Seismological and ULF Instruments
Seismological instruments are used mostly for research driven programs. with a long prospective to provide a fillip to the science of seismology. The aim of the programme is to provide added thrust to the earthquake- related studies and also to generate inputs in the form of knowledge based products to help earthquake Disaster mitigation effort. Today seismological equipment are not only used to study the geodynamic behaviour of the earth, but also find extensive use in other areas such as reservoir induced seismicity, on line alerting/ civil structure health monitoring , Nuclear Treaty verification, environmental monitoring , power plants, etc.Ultra Technologies through its overseas alliances offer a complete solution in this field. We are associated with M/s PMD Scientific Inc., USA for their full range of seismic instrumentation, including standard and custom-built seismo-meters, force-balanced accelerometers, and high-resolution seismic and strong-motion data loggers and digitizers. PMD seismometers are based on proprietary electrochemical technology, and equipped with unique features which are unavailable in traditional electromechanical sensors. The company's electrochemical seismic sensors are extremely robust, and designed to require minimal maintenance, no mass locks for handling and transportation, and no mass centering over the full operating temperature range. Moreover, they can stay fully functional at significant installation tilts.
Through M/s Quakefinder Inc., USA, Ultra Technologies offer ULF equipment dedicated to earthquake forecasting research to ultimately develop, a global warning system for imminent destructive earthquakes. This involves developing multi-station coherence plots to highlight the common (ionospheric) and unique (future earthquake?) signals at each pair of sites.
