Wireline sonic UCS relationship for coal measure rocks after Seedsman et al (2009).
This calculator uses wireline sonic logs to estimate Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) for coal measure rocks, following the empirical relationship published by Seedsman et al. (2009). By taking sonic velocity data directly from your geophysical wireline logs, it offers a rapid way to gauge rock strength without waiting for lab tests.
If you're working in coal measure strata and have access to sonic log data, this tool lets you easily convert those readings into a practical strength figure. It's especially useful in the early stages of exploration when you want a quick read on rock competency, or during operations to keep an eye on changing conditions. By turning velocity data into a straightforward UCS estimate, you can make more informed decisions about support design and risk management—giving you a heads-up on any potential issues before they escalate. And since it's all done online, there's no need for heavy-duty software or lengthy calculations.
The CMRR calculator aids in the evaluation of underground coal mine roof stability by providing a rating that combines rock core logging with visual assessment.
Calculate the rock mass quality using the Q-system, helping engineers determine support requirements and predict stability in tunneling and mining.
Convert point load strength index values to UCS for rocks using empirical correlations, facilitating quicker field assessments without extensive laboratory testing.
