38200000 – Geological and geophysical instruments

Geological and geophysical instruments code description

The Geological and Geophysical Instruments category encompasses a range of specialized tools and equipment used in geological and geophysical studies. These instruments aid in the exploration and analysis of the Earth’s structure, composition, and natural resources. The subcategories within this category include geological compasses, which assist in determining direction and orientation during fieldwork; geological prospecting apparatus, used for surveying and mapping geological features; electromagnetic geophysical instruments, which measure electromagnetic fields to study subsurface structures; gravity geophysical instruments, used to measure variations in gravitational forces; induced polarization IP geophysical instruments, which analyze electrical properties of rocks and minerals; magnetometer geophysical instruments, which detect and measure magnetic fields; resistivity geophysical instruments, used to measure electrical resistance in the ground; gravimeters, which measure variations in gravitational acceleration; and surveying, hydrographic, oceanographic, and hydrological instruments and appliances, which aid in land and water surveys and measurements. These instruments play a crucial role in various scientific and industrial applications, such as mineral exploration, environmental studies, and infrastructure development.
