Abstract
Flow measurements in 0.5 m-sections in the D-boreholes at Stripa were performed by Swedish Geological Company during February to April 1991. The purpose of the measurements was to determine in detail the inflow to an array of boreholes through an undisturbed volume of fractured granite. A lower measurement limit of 1x10{sup -4} l/min was stipulated for the measurements in 0.5 m-sections. However, in practice the inflow measurements were initially performed in 4.5 m-sections, which made it possible to reach an even lower measurement limit. Furthermore, by this method the tests were speeded up, because in all 4.5 m-sections where the flow fell below 1x10{sup -4} l/min, no detailed measurements in 0.5 m-sections were necessary. The accuracy of the measurements was 5% for flow in the interval greater than or equal to 1x10{sup -3} l/min and 100% for flow below that value. The boreholes D5 and D6 have relatively high inflows to the entire boreholes, about 450x10{sup -3} l/min respectively 90x10{sup -3} l/min. The inflow values to the remaining boreholes are much lower: between about 3x10{sup -3} and 13x10{sup -3} l/min. The flow distribution along the boreholes is rather similar in boreholes D1, D3 and D6, with flow maxima at about
