ERA-MAX Electromagnetic Survey System

ERA-MAX is a general-purpose electromagnetic instrument designed for electrical survey on any surface

  • eight types of input devices
  • noncontact and magnetic
  • methods of measurement

PURPOSE

  • Engineering survey for construction and inspection of active pipelines, roads, hydraulic facilities
  • Search and exploration of meallic and nonmetallic minera deposits
  • cology; archeology
  • Inspection of house footing and urban underground utilities

SURVEY METHODS

  • Electrical exploration esistivity method (vertical electric sounding, profiling)
  • Charge method
  • Natural electric field method
  • inductive methods
  • Geomagnetics - vector measuring of earth magnetic field
  • Noncontact probing of protective currents in pipelines
  • Pipe and cable locator
