Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for testing the effects of one or more fluids on geologic materials; in one aspect a method for quantitatively determining the hydration and swelling behavior of shale core samples in response to one or to different fluids circulated around a core sample confined under pressure in a test cell; apparatuses for circulating such fluids and for conducting such tests; and an adjustable LVDT holder.
