Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of stress relief method for geostress testing in hydropower and water conservancy projects, and specifically relates to a rock core calibration device for stress relief method geostress testing. Background Technology

[0002] In stress relief testing, obtaining the elastic modulus of the rock core at the test section is necessary. There are generally two methods: one is to take core samples from near the test section, bring them back to the laboratory, and conduct rock deformation tests on a pressure testing machine to measure the elastic modulus; the other method is to directly calibrate the elastic modulus of the rock core retrieved from the borehole with a stress relief test probe in-situ. The laboratory method of obtaining the elastic modulus through core sample deformation tests will result in parameters that differ from the actual measured section because the core samples are not from the same test section. In-situ calibration of the elastic modulus using a rock core with a stress relief test probe is more accurate and efficient.

[0003] When performing core calibration on-site, a steel cylinder is typically used, with a rubber sleeve embedded inside. The rubber sleeve is sealed and secured at both ends with nearly 20 bolts. The core is then placed inside the rubber sleeve, and a hand pump is used to pressurize the sleeve from the outside to measure the core's elastic modulus. This conventional method suffers from insufficient pressure control with the hand pump, uneven pressurization rates, and a tendency to over-pressurize. Furthermore, the method of securing the rubber sleeve with dozens of bolts is cumbersome to disassemble, prone to incomplete tightening, and susceptible to oil leaks. Utility Model Content

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a core calibration device for stress relief method in-situ stress testing, including: core calibration component 600, pressurization device and data acquisition device;

[0031] The core calibration assembly 600 includes a main pressure-bearing steel pipe 1, a reinforcing rubber sleeve 3, an upper clamping cap ring 4, and a lower fastening cap ring 5.
