MetaRock will be at ARMA 2012 

Metarock is pleased to announce that we will be an exhibitor at ARMA 2012 in Chicago, IL, from June 24th to June 27th. Please stop by booth #8 to see our latest services and capabilities.

MetaRock was at 2010

We showcased our amazing automation and testing capabilities at booth# 9008. For information about our products and services email info@metarocklab.com.

MetaRock was at ARMA 2010
 
 
        A proud exhibitor at the 44th annual ARMA Symposium 2010, MetaRock highlighted its expertise and refined capabilities in the Geomechanics realm.

 
Acoustics Velocity Endcaps
 
 
        Improved acoustics velocity 
 transducers to measure rock dynamic properties in any stress path (Uniax, Triax). This solution enhances arrival time picks and minimizes p-converted mode over the shear measurement. Fully automated data acquisition control is imbedded in the control software to acquire velocity data at any specified criteria (stress/strain).    

10x improvement in Axial Strain Reading and Parentheses correction  
 
  To minimize platens corrections, an improved technique was implemented to zoom in the sample axial strain measurement and ignore the rest of the sample stack strain behavior. This technique minimized axial strain correction by a factor of 5 and demonstrated an excellent linear correlation between stress vs. strain in particular at the low stresses.  

In-house Design and Fabrication of Internal Load Cell    
 
  Hydrostatic pressure and temperature effects on deviatoric stress measurement could be misleading. An improved internal load cell was constructed to better quantify deviatoric stress (SigmaD) measurement and minimize unnecessary effects.  

New and Improved Cantilever Bridges . 
 
  Utilizing the strain gauges, wheatstone bridge, epoxy concepts an improved technique was developed to measure radial strain at high temperature (400⁰C). All necessary data is acquired real time to make the required pressure/temperature correction and display sample radial strain data real time. This measurement along with other measured variables is utilized to calculate static properties in real time.
