SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION
Filtration and wall-building properties of drilling fluids and cement slurries are determined by a filter press. The 3 filtration rate is a measure of fluid loss measured in milliliters [1 milliliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cm )] under 100 pounds per square inch (psi) (690 kPa) of pressure through a special filter paper for 30 minutes. Wall-building characteristics are demonstrated by the thickness and consistency of the filter cake (the residue) deposited on the filter paper at the end of this period. The filter cake is measured to the closest 1/32" (0.8 mm). The low pressure filter press assemblies described in this booklet consists of a filter cell mounted in a frame, a pressure source, a filtering medium, and a graduated cylinder for receiving and measuring the filtrate. The filter cell, or drilling fluid cell, is constructed of rustproof anodized aluminum and chrome plated brass, or stainless steel. Pressure sources deliver the required 100 5 psi (690 35 kPa) and may consist of compressed nitrogen or air in cylinders, CO2 gas cartridges, high pressure air or water systems, or a dead-weight hydraulic pressure assembly. CAUTION DUE TO THE HAZARD OF EXPLOSION, COMPRESSED OXYGEN SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A PRESSURE SOURCE. The filtering medium normally is a filter paper that has been especially hardened for filtrate testing. The filtrate receiver is a 10 or 25 ml graduated cylinder. NOTE: A filtration Reduction Evaluation Device (FREAD) is available for use in the Model 300 filter presses. This device adapts the filter press cell to hold a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) porous ceramic filter which replaces the filter paper.

SECTION 2 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Safe operation of Filter Presses requires that the laboratory technician or drilling fluids engineer be familiar with the proper operation and potential hazards associated with this equipment. Pressurizing the drilling fluid sample cell poses the potential hazards of the cell or associated pressurization equipment leaking and releasing sample or pressurizing fluid which could cause serious injury. Several precautions that should be observed are listed below: 1 Always use either Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, or compressed air. Never connect the Filter Press to Oxygen, natural gas, or any other non-recommended gas. If Nitrogen is used it must be supplied from an approved Nitrogen gas cylinder. Nitrogen Cylinders must be secured and meet all safely standards. Carbon Dioxide is normally supplied in small cartridges which contain about 900 psi (6206 kPa) pressure. They are primarily used for field operations. Do not allow these cartridges to be heated or exposed to fire. They can explode if overheated. If compressed air is used, its maximum pressure should not exceed 150 psi (1035 kPa). Maintain pressure regulators in good condition. Never use oil on pressure regulators. Leaking pressurization systems should be repaired or replaced. Gauges, fittings and hoses should be kept in good condition and leaks should be found and corrected. Periodically test the safety relief valves on the pressurization manifolds to verify they will relieve if excessive pressure should occur. Never plug or bypass these safety valves. When pressurizing the Cell always make sure the regulator is closed (Tee screw backed all the way out, counterclockwise), then open the supply pressure, then adjust the regulator. Do not attempt to pressurize higher than 100 psi. (694 kPa). Follow the procedure as outlined in Section 3-A and 3-B. When de pressurizing, shut off the supply pressure, bleed the system of pressure, then back out the regulator Tee screw following the procedures in Section 4, Step 7 or Section 5, Step 8.

SECTION 3 FILTER PRESS PRESSURE SOURCES

A. CO2 CARTRIDGE PRESSURE SOURCE Follow this procedure to pressurize the filter press with a CO2 cartridge pressure source (Refer to Fig. 1) 1 Remove the barrel from the CO2 pressuring assembly and insert a fresh CO2 cartridge.

After making sure the safety bleeder valve is closed, and the regulator adjusting screw is backed out to the closed position (maximum outward), turn the barrel loosely with the fingers until first contact with the puncturing pin is felt. Advance the holder an additional 1/4 turn. The puncture pin, shown in Fig. 1, seals when the cartridge seats. Screw the adjusting screw into the regulator to apply 100 5 psi (690 kPa) pressure to the filter cell as indicated by the test pressure gauge. Start 30-minute timing now. CAUTION WHEN USING SYSTEMS WITH CO2 CARTRIDGES AS A PRESSURE SOURCE, NO INLET PRESSURE GAUGE OR VALVE IS USED. USE CARE WHEN REPLACING SPENT CO2 CARTRIDGES. THERE COULD BE SOME PRESSURE LEFT IN THE CARTRIDGE. KEEP CO2 CARTRIDGES AWAY FROM EXTREME HEAT.

B.

