LaCoste & Romberg Introduce New Instruments

LaCoste & Romberg introduce the new E-Meter – an all-in-one, fully automated, portable gravity meter. This new meter is digitally controlled with auto self-leveling. It is like having a land, microgravity, earth tide and underwater meter all in one package. The new digital design provides a modern user interface that frees you from the drudgery of manually computing each station's gravity.

LaCoste & Romberg are also introducing a new generation of Air-Sea gravity meters. Air-Sea Gravity System II packages are an entirely new all-digital electronics and software system with its renowned gravity sensor into one integrated hardware package that is 48% smaller and 40% lighter than the previous Air-Sea 3.1 gravity meter.

DPD I, the next generation in deep porosity density logging, has also been introduced by LaCoste & Romberg. This new logging tool is now a full deviation sensor. It represents a revolutionary new tool design that maintains the ultra high resolution L&R pioneered with the development of borehole gravity logging instrumentation. DPD I can be used either as an open hole or as a through-casing tool.
