ABSTRACT:
A cast virgin TEFLON liner is provided for steel test cylinders used in thermal testing of a sample of drilling mud or additives. The liner has a hollow cylindrical body closed at one end and open at the other. A disc-shaped lid fits inside the open end of the liner and an elastomeric o-ring makes a tight seal between the liner and lid. A threaded hole in the center of the lid is closed with threaded plug. The apparatus includes a threaded metal tool or puller with T-shaped handle, for removing the liner from the test cylinder, and also for removing the lid from the liner. An internal air passageway in the puller from a first opening in the tip end of the puller to a second opening on one side of the shaft allows the lid to be removed from the liner without creating a vaccum in the space between the sample and the lid. For removing the liner from the test cylinder, the threaded shaft is screwed into the lid such that the second opening is covered and thereby creates a vacuum between the sample and lid when the liner is pulled out of the test cylinder. The liner and lid are made of cast virgin TEFLON to avoid dangerous chemical reactions, e.g., oxidative reactions, with carbon particles in molded or reused TEFLON.
