The invention relates to the technical field of gas disaster prevention and control, and discloses an experiment and calculation method for accurately measuring the initial velocity of
coal seam gas
diffusion. According to the experimental method, a gas
diffusion space
volume measurement step is added, a
coal sample is loaded into a sample tube and subjected to vacuum degassing,
helium with set pressure is introduced into a fixed space, pressure values in different states are recorded, and the volume of the gas
diffusion space is accurately calculated in combination with a compression factor solved by a Lee-Kesler equation, so that the volume of the gas diffusion space is calculated. The problem of gas emission space volume inconsistency caused by
coal sample
physical property difference is solved. The calculation method is optimized, the accurately measured gas emission space volume is included, gas compression factors are considered, a compensation model is established, the idealized
hypothesis that gas is regarded as incompressible fluid in a traditional method is broken through, errors caused by volume difference and gas
compressibility are corrected, and the gas emission space volume is calculated. The accuracy and reliability of the calculation result of the initial velocity of coal seam gas diffusion are remarkably improved, and scientific data support is provided for coal and gas outburst risk judgment.
