Description
The CG-6 Autograv™ is the next generation land gravity meter combining a modern, intuitive user interface with our renowned quartz sensor technology housed in a rugged yet lightweight enclosure. The new CG-6 offers fast, reliable and precise gravity measurements and includes an array of mapping and post processing functionality using the optional tablet computer that comes with our new Lynx LG software conveniently installed. The new CG-6 offers dependable gravity survey data with ease and efficiency making surveying more cost effective than ever before.
CG-6 ADVANCEMENTS
Building on the success of the Scintrex CG-5 Autograv™, we’ve re-engineered the design to make the CG-6 Autograv™ lighter, faster and more powerful.

Applications
OIL & GAS EXPLORATION
Gravity can be used to determine the location of a salt dome in which oil or gas could be present. Measuring the density change in an oil reservoir can assist in the oil and gas recovery process.
MINERAL EXPLORATION
Gravity can detect volcanic massive sulphides deposits associated with nickel deposits, diamond bearing kimberlites, banded iron formations, and impact basins. Gravity can also be used to determine the size of the deposit.
GEOLOGICAL MAPPING
Gravity can be used to complement the results of geological mapping.
CIVIL ENGINEERING
Gravity can be used to study the integrity of roads, dams, and dykes, looking for areas of weakness in the sub-surface.
GEOTECHNICAL
Gravity can detect voids or cavities whether they are tunnels, washouts or sink holes.
REGIONAL GRAVITY STUDIES
Gravity can determine the rock type, soil compaction and presence of water.
GEOID MAPPING
By measuring gravity changes on the Earth’s surface, a more accurate correction can be applied to GPS data to obtain a more precise surface elevation.
ARCHAEOLOGY
Gravity can be used to locate buried walls, buildings, and tombs.
