MidLine 4.5 Hz Borehole Seismometer – Gimballed
The AG4.5 is ASIR's readily deployed three-component 4.5 Hz gimballed borehole seismometer designed for high-resolution microseismic and earthquake monitoring in deep boreholes. Suitable for permanent or temporary installations to depths of up to 3000 m, the AG4.5 accommodates borehole deviations of up to 15° through its precision gimballed suspension. Combined with ASIR's mechanical hole-lock system, it provides reliable long-term monitoring for mining, geothermal energy, underground infrastructure, carbon storage (CCS), and scientific research projects.
Advanced Features
- slim 61 mm outer diameter (OD)
