The Abricosov vortex and bundles dynamics was experimentally investigated in Earths magnetic field range. Isothermal relaxation features in YBCO single crystal samples with strong pinning centers were studied for different sample-field orientation. The normalized relaxation rate S obtained allowed to estimate the effective pinning potential U in the bulk of the YBCO sample and its temperature dependence, as well as the critical current density Jc. A comparison between the data obtained and the results for similar measurements in significantly higher magnetic fields was performed. To compare different Jc measuring techniques magnetization loop M(H) measurements, were made. These measurements provide many important parameters of the sample under study (penetration field Hp, first critical field Hc1, etc.) that contain the geometrical configuration of the samples.
