Autoclave
The borehole simulation autoclave developed by MeSy® is a unique test rig to cost-effectively test borehole probes and drilling tools at pressure conditions up to 150 MPa and temperatures up to 200 °C. The autoclave has an internal diameter of 165 mm (6-½ in.) and an effective length of 7.8 m, and is located underground in a 10-m-deep, 1.5-m-diameter borehole.
