Dear Friends,
Lot of response to seismographs. There are many players in the field. Some of them are
- Instantel
- White
- Thomas
- Nomis
- Vibronics .......... etc
However, I would like, in the greater interest of the community in India, add some information to aid people and orgs. in procuring any such seismograph.
- What is the purpose: if you have compliance requirements go for the basic versions. Although companies may prompt you to go for advanced ones, there is no need for such systems. However, if you are going for advance analysis and R&D then better systems are a good choice.
- What is the cost of the software being provided. Is it free or there are some hidden choices at a cost.
- Does the company have a calibration facility in India as these need to be calibrated annually. If the facility is not in India, the annual costs can be quite heavy. Consider an average life of such equipment of 5 years add the maintenance and annual calibration costs to have a final evaluation.
- Does the company have a repair center in India. Sending equipment for repairs outside India can be quite costly.
- What are the costs of the accessories. If these are quite costly the comparative analysis is necessary in such case.
- Does the company provide an extensive warranty on the quality, service and reliability of the data
- What is the reputation of the company supplying the seismograph in Indian industry - please investigate before making a final decision for procurement.
The above list is not exhaustive but can act as a guide to choose one. Please feel free to put further queries in private to me
