Quartz Pressure Gauge
Downhole memory pressure and temperature gauges with resonant quartz crystal sensors.
Downhole pressure gauges with a resonant quartz crystal sensor. Rated for high temperatures these tools produce the lowest drift and highest resolution and accuracy of all downhole pressure sensor options.
Quartz tools will operate to temperatures above 200°C and the data will remain stable. The limiting thermal barrier for downhole quartz memory gauges is the battery cell.
The resolution from Quartz data is 50 times greater than Piezo data (0.00006% vs 0.0003% Full Scale).
Quartz tools are preferred for long term high-temperature jobs where derivative calculations are critical.

DataCan’s quartz design maximizes the thermal response of the quartz sensor. The picture below shows the caged bullnose that DataCan uses to expose the pressure (green) and temperature (red) crystals to the wellbore.
