Abstract
A method and means for delivering the liquid generated by a coreflood experiment to test tubes and the gas so generated to a gas outlet. A mixture of gas and liquid is fed through an axially rotating tube extending through the central portion of a sealed chamber in which the test tubes are arranged in a circular path. The tube has a transversely extending delivery portion which deposits liquid into the test tubes, while gas is collected through a conduit leading from the chamber. The tube is incrementally rotated through a mechanism which allows fluid from the core sample to flow into the tube at the same back pressure under which the experiment takes place.
