Hydro Frac System
Product Code : JA-RT-9851
The Hydro Frac System (SKU JA-RT-9851) is equipment for measuring rock stress by the hydraulic fracture test at near-surface and underground sites. Its compact tool can be placed in a section of test hole free of incipient weaknesses, so that measurements are made in a small volume of rock where stress gradients have little effect. It is designed to work to a depth of about 30 m without sophisticated downhole instrumentation. It is supplied by JaincoLab for rock mechanics and mining engineering departments.
Specifications
The system is a compact hydraulic fracturing tool for test holes to about 30 m depth; borehole diameter, pressure range and pump details are not listed in the product data and are confirmed on the quotation.
| Product | Hydro Frac System |
| SKU | JA-RT-9851 |
| Method | Hydraulic fracture (hydro frac) stress test |

Applications of the hydro frac system
Engineers seal off a sound section of the borehole with the tool, pressurise it until the rock fractures and use the breakdown and shut-in pressures to estimate the in-situ stresses.
- In-situ stress measurement by hydraulic fracturing
- Stress assessment for tunnels and underground openings
- Site investigation for dams and foundations
- Rock mechanics field training
- Mining and civil engineering research
