A402 GAMMA-GAMMA PROBE

The Gamma-Gamma probe includes a gamma ray source in the tool and is based on the backscattered gamma-gamma technique. Overall chemical content or ore or ash content of coal is obtained from rations of spectral window intensities recorded in the lower energy region and high energy region of the gamma ray spectrum. Density of formation is determined from the total count rate recorded above 180keV.

The probe can be useful for the following applications:
  • overall chemical content
  • ore body delineation
  • ore grade
  • ash content
  • density

    Examples of specific information:
  • coal ash content and density
  • percentage iron and density in iron ore
  • percentage lead in lead-zinc ores
