The effect of thermal damage on the electrical resistivity of sandstone

In order to study the effect of thermal damage on the electrical property of sandstone, an electrical resistivity test is carried out with an electrical instrument. The prepared cylindrical samples are successively heated to target temperatures (i.e. 100 °C, 200 °C, 300 °C, 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C, 700 °C and 800 °C) at a fixed slow rate and gradually cooled down to room temperature at the same rate. The test results show that the resistivity of...
