Measuring instruments for the analysis of drill cores
Three large machines for the non-destructive examination of drill cores are available in the premises of the national drill core repository, two Multi-Sensor Core Loggers (MSCL) and an X-ray fluorescence scanner (XRF). These can be used to analyze half and full cores of solid rocks and sediments.
In addition, our facility has large core saws for halving cores or for sampling. The rooms are equipped with, among other things, a long ball caster table, which allows the laying out of larger core sections, for example for training or "sampling parties".
The MSCL from Geotek are based on a modular principle, for example, this equipment can vary in its dimensions as well as in the equipment with sensors/measuring devices and can therefore be adapted to almost any requirement. A high turnout of measurements on drill core material can be realized.
Available Sensors:
- Line Scan Camera - high resolution digital image acquisition of the core surface
- density measurement with gamma radiation (Cs-130 source)
- P-wave measurement
- Magnetic susceptibility
- Resilience
- Spectrophotometer
- IR sensor (ASD Terra Spec)
Avaatech's XRF scanner uses an X-ray source to measure the distribution of chemical elements along the halved drill core. The elements from magnesium to uranium can be determined quickly and with high resolution.
