The Lubricity Evaluation Monitor (LEM) is a laboratory device designed to evaluate lubricants by direct comparison. It determines the coefficient of friction between an interchangeable wellbore sample (casing, formation, sandstone, etc.) pressed against a rotating steel bob while immersed in a circulating cup of test fluid.

Features

  • Pneumatic ram applies side load pushing the bob against the sample
  • Periodic refresh of test fluid by pulling bob away from sample at definable intervals
  • Clamp allows samples of casing, formation, sandstone, etc. to be tested in the same fixture
  • Computerized data acquisition and control
  • Software
    - Operator inputs rotational speed, side load, and refresh period
    - Test archive provides access to historical data
    - Graphs rotational speed (RPM), torque (in-lb), side load (lb), and coefficient of friction with respect to time
