LATEST NEW S First of all, a maximum test pressure (Pmax) is defined so that it does not exceed the in-situ minimum
stress, thus avoiding hzdraulic fracturing. The test is carried out at five stages including increasing

updated more applied for an interval of 10 miniutes while pumping water. Water pressure and flow rate are

updated more following pressure intervals:

1st 0.50 Pmax
2nd 0.75 Pmax
3rd Pmax
4th 0.75 Pmax
5th 0.50 Pmax
Using the average values of water presure and flow rate measured at each stage, the average
hydraulic conductivity of the rock mass can be determined. Following the empiricl original definition of
the test, the hzdraulic conductiviy is experessed in terms of Lugeon Unit, being the conductivity
required for a flow aret of 1 liter per minute per meter of the borehole interval under a constant
pressure of 1 MPa. The Lugeon value for each test is therefore calculated as follows and then an
average representative value is selected for the tested rock mass.
Lugeon Value = (q / L) x (P0 / P)
where
q - flow rate [lit/min]
L - Length of the borehole test interval [m]
P0 - reference pressure of 1 MPa [MPa]
P - Test pressure [MPa]
Considering a homogenous and isotropic condition, one Lugeon will be equal to 1.3e-7m/s. Contrary
to the continuum media, the hzdraulic conductivity of the rock mass is very much influenced by the
rock discontinuities. Therefore, the Lugeon value could represent not only the conductivity but also
the rock jointing condition. Typical range of Lugeon values and the corresponding rock condition is
indicated in th etable below [1]
