Abstract

This invention relates to a logging tool housing construction for use with gamma ray logging devices. The tool housing is constructed of materials designed for maximum transmission of low energy natural gamma ray energies (E=150-300 Kev). The housing material which encloses a gamma ray detector is a tubular, filament wound graphite composition and has a tubular metal sleeve for wear protection. The core and tubular metal sleeve are constructed and interconnected to meet mechanical and pressure requirements for oil well logging use.
