Description

The fully automated ROCLAB system performs pore and bulk volume compressibility measurements of rock specimens at in-situ temperatures under hydrostatic stress, triaxial stress, or uniaxial strain control. The apparatus includes an axial-piston triaxial cell engineered to provide the deviatoric stress required to replicate downhole conditions well before actual rock failure occurs, along with three servo-controlled syringe pumps that independently regulate pore, radial, and axial pressures. A diametral extensometer is used to measure radial strain during compressibility tests, while three LVDT sensors capture radial deformations. An in-vessel strain-gaged load cell provides a direct measurement of the axial force applied to the specimen.
