemical interactions with mixtures, and their […] influence on gas composition are critical parameters that must be observed and quantified. The Institute of Subsurface Energy Systems is equipped with a high-quality, multifunctional, high-resolution,
