The AutoLab Rock Physics Workstation is a versatile servo-hydraulic apparatus designed to acquire commonly utilized rock physics data. The apparatus has two sections: a uniaxial stress test frame and a hydrostatic pressure vessel. The servo hydraulically controlled test frame is well suited for measuring unconfined compressive strength, elastic constants compressional and shear wave velocities, fracture toughness, and Brazil indirect tensile strength. An AutoLab 1000 is incorporated into the unit.
