Instruments and Methods: A New Bore-Hole Inclinometer

A newly developed bore-hole inclinometer permits the determination of bore-hole configurations with greater accuracy and efficiency in comparison with earlier systems of inclinometry. Instrument orientation is given to within 0.1° in magnitude of tilt and 10° in azimuth of tilt by an electrical outp...

Description
Summary:A newly developed bore-hole inclinometer permits the determination of bore-hole configurations with greater accuracy and efficiency in comparison with earlier systems of inclinometry. Instrument orientation is given to within 0.1° in magnitude of tilt and 10° in azimuth of tilt by an electrical output which can be read remotely from the surface.
