August 2018 Workgroup Activities Participants and venues OFITE conference room (6 members) Conference call (6 members) Key Activities Team discussed testing methods used in Phase 1 Identified that one main source of uncertainty may come from the calibration of the testing equipment Use of standardized material to isolate testing related factors from cement sample related factors
April 2018 Workgroup Activities Key Activities Two materials have been identified: Aluminum (E = 10 Mpsi; v=0.33) and Delrin (E < 0.5 Mpsi) A third material has been looked for in the between, with no success It has been proposed to serialize the calibration sample for further use: The objective could be to standardize the calibration of the testing equipment Calibration samples would be needed for all plug size Size received range from 1-in diameter to 6-in diameter The lab have provided with the size of the plugs they can test
August 2018 Workgroup Activities Key activities: Second source of uncertainty could come from the parallelism and perpendicularity of the plugs Third source of uncertainty could come from the sample saturation It has been proposed to prepare a listing of the information to be provided on a test for comparison purposes.
