What Is the HTHP Filter Press 175 ml?

The High Pressure High Temperature Filter Press is a specialized laboratory testing device used to measure fluid loss and filter cake characteristics of drilling fluids under extreme conditions. The 175 ml sample cup size makes it a globally accepted standard for HTHP filtration testing.

The HTHP Filter Press 175 ml allows users to expose drilling fluids to controlled high temperature and pressure, helping evaluate performance beyond conventional API filtration limits. This makes it an essential tool for modern drilling fluid laboratories working with complex well conditions.

Why HTHP Filtration Testing Is Critical

As drilling moves into deeper and more challenging reservoirs, standard filtration tests are no longer sufficient. Drilling fluid filtration testing under HTHP conditions plays a vital role in preventing operational risks and non-productive time.

Key benefits of HTHP filtration testing include:

Predicting fluid loss at elevated temperature and pressure
Evaluating filter cake quality and formation sealing behavior
Optimizing drilling fluid formulations for extreme environments
Reducing formation damage and differential sticking risks

By using HTHP filtration equipment, laboratories gain valuable insights into fluid performance before deployment in the field.
