Investigation of polymer material of the working camera-channel of the magnetic pumps for heavy oil

Abstract

The article contains results the study of the basic properties of fluorinated polymers used as matrix in the manufacture of magnetically active elastomers (MAE). MAE belong to the group of so-called smart materials, they can be used in the creation of new techniques and technologies. Environments, which is in contact with an element of the MAE, specifically high viscosity asphaltenic oil impose substantial restrictions on the choice of the polymer matrix for its production, taking into consideration the influence of the material selected to modify the rheological properties of the resultant material. The use of magnetically active materials in the system instead of a roller system, pressing on the tube with the substance, and to push it forward will significantly expand the range of application of such equipment. Additionally, the magnetic treatment reduces the viscosity, the limit shear stress and the activation energy of the viscous flow of oil.
