SM-24 Geophone Measures.

Other Miscellaneous
1

I have a question regarding the orientation mesurement of the SM-24 geophone. I would like to know if it is possible to measure vertical vibration with this device. The latter because I am aware that some geophones are able to measure only on the horizontal orientation.

Also I would like to know if it is possible to have reliable measures below the 10 Hz frequency.

Thanks in advance.

It’s not designed to be used vertically, but would probably work in that orientation. You’d need to try it and see how well it responds.

Since these are rated for 10Hz to 240Hz I wouldn’t expect them to be very accurate below 10Hz but would probably respond with reduced amplitude. Again, you’d need to try one and see what happens.
