New well casing and depth indicator

Solinst Canada Ltd. is pleased to announce the latest addition to their line of level measurement devices—the Model 105 well casing and depth indicator. The new Model 105 is used to detect metal well casing and measure total well depth. Both functions are provided using the same probe.

The well casing and depth indicator is useful when determining where metal casing starts and ends in new or existing well constructions, hydrofracturing, and installing packers, pumps, or other down well instrumentation. It's a very handy instrument for every driller and hydrogeologist to add to his or her toolbox.

A strong internal magnetic assembly detects well casing. When the probe is adjacent to magnetic metal (e.g. steel) a circuit is completed activating the buzzer and light. A plunger at the bottom of the probe is used to measure total well depth. The light and buzzer activate when the plunger reaches the bottom of a well and is pushed into the probe body.

Depths are read from durable Solinst flat tape, which is accurately laser marked every mm or 1/100 ft. Standard tape lengths are available up to 600 m (2000 ft.). The dual-function 105 Probe is made from 316 stainless steel, is submersible to 500 m (1650 ft.), and can be easily replaced in the field, if required.

The Model 105 well casing and depth indicator features a rugged design with a 3-year warranty. It has a sturdy reel and frame, convenient brake, probe holder, tape guide, battery test button, on/off switch, and easy-to-access battery tray for a standard 9V battery.
