| Abstract | (Summary)
We carried out a series of tests on the Scintrex CG-3 gravity meter. We found that the gravity scale factor was relatively stable for the period of the tests and that the drift
correction decreased steadily by half as predicted by the manufacturer. Limited transportion tests also demonstrated the "ruggedness" of the instrument to transport vibrations. In some regards, the automation features of the instrument make it very
easy to operate even though it has a few drawbacks as a field device. Problems encountered with the instrument were easily fixed by the manufacturer during the early part of the tests and after the first version of this report. We have identified
some field conditions where the instrument would perform poorly and Scintrex has rectified these shortcomings by modifying the way some functions are implemented. |
