Description
Product Description:
The DC Gaussmeter Model GM1-ST is measures strength and polarity of magnetic fields up to 19,999.9 gauss. The sensor can easily fit in a .060 inch (1.5 mm) gap and is at the end of a 100 cm flexible cable. The sensor end can be bent if required for a variety of situations. Place the sensor on a magnet face to measure the field. With a resolution of 0.1 gauss, it can measure any tiny variation from magnet to magnet or it can detect if a given magnet has lost even a little strength. Bend the sensor in to a “L” to measure inside a DC solenoid tube. The 5 ½ digit display requires neither auto nor manual range change, making it easier to use than older style 3 ½ or 4 ½ digit meters. Turn on the meter and immediately begin reading fields (updates 4 times per second). There is no setup required, making this the fastest, easiest gaussmeter available.
Comes with NIST traceable calibration certificate. Yearly calibration service available from AlphaLab Inc.
Features
- Portable for easy measurements in factories or other industrial environments
- High dynamic range 5 ½ digit display reads even the strongest magnets with 0.1 gauss resolution, including polarity
- Turns on instantly, updates four times a second, no setup or initial calibration required
- Auto-Zero (subtracts the present field from subsequent readings); also a fine offset control
- Offset range is the full ±19,999.99 gauss
- 1% accuracy at room temperature, including probe
- Certificate of NIST traceability included
- Probe and Battery Included
- CE Compliant
- Detachable Rubber Boot Included
Applications
- Measures all permanent magnets. (Maximum field of magnets is about 15,000, which occurs only with rare-earth magnets in a gap configuration.)
- High resolution of 0.1 gauss over the entire range of +19,999.9 to -19,999.9 gauss allows detection of any variation in field from a magnet.
- Measures inside DC Solenoids (probe is bent into “L” shape to measure this).
- Sufficient resolution to map fields far from magnets.
