This document lists and compares rock testing techniques published by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) and ASTM International. It includes a table with 58 ISRM and ASTM test methods organized by technical description and laboratory determination. The tests measure various rock properties including strength, deformability, permeability, acoustic velocity, thermal properties, and more.
