Pressure Plate Extractor
Pressure Plate Extractor
US Patent:
6718835, Apr 13, 2004
Filed:
Sep 23, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/252285
Inventors:
Xiaodong Wang - Madison WI
Craig Herbert Benson - Verona WI
Craig Herbert Benson - Verona WI
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
G01N 3300
US Classification:
73866, 73 38, 73 76, 73 73, 73866 G
Abstract:
A pressure plate extractor for testing of soils and other porous solids has a pressure chamber defined by pressure chamber sidewalls resting above a pressure chamber base. A drain plate is situated on the pressure chamber base with its bounding edge surrounded by a seal and situated inwardly from the pressure chamber sidewalls, which rest atop the seal. When the pressure chamber sidewalls are urged towards the pressure chamber base, thereby compressing the seal and preventing air from passing between the pressure chamber sidewalls and pressure chamber base, the seal laterally expands to firmly engage the bounding edge of the drain plate, thereby preventing air from passing between the pressure chamber sidewalls and the drain plate. A substantially leak-free pressure chamber results, with low probability of drain plate failure because the pressure chamber sidewalls do not bear directly upon it.

US Patent:
2014000, Jan 9, 2014
Filed:
Jul 5, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/542390
Inventors:
Craig H. Benson - Verona WI, US

International Classification:
E21B 33/14
US Classification:
166293, 166206
Abstract:
Casing assemblies and methods of using the casing assemblies to isolate selected sections of a subterranean wellbore are provided. Also provided are methods of fabricating the casing assemblies. The casing assemblies comprise one or more water-swellable tubular collars disposed around the exterior surface of a conduit, such as a wellbore casing. The water-swellable collars are formed from a material comprising sodium bentonite, a swelling inhibitor and reinforcing fibers.

Apparatus And Method For Testing The Hydraulic Conductivity Of Geologic Materials
US Patent:
6178808, Jan 30, 2001
Filed:
Aug 12, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/372970
Inventors:
Xiaodong Wang - Madison WI
Craig H. Benson - Verona WI
Craig H. Benson - Verona WI
Assignee:
Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation - Madison WI
International Classification:
G01N 1508
US Classification:
73 38
Abstract:
A method for measuring hydraulic conductivity of geological samples using a closed volume pumping system that ensures constant volume of test liquid within the sample and a shaped tube of mercury to provide a constant pressure difference across the sample to eliminate second order influences on the hydraulic conductivity measurement and to speed measurement.
