RG Magnetic Susceptibility Probe

Magnetic Susceptibility Probe
click above for datasheet (pdf)

The RG magnetic-susceptibility probe is a new development of the industry-standard Bartington Instruments product. It is a low-frequency device and is specifically designed for mining applications. The probe is shows outstanding stability against pressure and temperature variations

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
This probe relies on a similar principle to the induction probe, whereby a current is induced by an oscillating magnetic field in the probe within a toroidal zone of formation at some radial distance from the probe coils. The oscillating current produces a secondary field that is detected by the receiver coils. The ‘in-phase’ signal is a measure of susceptibility in formations with magnetic properties.

   
FEATURES
Operates in dry or water-filled boreholes
Unaffected by plastic casing
Ideal for use in small-diameter exploration boreholes
Excellent thermal/pressure stability across specified operating range
MEASUREMENTS
Magnetic susceptibility
Natural gamma (optional)
APPLICATIONS
Water Indicator of permeable zones and porosity
Formation-water salinity
Long-term well monitoring
Mineral Exploration Of particular use for uranium where the log shows a negative correlation with uraniferous compunds. Susceptibility logs are highly sensitive to iron and show large contrasts according to its oxidation state. The frequent occurrence of iron with other redox-sensitive metals can provide a valuable indicator of the presence of other minerals.
Horizon detection particularly of altered sequences