NITROGEN CYLINDER PRESSURE SOURCE Follow this procedure to pressurize the filter press with a Nitrogen cylinder pressure source (Refer to the assembly in Fig.2): 1 With the regulator adjusting screw backed out to the closed position (maximum outward), slowly open the pressure valve on the cylinder. The inlet pressure gauge should show the cylinder pressure. Be sure this is greater than 100 psi, (690 kPa). Be sure the hose between the cylinder regulator and the cell is all fittings are tight, and the safety-bleeder valve is closed. Screw the regulator adjusting screw into the regulator to apply 100 5 psi (690 kPa) pressure to the filter cell, as indicated by the test-pressure gauge. Start 30-minute timing now. CAUTION ALWAYS SCREW THE REGULATOR ADJUSTING SCREW TO ITS MAXIMUM OUTWARD POSITION BEFORE OPENING THE RELEASE VALVE ON THE PRESSURE SOURCE. IF THE FULL PRESSURE OF THE PRESSURE SOURCE IS RELEASED TO AN OPEN REGULATOR, THE REGULATOR IS PUT UNDER A SEVERE STRAIN. IF THIS CAUSES THE REGULATOR TO FAIL, THE FULL TANK PRESSURE IS RELEASED TO THE FILTER PRESS AND IT MAY BE DAMAGED. AS AN ADDED PRECAUTION, A SAFETY BLEEDER VALVE THAT RELEASES AT APPROXIMATELY 170 PSI IS PLACED IN THE SYSTEM BETWEEN THE REGULATOR AND THE FILTER PRESS.

C.

DEAD-WEIGHT-HYDRAULICS PRESSURE SOURCE The Dead-Weight-Hydraulic Filter Press is a Series 300 Filter Press equipped with a Dead-Weight Hydraulic Assembly. The Dead Weight Hydraulic Assembly is shown in Fig. 4. Follow this procedure to pressurize the filter press with the deadweight-hydraulic pressure source: 1 2 Fill the water reservoir and cylinder of the dead-weight assembly to the top with clean fresh water. Open the bleed-off valve and place the piston, with the weight attached, in the cylinder. Allow the piston to travel full stroke. Refill the reservoir with clean, fresh water and close the bleed-off valve. Set the unit in place on the filter press frame and tighten the attaching set screws, if not previously attached. Connect the air hose from the dead-weight assembly to the top cap pressure inlet, if not previously attached. Raise the weight to the top of its stroke and allow it to settle. In about two-thirds of the stroke, the delivery pressure gauge will indicate 100 psi. Lift the dead weight back to the top of the stroke. Start the timing of the test when the weight is released. One stroke of the piston will allow a maximum filtration loss of approximately 30 ml.

EXTERNAL PRESSURE SOURCE

Almost any compressed air source, with a reliable pressure of more than 100 psi, (690 kPa) is suitable to pressurize the filter press. However, there must be a suitable regulator, on this line so that the pressure to the cell can be regulated. A regulator such as 208615 or 208652 is suitable. A shutoff valve and a hose should be installed between the regulator and the filter press cell. Refer to Figs. 5 and 6 and the following Note. NOTE: The 208615 regulator is designed for maximum inlet pressures of 1000 psi, (6940 kPa.) and the 208652 regulator is designed for inlet pressures between 1000 psi (6940 kPa.) and 3000 psi (20820 kPa).

SECTION 4 STANDARD FILTER PRESS TEST PROCEDURES

Follow the steps in this procedure to operate the filter press with a compressed gas or dead-weight hydraulic pressure source: 1. Assemble the clean, dry parts of the filter cell in the following order Refer to Fig. 7: a. b. c. d. e. f. base cap rubber gasket screen a sheet of filter paper rubber gasket filter cell

2. Secure the cell to the base cap by rotating it clockwise. 3. Fill the cell with the test sample to within approximately 1/4" (6mm) of the top. (Filling the cell to this level lessens the volume of pressurizing gas required from the pressure source.) 4. Set the filter press cell assembly in place within the frame. 5. Check the top cap to make sure the rubber gasket is in place. Place the top cap, already connected to the pressure source, onto the filter cell and secure the cell in place with the T-screw. 6. Place a dry graduated cylinder under the filtrate tube, either on the support or in the clip. 7. Depending upon the pressure source being used, apply pressure to the cell following the appropriate pressure source procedure as outlined in Section 3. 8. At the end of 30 minutes (or 7-1/2 minutes - Refer to Note below), close the pressure source valve and back off the regulator, open the safety-bleeder valve. This releases the pressure on the entire system. 9. Measure the volume of filtrate collected in the graduated cylinder and record the filtrate loss in milliliters as the API (30 minute) filtrate loss of the drilling fluid, or milliliters x 2 for the 7-1/2 minute test.
NOTE: The amount of filtrate collected after 7-1/2 minutes can be noted and, when this amount is multiplied by two, it will give a rough estimate of the amount that will be collected in 30 minutes. The estimated valve is usually one or more milliliters short of the actual valve and this estimation procedure should not be attempted on drilling fluids having a filtrate loss of less than 5 ml in the 7-1/2 minute period. 10. Loosen the T-screw, remove the cell top, and then remove the cell from the frame. 11. Discard the drilling fluid. 12. Disassemble the filter cell and carefully remove the filter cake and filter paper from the base cap. 13. With a gentle steam of water (or, in the case of oil drilling fluids, with clean base oil), carefully wash excess drilling fluid from the cake. 14. Measure and record the thickness of the filter cake to the nearest 1/32" (0.8 mm). 15. If desired, record properties of the filter cake such as texture, hardness, flexibility, etc.

