Il peut [...] être avantageux de mesurer la susceptibilité d'un [...] grand volume de roche en effectuant les mesures sur le terrain aux endroits où l'épaisseur du mort-terrain est nulle ou négligeable. L'appareillage utilisé [le susceptibilitémètre,] mesure l'inductance mutuelle. La bobine émettrice a un diamètre effectif de l'ordre de 1 m (3 pi) et une profondeur de pénétration effective de l'ordre de 40 cm (1,3 pi). L'épaisseur du mort-terrain doit donc être minimale aux endroits de mesure. Cette bobine est placée à l'horizontale sur la surface rocheuse. La bobine réceptrice de diamètre inférieur à celui de la bobine émettrice est coaxiale et est située approximativement dans le même plan que la précédente [...] 1, record 1, French, - susceptibilit%C3%A9m%C3%A8tre
