Abstract
Four different land gravity meters were run side-by-side on a test range in east Texas. This test range was designed to duplicate typical field survey conditions encountered in gravity measurements on 3D land seismic surveys. A profile of 270 stations was acquired with a station spacing of 33.5 m (110 ft ). The four meters were Scintrex CG-3, Sodin, LaCoste & Romberg (L&R) G-meter, and Edcon / L&R Super-G meter. The purpose of this study was to determine which of the four meters had the best balance of accuracy, convenience, and speed of measurement for these specialized surveys. All four meters had their limitations and no single meter was greatly superior to the others.
