The Automated Permeability Plugging Apparatus Model 389AP (APPA) is a high pressure, high temperature instrument designed to perform permeability plugging tests. The 5000 psig rated APPA is ideal for predicting how a drilling fluid can form a permeable filter cake to seal off depleted or under pressure intervals.
Advantages
• Realistic and accurate downhole simulation
• Automatic pressure control
• Pressure applied from bottom, preventing solids settling that contributes to filtercake
• Designed for HPHT testing
• Allows use of filter media in various pore sizes
• Built-in heating chamber, hydraulic pump, and air pump
• Built-in resistance temperature detectors (RTDs)
• Nitrogen pressure regulator and oil pressure regulator on control panel
• Real-time data in graph
• Store test data
