External sensors,
maintenance and options
The KT-9 has specially designed external sensors available to
enhance the functionality and versatility of the instrument.
Currently, there are two sensors with accessories available.
External sensors
KT-9-SC Remote Coil
The remote coil was specially designed to overcome certain
problems encountered in core scanning. The internal two-inch
diameter sensor has problems with adjacent core when measur-
ing samples in a typical corebox, where the core is stored in
lengths side-by-side. Smaller diameters of core samples (1½ in
or less) when in a core-box, allow the sensor to see adjacent
core on either side, resulting in unreliable data. Another incon-
venience is that unless the
S
CAN
mode is used, it can be very
cumbersome to
• zero the KT-9 in free-space
• place the KT-9 on the core
• take a reading
• remove the KT-9 to get another zero reading
• examine the results, and so on.
