BWG-01 Gamma Probe

The BWG-01 gamma probe contains the 1"X3" CSI detector. The probe has a 40-mm diameter non¬magnetic non- conductive housing, which is pressure rated to 3,000 meters. The probe is controlled by an on- board microprocessor that samples the four energy windows within the 0 to 3MEV energy range.

The four windows are calibrated to:
 

Total Count 0.10 3.00MeV
Potassium (K40) 1.37 1.57MeV
Uranium (Bi214) 1.66 1.86MeV
Thorium (TI208) 2.40 2.80MeV


The standard gamma detector used in the probe is a 25mm by 76 mm crystal (1"x 3 " Csl). Larger sizes are available and are listed under options.

The gamma probe is designed for use with all standard IFG logging systems that include the BIN-04, BIN-05, BIN-07 digital data interface, 4 conductor logging cable and the data acquisition software. The probe is controlled by an on-board microprocessor that transmits all the 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 formats can be selected to be continues or in incremental mode.
Post processing software (PC-LOG) is available to process the recorded data. During this process the probe can be calibrated for window stripping, dead time corrections and to compute the energy concentration in parts per million (ppm).
