20110100113	Conductivity Cell Piston Extractor and Method - Embodiments of the invention include a proppant testing apparatus with a portable piston extractor and related methods. In one embodiment, a testing apparatus includes a test cell body in which an upper piston is constrained to vertically reciprocate within a test cavity. A laterally-extending width bar is coupled to the piston above the test cell body. A portable piston extractor is provided for freeing the stuck piston following testing. The piston extractor includes an extractor base removably supported on the test cell body and an extractor arm movably coupled to the extractor base. A drive mechanism is configured for driving the extractor arm into vertical engagement with the width bar, to raise the piston for extraction. In another embodiment, a set of gear boxes interconnected by shafts may be used to apply a uniform separation force between the piston and test cell body.	05-05-2011

20090306898	Testing Particulate Materials - Embodiments include an apparatus and method for testing a particulate material suitable for use as a proppant. According to one embodiment, a sample of the particulate material is captured in the cavity of a test vessel between a cavity wall and a piston sealed with the cavity wall. A fluid is flowed into the test vessel from a fluid inlet of the test vessel to wet the sample of particulate material. The fluid is pressurized to a target fluid pressure greater than ambient pressure and heated to a target temperature greater than ambient temperature. The piston is moved into direct contact with the particulate material with sufficient force to crush at least a portion of the particulate material while maintaining one or both of the target temperature and the target pressure for one or more test cycles. Each test cycle has a duration of at least about 120 seconds and as long as about 24 hours.	12-10-2009
