CAUTION
3. If a double closure cell is being used, assemble the non-filtering cap and valve
stem to the cell and tighten securely
4. For a single closure cell, assemble and tighten the valve stem to the cell.
5. With the open end of the cell up, fill the cell with the sample to be tested. Take
care not to fill the cell to closer than inch (2 cm) from the top.
6. Position the filter on the O-ring in the cell body.
If a permanently attached screen cap and standard filter paper is
to be used, place a filter paper disc on the O-ring in the cell body.
-2-
If one of the removable screens is to be used, place it course side
up on the O-ring in the cell body.
If a ceramic disc filter is being used place it on the O-ring in the
cell body.
7. Assemble the cap and valve stem to the cell and tighten securely.
8. Place the cell in the heating jacket with both the top and bottom valves closed.
9. Using the set screws in the anti-rotation ring on the top of the heater, tighten set
screws against the flats on the outside of the pressure vessel. This prevents
vessel rotation when tightening or loosening stem valves.
10. Transfer the thermocouple to the filter cell.
Pressurization
1. For the 500ml cell, assemble the high pressure manifold to a nitrogen
pressurization source. If a nitrogen cylinder is used, screw the gland nut into the
cylinder valve and tighten securely.
2. For the 175ml cell, assemble the CO2 manifold to the cell and attach with the
locking pin.
3. Ensure that the pressure regulators are in the closed (non-pressurized) position.
Turn the regulator handles counterclockwise.
4. For the 500 ml cell, attach the end of the high-pressure hose (hose connected to
the 1500 psig gauge on the left side of the manifold) to the cell upper valve stem.
Slip the stem adapter over the end of the valve stem and secure by inserting the
locking pin.
7. Install the back pressure receiver onto the cell lower valve stem and insert the
locking pin. Make sure the drain valve on the back pressure receiver is closed.
8. Attached the high pressure hose (hose connected to the 1000-psig gauge on the
right side of the manifold) to the inlet of the back pressure receiver and tighten
securely.

9. Turn the handle on the left-hand regulator clockwise until the desired cell
pressure is registered on the gauge.
10. Turn the handle on the right-hand regulator clockwise until the desired back
pressure is registered on the gauge.
1. Open the upper valve stem on the cell turn to pressurize the cell. Readjust the
regulators if required.
3. When the sample reaches the desired temperature, set the timer for the desired
test time and open the lower cell valve stem.
4. Collect filtrate for 30 minutes or the desired time. If desired, record the spurt loss
after 2 seconds. If the back pressure (receiver pressure) goes above 100 psig,
slowly release the pressure by collecting a portion of the filtrate.
6. Correct the filtrate volume by multiplying the total volume collected by 2. Record
the corrected filtrate volume on the API Drilling Fluid Report Form as ml/30-min.

Test Conclusion, Shut down and Disassembly
4. Open the bleeder valve on the stem adapter and the back pressure receiver to
de-pressurize the system.
5. Open the drain valve on the back pressure receiver to collect any remaining
filtrate.
6. Remove the upper valve stem locking pin and stem adapter.
7. Remove the lower valve stem locking pin and the back pressure receiver.
CAUTION
The filter cell still contains about 500 psig and is hot.
The temperature of the cell must be reduced to less then
200F before the cell can be safely opened.
8. The pressurized cell may be cooled in the heating jacket by connecting the
cooling coils to a source of normal tap water (500ml jacket only). Circulating tap
water through the cooling coils will greatly reduce the time required for cooling.
The cell may also be removed form the heating jacket for air-cooling.
9. After the cell and the sample in the cell are cool, the cell may be opened.
WARNING
10. Make sure that the valve stem is pointed away. Open the upper valve stem (the
valve on the cell end opposite from the filter) about turn releasing the
remaining pressure.
11. Unscrew and remove the end cap from the cell.
-5-
12. The sample may now be removed from the cell and analyzed.

Temperature Controller Settings
Temperature controller parameters are set at the factory and should never need to be
changed. Parameters include PID, time, minimum and maximum settings. If these are
changed for any reason the controller will not be able to perform as intended and may
not heat the fluid loss cell as expected. The following parameter settings should be
verified if a heating problem exists. Never forget to leave out the thermocouple from the
cell and always double check that the power cables are fully seated into the connector
sockets.
