Dead Weight Filter Press

PZT-LAB-DWFP
Dead weight filter press with stacked calibrated weights above the mud cell

A filter press that applies test pressure through calibrated weights rather than regulated gas. Fewer consumables and no cylinder to source, which suits remote sites and mud plants where a reliable gas supply is inconvenient. The measurement is the same fluid-loss test; only the means of applying load differs.

Applications

  • Fluid-loss testing without a pressurised gas supply
  • Remote site and mud plant quality control
  • Evaluating filtration control additives such as PAC, CMC and starch
  • Detecting early signs of abnormal mud behaviour
  • Training and demonstration work

What's Included

  • Mud cell
  • Calibrated dead weights
  • Filtrate collection tube
  • Support stand and clamp
  • Filter paper
