Hoek Cell with Acoustic Measurement 1000 bar / 15 kpsi
In collaboration with Marie Violay from EPFL (Switzerland), Top Industrie has developed an innovative Hoek cell equipped with ultrasonic sensors. Designed for advanced rock testing, this cell integrates strain gauges and ultrasonic sensors to measure P and S waves, enabling precise analysis under high pressure.
