Filed:
Mar 6, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/490898
Inventors:

Assignee:
The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Interior - Washington DC
International Classification:

Abstract:
The invention is used to extract pore fluid from porous solids through a combination of mechanical compression and inert-gas injection and comprises a piston for axially compressing samples to force water out, and top and bottom drainage plates for capturing the exuded water and using inert gas to force water to exit when the limits of mechanical compression have been reached.
