ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for analyzing sag phenomena in well fluids wherein an elongate container containing a sample of a fluid to be tested is mounted at an angle with respect to vertical on a force responsive device which provides a measurable, variable indication of the center of mass of the container. The angle is chosen to correspond to that of a well deviation angle for which testing is to be done, and the sample may be subjected to heat and pressure to further simulate downhole conditions. The aforementioned indication provided by the force responsive device is repeatedly measured and functionally related to time.
