KT-10 Plus v2 and KT-10R Plus v2 Magnetic Susceptibility Meters

Terraplus is pleased to announce that the KT-10R Plus v2 Magnetic Susceptibility with rectangular coil is now available, in addition to the KT-10 Plus v2 with circular coil. The KT-10 Plus v2 and KT-10R Plus v2 have an extended measurement range permitting users to measure iron ore samples and drill cores up to 10 SI units. They are also equipped with a pre-installed calibration curve giving the user the ability to obtain the concentration estimate of iron ore directly from the instrument’s display. Both configurations can be upgraded to a KT-10 S/C or KT-10 Plus S/C Magnetic Susceptibility/Conductivity Meter.

Major Benefits

New Rectangular Coil Available

• The KT-10 Plus v2 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter is now available in two different coil configurations: the KT-10R Plus v2 with Rectangular Coil or the standard KT-10 Plus v2 with Circular Coil. The rectangular coil is beneficial for measuring core samples with small diameters as they do not need to be removed from the core box for measurement. The circular and rectangular coils are not interchangeable

Measurement Range Increased to 10 SI Units

• The KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2 have an increased measurement range of up to 10 SI units, allowing users to measure and analyze samples with high magnetite content

Direct Iron Ore Concentration Measurement Estimates

• Direct iron ore concentration measurement estimates can be obtained from the KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2’s display by using the pre-installed calibration curve

Pre-Installed Calibration Curve

• One calibration curve is standard in the KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2’s firmware. This calibration curve is based on magnetite with different concentrations

Programmable Calibration Curve Capability

• Users can also program additional calibration curves which are specific to the samples and cores being measured. By taking a number of magnetic susceptibility measurements from a range of samples with known concentration values, users can program their own calibration curves using the GeoView Software. The new calibration curves can then be transferred to any KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2

New v2 Features

Depth Correlation

• The KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2’s large memory allows the user to input information to correlate every core measurement to its depth. The user can enter information such as borehole I.D., box number, the number of rows in a box, start and end depths, as well as depth intervals. In the Scanner mode, depth intervals can be recorded with the push of a button. All readings between depth intervals are interpolated into the data for reference

Measure in SI or CGS Units

• The KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2 allow users to obtain magnetic susceptibility measurements in either SI or CGS units

Split and Full Core Corrections

• The KT-10 Plus /KT-10R Plus v2 includes a real time diameter correction for both split and full cores. The user can select from a range of drill rod diameters (AQ, BQ, NQ, HQ and PQ) or non-standard ones from 2.4 to 12 cm

Upgrades and Support Available via the Internet

• The KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2 can be both upgraded and supported remotely through the internet. Users are also able to download the latest firmware upgrades to receive new features as they become available.

Calibration

• The KT-10 Plus/KT-10R Plus v2 are factory calibrated, however, the end user can re-calibrate the meters by using the optional Magnetic Susceptibility Calibration pad. A sample with known magnetic susceptibility values can also be used

Uneven Surface Measurements

• The KT-10 Plus v2 can be used with a pin for uneven surface measurements, or without a pin when applied on a flat surface. It also automatically corrects and displays the true magnetic susceptibility. The KT-10R Plus v2 is not supplied with a pin as one of its main use is for measuring core samples
