TESTING SERVICES FOR PREMIUM PERFORMANCE
The Significance of Proppant Quality
Materials Spec Labs offers API 19C proppant testing services. Whether you’re a producer, supplier, or operator, our testing ensures your materials meet or exceed API 19C specifications.
Proppants play a critical role in hydraulic fracturing, directly impacting the success of well stimulation. The size, shape, and durability of proppants are essential for maintaining permeability and ensuring efficient resource extraction. Substandard proppants or frac sand can lead to reduced well performance, operational delays, and higher costs. At Material Spec Labs, we ensure your materials meet strict industry standards, optimizing performance and reliability for your hydraulic fracturing operations.
Our API Hydraulic Fracturing Testing Services
Proppant Size Analysis
We measure and verify the particle size distribution of proppants to ensure they meet specified grading requirements. Proper sizing is critical for maintaining conductivity and optimizing hydraulic fracturing performance.
Sphericity and Roundness Testing
This test evaluates the shape of proppant particles, which impacts their ability to withstand stress and pack efficiently in fractures. High sphericity and roundness are essential for minimizing flow resistance.
Turbidity Testing
We assess the turbidity of proppants to determine the presence of fines and impurities. Low turbidity levels ensure cleaner, more effective performance in hydraulic fracturing fluids.
Crush Resistance Testing
This test determines the strength and durability of proppants under high-pressure conditions. Our analysis ensures the proppants can maintain structural integrity and conductivity during fracturing operations.
Acid Solubility Testing
We evaluate the solubility of proppants in acid to identify their resistance to chemical degradation. This ensures long-term stability and performance in acidic environments.
Bulk Density Testing
This test measures the bulk density of proppants to verify their packing characteristics and storage requirements. Proper density is critical for efficient transport and application in fracturing processes.
