The Series 300 LPLT Filter Press is the most effective means of determining filtration properties of drilling fluids and cement slurries.

Measuring filtration behavior and wall-cake building characteristics of a mud is essential to drilling fluid control and treatment. The characteristics of filtrate, such as oil, water, or emulsion content are also important. The types and quantities of solids in the fluid and their physical and chemical interactions affect these characteristics. Temperature and pressure affect the physical and chemical interactions. Performing tests at both low pressure/low temperature and high pressure/high temperature is necessary, and these testing conditions require different equipment and techniques.
