Mobile calibration unit (MKU)
MKU
The company’s engineering department has developed a mobile calibration unit (MKU) with active low-frequency interference suppression for calibrating magnetic sensors in the field.
The system is designed to calibrate sensors at geophysical survey sites where strong industrial interference is absent. As part of routine updates to sensor amplitude and phase frequency responses during fieldwork, the MKU enables field crews to calibrate their sensors and obtain accurate, up-to-date characteristics.
Manufacturing and delivery time: 1–2 months.
