Automated Saturation of Core Samples
The Grace Instrument M9106 Automated Core Saturator System is a computer-controlled saturator used for performing a sequence of vacuum and saturation cycles on both plug and full diameter core samples (optional) automatically.

This apparatus uses a vacuum to remove trapped air and a high-pressure fluid pump to make sure the core samples are completely saturated.

Designed for Simple Operation and Minimal Maintenance
The Windows®-based program permits the operator to open or close the valves, start and stop the high-pressure pump and vacuum pump, and run automatic saturation cycles. Operator involvement is minimal, and the robust machine requires a minimal amount of maintenance.
