Proppant crush tests are conducted to test the resistance of the proppants that are used during hydraulic fracturing operations. The test is done to determine the degradation characteristics of proppants crushed at a specific forces.
Interface’s 1101 Compression-Only Ultra Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is installed into the servo controlled load test frame. A stress load is applied to the crush cell, and the 1101 captures the force data. Data is displayed, graphed, and logged on the customer’s computer when connected to the INF-USB3 Universal Serial Bus Single Channel PC Interface Module.
Interface’s 1101 Compression-Only Ultra Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell successfully captured the force data during the proppant crush test experiment, and determined the proppant’s degradation characteristics at different forces applied.
