Abstract

The paper is devoted to studying the possibility of using the Chekan series relative gravimeter for the development of the first class state gravimetric network and creating the gravimetric networks of the second and third classes. This type of gravimeters features good performance, broad measurement range, high automation, the required accuracy, and high degree of usability.
