micro-XRCT data set of an in-situ flow experiment with an X-ray transparent flow cell

As a porous medium, a 3 mm cylindrical sandstone core from the County of Bentheim was investigated. The conceptual design of the cell was presented in Fusseis et al. (2014) and offers the possibility to apply a confining and backpressure, and to inject a pore fluid under X-ray radiation.

Two scans were performed. The first scan was performed on the dry sample. The second scan was performed after the sample was saturated with 3M KI solution (3 mol potassium iodide per liter distilled water) with a constant flow of 100 µl/s against a backpressure of 0.28 MPa.
