Magnetic Resonance Analysis of Soil and Core Samples in the Laboratory or Field
Helios NMR measurements enable rapid quantification of fluid content and hydrogeologic properties including the total porosity, bound/mobile fluid fractions, pore size distribution, and permeability. Helios’ unique design features allow robust measurements of hydrologic properties over a wide range of core size and lithology.
Helios key capabilities include:
- Laboratory precision in a field portable, lightweight rugged design
- Handles soil and rock cores in a wide variety of shapes and sizes
- Low-field, high-bandwidth operation enables accurate measurement of water content in magnetically susceptible rocks and sediments
- Short echo spacing (~200 us) enables high SNR and high accuracy measurement of water in clays and unsaturated samples
Helios Applications:
- Water resources
- Determination of bound/mobile water fractions
- Estimation of hydraulic conductivity
- Development of NMR logging aquifer permeability models
- Mining – moisture content in ore cuttings and core samples
- Environmental remediation – detailed analysis of water-bearing properties of core samples
- Geotechnical
Features included in Helios are patented as follows: US 10,302,733
