Description : The rock triaxial facility at the Department of Earth Sciences, IIT Bombay has undergone significant upgrades to enhance its research capabilities. High-pressure platens have been added, allowing for specimen testing at diameters of 38mm and 25.4mm. The upgraded facility now includes the capability to measure ultrasonic transmission velocities for both P-wave and S-wave, improving data collection on rock properties. A temperature control system has been incorporated, enabling triaxial testing at temperatures up to 100°C, which facilitates thermal-mechanical experiments. The addition of a syringe pump further enhances the setup, allowing for precise gas permeability measurements during testing. These enhancements provide a comprehensive approach to studying rock behavior under varied stress, temperature, and pressure conditions. The facility’s new features support a broader range of research, particularly in understanding rock deformation and permeability in complex environments. The in
