I. Overview After the rock sample is saturated with a wetting fluid, the non-wetting fluid must overcome the capillary resistance of the rock to displace the wetting fluid. The smaller the capillary radius of the rock, the greater the measured resistance, and the higher the required breakthrough pressure. By gradually increasing the test pressure at the inlet under simulated formation conditions, when the pressure is sufficient to displace the saturated fluid in the rock sample, gas breakthrough can be observed at the outlet, and the breakthrough pressure of the rock sample can be measured. According to the Poiseuille (1949) formula, the time it takes for the gas to travel from the base to the top of the overlying layer is calculated as the breakthrough time. This device is suitable for measuring the breakthrough pressure of dense sandstone, mudstone, and carbonate rock samples. Other salt, gypsum, tuff, and similar samples can also be used as a reference. II.
