The steady state absolute liquid and gas permeameters accommodate hassler type core holders allowing quick sample loading and pressurizing since confining fluid does not need to be drained. The custom software allows for easy setup and pump control. The system monitors differential pressure and will indicate when steady state is reached. Software will complete the needed calculations and give real-time plots and readings for differential pressure and permeability.

The DCI liquid and gas permeameters use high quality components that will reduce maintenance and prevent down time. Differential pressure transducers have high differential proof pressures compared to reading range. Software continually monitors differential pressure and stops the pore pressure pump if pressure spikes unexpectedly, reducing the risk of damaged pressure transducers.  Back pressure is typically set using a dome loaded regulator. These regulators are easier to set and more precisely controlled than manual metering valves.
