Setup
Before beginning a test, the cement slurry should be fully conditioned
according to API specifications. While the cement is conditioning, begin
preparing the equipment for the test. The test should begin no more than five
minutes after the cement is conditioned.
1. Make sure all valves on the unit are closed.
2. Make sure all three regulators are closed by turning them fully counter-
clockwise.
3. Turn on the “Main Power” switch and wait for the PC to boot.
4.
Connect the back pressure regulator to the “Backflow Pressure” port on
the unit cabinet via the quick-connect hose.
5. Attach the tube to the back pressure regulator and feed it through the hole
in the unit cabinet.

stopper into the mouth of the filtrate flask and place the filtrate flask on the
left load stand.

Fill the second flask with 1,000 mL water and insert the second rubber
stopper. Connect another rubber tube from the filtrate flask to the water
collection flask and set the water collection flask next to two load stands.