SECTION 5 FREAD FILTER PRESS TEST PROCEDURES

Follow this modified procedure if the FREAD ceramic disc adapter is to be used. Either compressed gas or the dead-weight-hydraulic unit can be used. 1. Assemble the Filtration Reduction Evaluation Device as follows, Refer to Fig. 8: a. b. c. d. e. Assemble the selected porosity ceramic filter disc into the Body Adapter (1). Assemble "O" ring seal (5) into the Body Adapter. Install Ring Seal (2) into Body Adapter fitting it over the "O" ring. Screw the Seal Nut (3) onto the Body Adapter (1) and tighten hand tight. Install "O" Ring (4) on the outside bottom of the Body Adapter.

2. Assemble the dry parts of the filter cell in the following order. Refer to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 omitting filter paper and screen from Fig. 7. a. b. c. d. e. base cap rubber gasket FREAD assembly. Refer to Procedure 1 above. rubber gasket filter cell Secure the cell to the base cap by rotating it clockwise.

3. Fill the cell with the test sample to within approximately 1/4" (6mm) of the top. (Filling the cell to this level lessens the pressure volume required from the pressure source.) 4 5 Set the filter press cell assembly in place within the frame. Check the top cap to make sure the rubber gasket is in place. Place the top cap, already connected to the pressure source, onto the filter cell and secure the cell in place with the T-screw. Place a dry graduated cylinder under the filtrate tube, either on the support or in the clip.

Depending upon the pressure source being used, apply pressure to the cell following the appropriate pressure sourceprocedure as outlined in Section 3. At the end of 30 minutes close the pressure source valve and back off the regulator, open the safetybleeder valve. This releases the pressure on the entire system. Measure the volume of filtrate collected in the graduated cylinder and record the filtrate loss in milliliters as the 30 minute filtrate loss of the drilling fluid using the FREAD adapter and the micron size of the filter used for the test.

10 Loosen the T-screw, remove the cell top, and then remove the cell from the frame. 11 Discard the drilling fluid. 12 Disassemble the filter cell and carefully remove the FREAD assembly with the cake. 13 With a gentle steam of water (or, in the case of oil drilling fluids, with diesel oil), carefully wash excess drilling fluid from the cake.
14 Measure and record the thickness of the filter cake to the nearest 1/32" (0.8 mm) and note that this test

used the FREAD.

SECTION 6 CARE OF EQUIPMENT

A. Cleaning After each use, the filter press cell should be disassembled and cleaned of all drilling fluid by washing and thoroughly rinsing. Wipe off the rest of the filter press, and dry all parts completely. Replace the filter paper on the screen, and assembly the end cap onto the cell. Loosely reassemble the cell onto the frame for storage. B. Pressure Regulator Maintenance and Repair Most regulator troubles are caused by leaking fittings or faulty pins and seats. Rarely does a diaphragm rupture. If regulator will not hold pressure, check the fittings which are screwed into it. This is done by applying pressure to the system and looking for escaping gas in the form of bubbles. There are two methods of doing this. One method is to apply soap suds to the fitting areas, the other is to carefully immerse all but the pressure gauge in a container of water. If leaks are apparent, disassemble and apply tape thread sealant to the threads. CAUTION DO NOT USE OIL BASED THREAD DOPE OR OIL WHEN ASSEMBLING ANY REGULATOR. Replacing the seat and pin. If regulator connections do not leak, the seat and pin probably need replacement. Use the following procedure. Refer to items on Fig. 5 and 6. 1 Using a wrench on the hex of the spring case, unscrew the spring case. All parts down to and including the diaphragm will remain in the spring case. Remove the thrust plate. Unscrew the retainer and remove the seat with the pin.

Clean and inspect the regulator for evidence of dirt or drilling fluid in the regulator body. An outlet filter (208626) is available to prevent this problem. Replace the pin and seat. Re-assemble the regulator.

5 6 C.

Dead Weight Hydraulic Unit Maintenance Always protect the mirror finish of the stainless steel piston, especially when removing it. Clean the fine mesh screen on the bottom of the water reservoir. If the piston moves sluggishly during a test, remove the piston and O-ring from the cylinder. Clean the O-ring groove in the cylinder. Examine the O-ring carefully for torn or rough places, and, if the surface is damaged, replace it with a new O-ring. Before replacing the O-ring and the piston, apply a light film of high-grade, water-repellent grease. In subfreezing weather, the water in the dead-weight assembly can be replaced by an anti-freeze solution such as propylene glycol and water; this does not adversely affect the operation of the unit.
