When the drilling core method is used to determine the coalbed gas content, the cutting heat generated by the core bit cutting coal will increase the core tube temperature, and the excessively high core tube temperature will have an heating effect on the coal core, which will accelerate the coal core gas desorption rate and increase the gas loss amount. The generation of cutting heat of core bit and the measurement of core tube temperature are the basis for grasping the gas desorption law of coal core and projecting the amount of gas loss. Firstly, the self-developed core tube temperature measurement device was used to conduct on-site core temperature measurement experiments at different cutting speeds.

The pore structure of coal samples before and after the adsorption and desorption tests was tested by combining the mercury pressure test and the low-temperature liquid nitrogen adsorption test, and the influence of the change in the pore structure of coal samples after the high-temperature and high-pressure adsorption and desorption tests on the hysteresis effect of methane desorption was studied. The results showed that under the same pressure, the pore volume of coal samples increased with the increase in temperature, the pore-specific surface area showed a tendency to decrease, and the fractal dimension could well characterize the relationship between the pore structure and the pore surface of coal, in which the fractal dimension of the pores in the large pore size section gradually increased with the increase of temperature, and the fractal dimension in the small pore size section gradually decreased; there was a good correlation between the pore structure of the coal samples after the high-temperature and high-pressure adsorption and desorption tests and the hysteresis coefficient of desorption.

However, cutting heat and friction heat will be generated in the core-tube coring process, which will increase the coal core temperature and the coal core gas loss, thus resulting in a large error in the determination of the gas content. The accuracy of the gas content determination is closely related to the temperature variation of coal core during core-taking.

When the core method is used to measure the coal seam gas content (CSGC), the temperature of the coal core sample (CCS) will increase because the heat generated by the core bit cutting and rubbing the coal is transferred to the CCS through the core tube. To solve the above problems, the temperature of the core tube wall during coring at core depths of 10, 20, and 30 m was measured by a self-designed temperature measuring device.
