Microseismic monitoring systems (MMS) have become increasingly crucial in detecting tremors in coal mining. Microseismic sensors (MS), integral components of MMS, profoundly influence positioning accuracy and energy calculations. Hence, calibrating these sensors holds immense importance.

The key to this technology is to determine the crack initiation pressure that affected by the shape of the artificial notch and the stress state around the fracturing hole. Reasonable and simple formula for fracturing pressure calculation is essential since the fracturing pump used in coal mines is usually limited by the harsh conditions and hardly replaced once selected.
