Injection volume of drilling fluid

350ml/ea


The instrument consists of the following parts:

Drilling fluid cup: it is composed of drilling fluid cup body, top cover, cup bottom, filter screen, gasket, etc. As shown in Figure 1, the top cover 9 is usually connected with the instrument support by a compression screw.

Working principle

The instrument injects a certain amount of drilling fluid into the cylindrical drilling fluid cup, tightens the cup cover, connects the air source, adjusts the pressure to 0.69mpa, opens the vent valve, and the air source enters the drilling fluid cup. The filter area of the instrument is 45.60 ± 0.60cm2 (1 ± 0.1in2). Record the time of filtration, the amount of filtration after filtration and the prepared filter cake.
