Features

• Wide dynamic range from 10-1 to 105 S/m.
• Digital and analog display readout with autoscaling.
• Coil sensors for drill-core measurements.
• Capability of galvanic measurements to supplement the induced measurements.
• Corrects for magnetic effects of samples.
• Memory for 10,000 readings.
• RS-232 output.

General

The Model GCM-2 Hand-held Conductivity Meter is designed to measure the electromagnetic and galvanic conductivity of rock and drill-core samples.

Used to assist in interpretation of field data from electromagnetic surveys, its design and implementation results from research on the conductivity of real sulfide ores and rocks sponsored by the Australian Mineral Industry Research Association (AMIRA).
