For the reasons cited, which are common field problems, the
actual KT-9 data accuracy is estimated to be:

Typically ±10% of the actual
laboratory measured value.
Up to ±100% of the actual
laboratory measured value for
a 10 mm unevenness of the
sample.

Mode
Use this mode for all measure-
ments where an uneven sur-
face and weathering are
present — effectively all field
samples.
Use this mode for all drillcore
measurements, cut or pol-
ished rock samples or for rela-
tively smooth rock faces (if
weathering is not a problem).
When you have removed the pin from the KT-9 for the
N
O
-P
IN
mode, the supplied plastic screw MUST be installed.
This will prevent moisture from leaking into the unit and
causing damage.
