The invention discloses an expansion
measuring cup and method suitable for shale and rock debris, the device comprises a cup body and a base, an annular clamping groove is formed in the base along the circumferential direction of the base, and the cup body is clamped with the base through the clamping groove; an auxiliary inserting hole is vertically formed in the base, a
metal rod is connected into the auxiliary inserting hole, and scale marks are further arranged on the cup body. The method comprises the following steps: placing a to-be-measured sample in the
measuring cup for compaction; recording the scale value of the to-be-measured sample at the moment; adding liquid into the container, immersing the whole
measuring cup into the liquid, and heating; after heating is completed, recording the scale value of the to-be-detected sample at the moment to obtain the expansion value of the liquid to the to-be-detected sample; replacing the liquid with
kerosene, and repeating the steps to obtain the expansion value of the
kerosene to the sample to be detected; and obtaining the
expansion rate of the to-be-detected sample based on the expansion value of the liquid to the to-be-detected sample and the expansion value of
kerosene to the to-be-detected sample. According to the method, the
swelling capacity of shale and rock debris can be measured more quickly and efficiently, and a large amount of test time is saved.
