SIGMA Downhole
SIGMA Downhole
Product Overview
The unique slim line design of this SIGMA Downhole instrument makes it an ideal versatile accelerometer for both posthole and borehole installations. Its water proof housing with an outer diameter of only 50 mm is rated for depths of up to 300 m in a wet borehole. A single-arm holelock can be added to the stack (see left instrument in photo). An internal three component MEMS accelerometer and a humidity sensor provide additional SOH information about the installed instrument and its inclination.This downhole accelerometer is suitable for deployments in cased or uncased, wet or dry bore- and postholes.
Besides the casing option described here, the SIGMA Downhole accelerometers can also be added to the ALPHA Borehole instruments, resulting in a comprehensive six-component ground motion borehole measuring station.
