Filtration

Measurement of the filtration behavior and wall-cake-building characteristics of a drilling fluid or mud are fundamental to the treatment and control of a mud, as are the oil, water or emulsion content of the filtrate. These characteristics are affected by solid particles and emulsified water in the mud, by properties of the liquid phase and by temperature and pressure interactions of these various components.
