The procedures used do notconsider material variation, purpose for obtaining the data, special purpose studies, or any considerations for the users objectives;and

9、 it is common practice to increase or reduce significant digits of reported data to be commensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scope of this standard to consider significant digits used in analytical methods for engineering design.1.7 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded

Themathematical expression is: t 5L22L1!/L 0 (1)where:L1 and L2 = specimen lengths corresponding to temperatures T1 and T2, andL0 = the original specimen length at some reference temperature T0.Thermal change in length, (L2 L1), divided by the original length, L0, o

Summary of Test Methods4.1 The application of heat to a rock causes it to expand. This expansion divided by the original length of

25、 the rockspecimensspecimen is the thermal strain from which coefficients of expansion can be calculated. This standard covers two methodsfor measuring rock expansion. The primary difference between the two methods is in the type of dilatometer used.4.1.1 Test Method ITest Method IA is the procedure

26、used when making unconfined or bench top measurements. The methodand apparatus are similar to that described in Test Method E228. The rock specimenspecimens thermal displacement is measuredusing a dilatometer as shown in Fig. 1. The samplespecimen displacement is measured by a transducer located out

27、side the heatedarea of the sample;specimen; therefore, apparent strain due to apparatus expansion and contraction is minimized.4.1.2 Test Method IITest Method II B is most suited for the measurement of rock thermal strain under confined conditionsand employs a dilatometric device which is located in

28、side the heated zone, as shown in Fig. 2. This test method is most suited forthe measurement of rock thermal strain under confined conditions.Test Method B is amenable to confined thermal straindeterminations; however, confined tests may be most appropriate when:4.1.2.1 Pore pressure must be imposed

29、 in the pore space to maintain the liquid phase of water through the desired temperaturerange.4.1.2.2 The thermal strain of the rock is sensitive to confining stress.4.1.2.3 The specimen is fragile or friable, or both, and cannot be machined into the shapes required for Test Method A.4.2 In both tes

30、t methods, samplespecimen expansion is measured continuously as temperature is gradually increased or allowedto stabilize at discrete temperature points.5. Significance and Use5.1 Information concerning the thermal expansion characteristics of rocks is important in the design of any undergroundexcav

31、ation where the surrounding rock may be heated. Thermal strain causes thermal stresses which ultimately affect excavationD4535 132stability. Examples of applications where rock thermal strain is important include: nuclear waste repositories, underground powerstations, compressed air energy storage f

32、acilities, and geothermal energy facilities.5.2 The coefficient of thermal expansion or “alpha” or expansion, , of rock is known to vary as the temperature changes. Thesemethods provide continuous thermal strain values as a function of temperature, and therefore provide information on how alphathe c

33、oefficient of thermal expansion changes with temperature.5.3 Rocks are also often anisotropic, thus displaying different thermal strains depending on the orientation of strainmeasurement. These methods allow for measuring strain in one direction only. If anisotropy is expected, samplesspecimens with

34、different orientations should be prepared and tested.NOTE 1The quality of the result produced by this standard is dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it, and the suitability of theequipment and facilities used.Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice D3740 are generally consid

35、ered capable of competent and objective testing. Usersof this standard are cautioned that compliance with Practice D3740 does not in itself assure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors;Practice D3740 provides a means of evaluating some of those factors.5.4 Care should be exercise

36、d in the interpretation of thermal strain data of rocks with significant moisture content. Under certaintemperature and pressure conditions, steam may be produced in the pore space. Steam may cause errors because of microcrackproduction or changes in the pore pressure. The phase change from water to

37、 steam in the pore space can result in severalphenomena which complicate data analysis, as follows:5.4.1 Evolved steam may change the pore pressure and thus the effective stress in the rock, resulting in anomalous strainreadings.5.4.2 Losing all the moisture may dehydrate clays in the pore space and

38、 thus change expansion characteristics, especially inlayered rocks.5.5 The researcher using this standard must use best judgment as to how to make the thermal expansion measurement so thatit accurately represents the conditions in the field.5.6 Method II is amenable to confined thermal strain determ

39、inations. Confined tests may be most appropriate when:5.6.1 Pore pressure must be imposed in the pore space to maintain the liquid phase of water through the desired temperaturerange.5.6.2 The thermal strain of the rock is sensitive to confining stress.5.6.3 The sample is fragile or friable, or both

40、, and cannot be machined into the shapes required for Method I.6. Interferences6.1 Care should be exercised in the interpretation of thermal strain data of rocks with significant moisture content.

43、 judgment should be used when deciding how to make the thermal expansion measurement so that it accuratelyrepresents the conditions in the field.7. Apparatus7.1 Dilatometer:7.1.1 Test Method IAThe dilatometer used for bench measurements may be of the tube or rod type, as shown in Fig. 1.Thosecompone

44、nts of the dilatometer exposed to elevated temperatures should be fabricated of materials with coefficients of linearexpansion that are as small as practicable.7.1.2 Test Method IIBIn Method II the The entire dilatometer is exposed to elevated temperature. Therefore,temperature;therefore, transducer

45、s, rods, and other components should be fabricated of materials with low thermal expansions (forexpansions.For example, fused silica, and super invar).invar. When the apparatus is tested with a quartz calibration specimen, the apparatusstrain should be less than 20 % of the anticipated rock strain (

46、refer to Fig. 2).FIG. 2 Apparatus Commonly Used to Perform Confined (Method II) (Test Method B) Thermal Expansion MeasurementsD4535 1347.2 ExtensometerExtensometers measure length change. In principle, any accurate length measuring device with goodlong-term stability may be used; this includes inclu

47、ding dial gauges, linear variable differential transducers, or capacitivetransducers. Whichever device is selected, it must have sufficient resolution to measure 0.01 % samplespecimen strain (Refer toPractice E83).7.2.1 Those devices Devices used in Test Method IIB must be fabricated of materials th

48、at allow direct exposure of the deviceto the anticipated temperature. Also, transducer bodies should be vented for operation in a pressure environment. At least twotransducers are used, as shown in Fig. 2, and their outputs averaged.7.3 FurnaceThe furnace shall be large enough to contain the specime

49、n and apparatus and maintain uniform temperature alongthe axis of the specimen with variations no greater than 61C. The mean sample temperature shall be controlled within 61C.The use of a programmable temperature controller that can slowly increase or decrease samplespecimen temperatures at rates atleast as low as 0.1C/min is recommended.7.4 Temperature Measuring Instruments Thermocouples or platinum resistant thermometers are recommended. The exacttype will depend on the temperature range of interest. In general, the tempera
