Introduction
Standard Background and Evolution
As a supporting technical specification for DB/T26-2008 "Classification and Codes of Seismic Observation Instruments", this standard systematically constructs the model coding system of seismic observation instruments for the first time. Compared with the 2008 classification standard, the coding rules for modified instruments are newly added, which strengthens the traceability of the instrument throughout its life cycle.
Analysis of core terms
| Terms | Definition | Application cases |
|---|---|---|
| Instrument base model | Benchmark model determined by mass production | Such as the initial version of FHD-1 proton magnetometer |
| Instrument modification | Local adjustments but no changes to the main technical indicators | FHD-1A is the first improved version of the base model |
In-depth analysis of the coding structure
4-level marker segment structure
Take ZVSJCA0-AB/FFS# as an example:
- ZVS: Velocity-type short-period observation (category)
- J: Downhole deployment (group)
- C: Sensor component (column)
- A0: A series base type (type)
Observation category code table summary
| Observation category | Typical code | Coverage items |
|---|---|---|
| Ground motion | ZVS/ZVB | Velocity-type short-period/wide-band observation |
| Crust deformation | XQC/XQS | Vertical/horizontal pendulum tilt observation |
| Electromagnetic | DMA/DMR | Absolute/relative geomagnetic observation |
Key points for the implementation of naming rules
Principle of three elements in naming
- Field identification: such as installation location such as "underground" and "surface"
- Technical characteristics: principle description such as "short period" and "proton precession"
- Performance identification: characteristic description such as "wideband" and "high precision"
Typical naming comparison
| Code Example | Standard Naming | Number of Words |
|---|---|---|
| LSWJCH3 | Downhole Pressure Water Level Meter | 8 Words |
| DMABSP2 | Surface Proton Magnetometer | 7 Words |
Standard Implementation Suggestions
Transition Plan between Old and New Standards
- Establish a basic instrument database and uniformly assign type codes
- Remodeled products must be registered with the Earthquake Monitoring and Forecasting Standardization Committee
- Starting from 2024, newly purchased instruments must use this standard coding
Troubleshooting of Common Problems
| Scenario | Handling method |
|---|---|
| Compound observation instrument | Use HLZ category code + main functional component classification |
| Manufacturer code conflict | Apply to the Standardization Committee for filing and coordination |
