Abstract

An apparatus and method for determining fluid density and gel strength comprises a conduit (12) having two isolation diaphragms (13, 14) spaced vertically apart therealong, a pump means (10) for passing a fluid through said vertical conduit, and means for alternating flow and static conditions of the fluid in said conduit (12). The isolation diaphragms (13, 14) are connected through conduits (17, 18) containing noncompressive fluid with a differential pressure transducer (19). The pressure transducer (19) is connected to a gauge or other reporting and/or recording device (20) such that the true density of the fluid is determined by the pressure differential between the isolation diaphragms when the fluid is static and an estimation of the gel strength of the fluid is determined by the increase in the apparent density of the fluid during flow at low flow rates. <IMAGE>
