Force Balance Accelerometers: Biaxial Sensors

The Columbia SA-220RHT and SA-225RHT Force Balance Accelerometers are designed to be used as Measurement While Drilling (MWD) sensors in downhole well servicing applications. The Model SA-220RHT is powered by ±15 VDC and can withstand temperatures of up to 200 °C.

The model SA-225RHT runs at 190 °C and requires ±5 VDC. Both sensors are self-contained and give a high-level, low-impedance output, avoiding the need for signal conditioning at high temperatures.

The SA-220RHT and SA-225RHT sensors have become the established standard used in downhole high-temperature mapping because of their remarkable high-temperature performance, tough designand low power consumption.
