Abstract
Embodiments of the modular fracking ball assembly can include, but are not limited to, a measurement assembly, a shock absorbing layer, and an outer shell. The shock absorbing layer can encase the measurement assembly and the outer shell can encase the shock absorbing layer and the measurement assembly. The outer shell of the modular fracking ball assembly can be replaced with another outer shell when a change in parameters of the modular fracking ball assembly is needed. For instance, an overall diameter or a specific gravity of the modular fracking ball assembly can be changed by swapping outer shells.
