A bstract In gravimetry the observer cannot exert any influence on the quantity he wants to measure, as he can in seismic exploration. This might easily tempt him to ascribe failures of the gravimetric method to natural causes outside his control. However, he keeps control of a sufficient number of factors to allow him to play a major part in a lot of cases. In this paper the conditions that govern the use of gravimetry are analyzed and subdivided into three classes, viz. natural, technical and economic conditions.
