Method and apparatus for determining parameters of core samples

Abstract

Abstract 1. AN APPARATUS FOR MEASURING CERTAIN PARAMETERS OF A SUBSTANTIALLY CYLINDRICAL SAMPLE OF MATERIAL COMPRISING: A CELL COMPRISING A HOUSING HAVING A FIRST AND A SECOND END, SAID FIRST END HAVING AN OPENING THROUGH WHICH SAID SAMPLE IS RECEIVED, REMOVABLE MEANS FOR SEALING SAID OPENING IN SAID FIRST END, MEANS SLIDABLY AND SEALINGLY POSITIONED THROUGH AN OPENING IN SAID SECOND END OF SAID CELL AND ADAPTED TO BE MOVED INTO CONTACT WITH SAID SAMPLE WHEN SAID SAMPLE IS IN PLACE WITHIN SAID CELL, MEANS ACTUATED BY SAID SLIDABLE MEANS FOR DETERMINING THE LENGTH OF SAID SAMPLE, A MEANS WITHIN SAID CELL AT THE POINT WHERE SAID SLIDABLE MEANS CONTACTS SAID SAMPLE FOR MONITORING THE PRESSURE AT SAID POINT, AN ELASTIC SLEEVE WITHIN SAID CELL COMPLETELY SURROUNDING SAID SAMPLE WHEN SAID SAMPLE IS IN PLACE, MEANS FOR SUPPLYING FLUID TO SAID CELL BEHIND SAID SLEEVE TO EXPAND THE SLEEVE INTO A CONTACT WITH SAID SAMPLE, MEANS FOR CEASING FLUID FLOW BEHIND SAID SLEEVE WHEN PRESSURE BEHIND SAID SLEEVE REACHES A PREDETERMINED PRESSURE, AND MEANS FOR MEASURING THE AMOUNT OF FLUID REQUIRED TO REACH SAID PREDETERMINED PRESSURE.
