A test apparatus can measuring particle plugging of a simulated fracture. The test apparatus can include a first test component having a first surface and a second test component having a second surface. The second test component can be positionable relative to the first test component to create a simulated fracture between the first surface and the second surface. The test apparatus can include a visualization area of at least one of the first test component or the second test component can be positioned between a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet along at least a portion of the simulated fracture.

Test apparatus for measuring particle plugging of a simulated fracture

A cement testing apparatus has a pressure vessel system defining a first interior volume sealed from a second interior volume. The pressure vessel system has a confining pressure port in fluid communication with the first interior volume and a rebalance pressure port in fluid communication with the second interior volume. A cement sample container is provided within the first interior volume. A displacement indicator is coupled to move with deformation of a cement sample supported by the sample container. The displacement indicator has a first portion inside the first interior volume, a second portion inside the second interior volume, and a third portion traversing a space between the first and second interior volumes.
