Engineering Imaging Laboratory
The Engineering Imaging Laboratory, managed by Dr. Schechter, recently purchased a state-of-the-art Universal HD350E x-ray CT scanner. The scanner can scan samples as large as 75 cm with a spatial resolution of .25 mm. It is being used by researchers throughout Texas A&M.

The Universal
HD200 x-ray CT scanner is a high-precision instrument that can
measure the porosity, saturation, fluid density and
differentiation in a core sample or physical model during a
water or steam flood experiment. The scanner is a 4th
generation model with a 50 cm maximum gentry diameter, a
maximum scan speed of 2 sec, cross-sectional resolution of
0.27 mm x 0.27 mm. It has an automatic sample table with a
travel precision of 0.1 mm.
The state-of-the-art, high-resolution, forth-generation X-ray
CT scanner in this lab is used mainly for measurements of
porosity and saturations in cores and enhanced oil recovery
flood experiments. Petroleum Engineering and Chemical
Engineering share the scanner and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
equipment.
