RG Sidewall density gamma probe

Sidewall Density Gamma Probe

The sidewall density gamma probe uses multiple detectors to provide an accurate borehole-compensated density measurement with excellent bed-boundary resolution.

PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The probe contains a gamma source and two
high-sensitivity scintillation gamma detectors. The detectors are protected against direct radiation from the source or via the borehole by extensive
heavy-metal shielding. The active windows of source and detector are maintained firmly in contact with the borehole walls by a motorised back-up arm that also provides a borehole caliper measurement. Gamma radiation from the source is backscattered by the formation (Compton effect) and reaches the two detectors where the relative count-rates provide a measure of formation bulk density.

 

   
FEATURES
Compensated density output directly in engineering units (g/cc)
Separate short-spacing detector(s) for accurate bed-boundary location
Tungsten shielding reduces borehole influence on measurement
Collimated source minimises mud-cake effect
Powerful motorised caliper arm maintains good sidewall contact
Standard calibration blocks available for field or base use
Optional bed-resolution density (BRD) and temperature measurements
