BTG-01 Borehole Gamma Probe
The BTG-01 is a fully digital gamma probe that integrates four different energy windows of gamma rays over a time of 0.5 seconds. The four windows are calibrated to the four windows:
Total Count = 0.10 - 3.00 MeV
Potassium (K40) = 1.37 - 1.57 MeV
Uranium (Bi214) = 1.66 - 1.86 MeV
Thorium (Tl208) = 2.40 - 2.80 MeV
The standard detector used in the gamma probe is a 25mm by 76 mm crystal (1”x 3 “ CsI). Larger sizes are available and are listed under options.
The four-channel gamma probe is designed for use with all standard IFG logging systems that include the BIN-04 digital data interface, 4 conductor logging cable and the data acquisition software. The probe is controlled by an on-board microprocessor that transmits the four channel digital data along the logging cable to the surface console (BIN-04) for the re-formatting and the transfer to a microcomputer. The microcomputer and the acquisition software (DAS) display and record the data in real time. Up to a total of 20 different parameters can be viewed during logging, in either graphic or numeric format. The recording format is in continuos or incremental mode.
Post processing software (PC-LOG) is available to process the recorded data. For this process the probe can be calibrated for window stripping, dead time corrections and to compute the energy concentration in parts per million (ppm).
