Kenometer Core Orientation Tool

SKU: KEN

Price range: £289.99 through £309.99 ex VAT

Kenometer core orientation tools, using an anodised aluminium construction, which is tough and bright for onsite field use on drilling projects and mineral sites. Markings on the tools provide Alpha and Beta angles for geologists and core loggers to determine the orientation of a core sample. Available as a main body, in NQ2 and HQ sizes, with optional shims to allow you to measure NQ and HQ3 sizes respectively.

 

Specification:

  • Material: anodised aluminium
  • Angles: Alpha and Beta
  • Size: Optional – NQ2, (or NQ size with optional shims), HQ, (or HQ3 with optional shims)
  • Readings: laser-etched
Core Orientation

The Kenometer core orientation tool is a vital piece of mineral exploration equipment. Exploration geologists widely trust this tool. Specifically, teams use this rugged tool during core drilling projects to accurately orientate drill core samples. Consequently, field crews achieve maximum precision on site. This high accuracy matters because subsequent structural geology data and model readings rely heavily on these initial figures.

 

Alpha and Beta Angles

The Kenometer allows users to efficiently obtain Alpha and Beta angle measurements directly from core samples. Furthermore, geologists use these precise metrics to calculate core orientation. Consequently, field teams accurately record structural readings. They also log key geological features. These features include folding, bedding planes, and mineral veins.

 

Rugged for Onsite Use

Manufacturers build Kenometer tools using high-grade anodised aluminium. Specifically, they engineer this equipment for the harshest mining environments. Furthermore, this robust construction ensures the tools remain tough, rugged, and fully functional in the field. Consequently, the hardware easily withstands accidental drops and knocks without losing accuracy.

 

Key Features
  • Permanent, laser-etched Alpha and Beta angle markings engraved directly into the aluminium body.
  • Available in standard sizes to fit either NQ2 or HQ core lines out of the box, accommodating both NQ2 and HQ core sizes.
  • Adaptable functionality—easily convert the tool to measure NQ or HQ3 sizes using slotted shims.
