HADES  is a triaxial-press able to mimick Earth environments up to 10 km depth. It can host 10 mm long by 5mm diameter rock samples and bring them to 100 MPa confining pressure under a temperature of 200 degC. It can also apply 200MPa axial stress and circulate any fluid within the tested rock.

KORE, also known as Perspehone, is the lover and counterpart of HADES. It is an upgraded triaxial-press with similar capacities to HADES but an axial stress able to easily reach 400 MPa. Sample are 20mm long for 10mm diameter and the rig is also equiped with 4 piezoelectric acoustic sensors. Two are in close contact of the sample while the remaining ones are satellite sensors excentered from the sample. KORE remains under comissioning but has already been succesfully tested. 

Hopkinson bars  study the dynamic behaviour of materials under high loading rates. High strain-rate deformation can be achieved (from 100 up-to 1000 1/s) with high force amplitude  (Fmax can go up-to 40 kN for aluminium bars and 90 kN for the steel bars)
