Gravimeters, LaCoste & Romberg,
G-490G and G-565

The Model "G" gravity meter has been the standard instrument for regional gravity data acquisition throughout the world for over 40 years! It has a world-wide range of 7,000 mGals without resetting. One turn of the nulling dial is approximately 1 mGal.

The main components you see on the black meter lid are:

  • Arrestment Knob (Clamp)

  • Nulling Dial

  • Three leveling screws

  • Bubble Levels

  • Eyepiece for Viewing Beam Position

  • Switch for Internal Light
