A borehole survey made by lining up a reference mark on the clinometer case with that on the drill rods, which in turn are oriented as they are lowered into the borehole.
Industry:Mining
A borehole surveying instrument often used to test the verticality of the freezing holes in shaft sinking. A vernier scale is used to determine the positions of the pendulum points at successive points, and by summating the results an accurate plan of the course of the borehole can be prepared.
Industry:Mining
A borehole surveying instrument that can take a number of readings during its descent and ascent in the borehole. It comprises gyroscopic and photographic recording units; direction and inclination indicators; a timing clock, and other accessories. A movie film enables numerous records to be taken throughout the depth of the borehole.
Industry:Mining
A borehole surveying instrument that records only one measurement of the bearing and of the inclination of a hole on a single trip into the borehole.
Industry:Mining
A borehole that has deviated beyond the allowable limit from the vertical or from its intended course.
Industry:Mining
A borehole that is drilled at an angle not perpendicular to the Earth's surface.
