| Abstract: | Abstract A method has been developed to measure the electrical conductivity of electrolyte saturated rocks under simulated lower crustal temperatures and pressures. The method uses a metal sleeved sample, and a guard-ring electrode system has been used to minimise leakage currents through the sleeve. Seals were developed to mate the metallic and ceramic parts of the cell. |
