Extreme Pressure & Lubricity Tester Model EP-212

Designed to measure the lubricating quality of drilling fluids

The RIGCHINA Model RCLT-212 Combination EP (Extreme Pressure) and Lubricity Tester is a high-quality instrument designed to measure the lubricating quality of drilling fluids, provide data to evaluate the type and quantity of lubricating additives that may be required, and predict wear rates of mechanical parts in known fluid systems.

EP tests are performed by applying a measured force with a torque arm to a torque-sensitive, rotating bearing cup. This provides a means of testing lubrication under extreme pressure conditions and produces an indication of the film strength of the fluid being tested.

EP/Lubricity Tester capabilities include:

• Measuring the lubricating quality of drilling fluids

• Providing data to evaluate the type and quantity of lubricating additives that may be required

• Predicting wear rates of mechanical parts in known fluid systems

Features and Specifications:

Maximum Torque:600 inch-pounds

Maximum Rotate Speed:1,000RPM

which translates into a 5,000 to 10,000 psig (34,470 to 68,940 kPa
