Claim 0:
1. A method for testing a sample in a centrifuge apparatus, the method comprising:
installing the sample in a sample chamber at least partially defined by a cell casing and a head of a piston of a test cell;
bringing the test cell to test pressure and test temperature with the head of the piston of the test cell in contact with an end piece of the test cell with the piston applying axial stress to the sample;
introducing an overburden fluid to the test cell around the sample chamber to apply an overburden pressure to the sample;
transferring fluid between a first reservoir inside a pressure boundary of the test cell and the sample through a sample line;
introducing a fluid between the piston head and the end piece of the test cell through a circulation line attached to the inner channel that extends from the stem of the piston through the second end piece, wherein the circulation line fluidly connects to a second reservoir inside the pressure boundary of the test cell and the sample chamber;
equilibrating the fluid sample;
performing at least one speed test on the fluid sample; and
feeding acoustic, electrical, and x-ray data gathered from sensors associated with the test cell or the centrifuge apparatus to a neural network.
