State whether the following is true or false.
Thickening time for well cement is measured under downhole conditions of temperature and pressure.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: B

Correct answer: True

A well cement is placed at depths where the temperature may exceed 150 degrees and the pressure many hundreds of bar, both of which shorten the thickening time greatly. Testing at the surface would give a figure with no bearing on the job, so the consistometer reproduces the downhole schedule.
