  • Patent number: 10197491
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring porosity of a rock according to the present invention including: (a) capturing a first image by using SEM with respect to a rock sample; (b) determining a first area of a portion determined to be a heavy mineral in the first image; (c) immersing the rock sample in an aqueous solution in which a gadolinium compound is dissolved in that the aqueous solution flows into pores and the gadolinium compound is deposited in pores inside the rock sample; (d) capturing a second image by using SEM with respect to the rock sample; and (e) determining a second area of a portion determined as a heavy mineral and a pore in the second image, and then subtracting the first area from the second area to determine an area of pores in the rock sample.

  • Publication number: 20130251095
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for measuring a sample pore using a computed tomography (CT) and a standard sample and to a method thereof, more particularly to a system for measuring a sample pore using a computed tomography (CT) and a standard sample and to a method thereof, wherein the number of pixels in the count range of a cross-sectional image of the measurement sample and the number of pixels corresponding to the gray level range of the pore are calculated with reference to the count range utilized in the cross-sectional image of the standard sample and the gray level range of the pore so as to accurately measure the porosity of the measurement sample after performing a CT scan of the standard sample and the measurement sample together using a CT scanner.
