Core loggers

The Geotek Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) systems enable a suite of geophysical measurements to be obtained rapidly, accurately and automatically on sediment or rock cores. The rugged nature of the equipment makes it suitable for use in either an onshore laboratory/repository environment or onboard survey and drilling vessels. All of Geotek’s core loggers accept core between 50 mm and 150 mm in diameter and up to 1.55 m in length. Geological cores and materials come in a variety of sizes therefore the MSCL systems are designed for a full range of core material in a variety of liner compositions. All systems are modular and can be completed as new tasks arise.

Sensors installed on the Geotek devices allow obtaining the following data sets: chemical and mineralogical composition, point and volume magnetic susceptibility, P and S-wave velocity, gamma density, natural gamma activity, color spectrophotometry, electrical resistance, as well as high-quality imaging (including UV).
