Magnetometer | MF-1M

Magnetometer - Overview

The magnetometer (gaussmeter) measures residual magnetisation and magnetic heterogeneity in ferromagnetic products. It assesses magnetisation levels before welding gas and oil pipes, and evaluates static, alternating, and pulsed magnetic fields from various magnetic objects. The main purpose of the device is to measure the parameters of a static magnetic field – intensity (induction), and its gradient. Using a transverse probe, the user can measure the residual magnetisation of the material after magnetic particle inspection, the level of the magnetic component of industrial interference, and the magnetic induction of a variety of devices, components and products. The device allows users to measure the parameters of an alternating magnetic field – values of intensity (induction), as well as the parameters of single pulses of a magnetic field – peak values of intensity (induction). The magnetometer can display the measured value in units of Ampere/Centimetre (A/cm), Gauss (Gs) and Tesla (mT). There is a conditional CODE scale, which allows the user to assess the change in the magnetic fields without reference to the scale. It displays the signal like a graph, which allows the user to monitor the change in the magnetic field strength by scanning the product. Also, in this operating mode, the user can set thresholds for limiting values of the measured parameters. The device is sealed and can be used in conditions of high humidity. The housing is a silicone case, making the device shockproof. The temperature range is from -20 to + 40 ° C. It has the ability to create a measurement archive that can be transferred to a PC using special software.

Shunts | SHU-B

Shunts - Overview

Long-life shunts are used to extend the current-measuring range of moving-coil ammeters, enabling reliable display and further processing of direct currents, especially at rates up to 15 000 A. The direct current flowing through the shunt generates a proportional voltage drop which, for example, can be displayed by means of a moving coil meter connected in parallel or be further processed electronically. The shunts comply with EN 60051-1, EN IEC 60051-8 and DIN 43703. The accuracy is 0.5% relative to the nominal value. In addition, shunts with an increased accuracy of 0.2% or 0.1% can be requested. The rated currents range from 1 A to 15,000 A. Shunts are manufactured in three different designs, depending on the nominal current. Up to 25 A, the shunts are always mounted on an insulating base which can be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail or by means of screw fixing. Above 25 A, an insulating base is optionally available for SHU-B1, as well as for some current ranges in SHU-B2.

High Accuracy Oxygen Analyser | Rapidox 1100-OPT-MAX

High Accuracy Oxygen Analyser - Overview

This analyser is ideal for challenging applications such as measuring ppm levels of oxygen in hydrogen, helium and flammable gases, as well as high levels of oxygen in concentrators, incubators and glove boxes. The high and low-range oxygen sensors switch over automatically using a hysteresis function to optimise readings, with an adjustable switching point. The optical oxygen sensors are virtually drift-free and are factory-calibrated for life, making their lifetime cost of ownership more economical. These sensors are suitable for demanding high-oxygen applications where VOCs, flammable gases, CO, H₂ or He are present in the gas sample.

The optical oxygen sensor technology is based on luminescence quenching of a sensor dye. The dye is excited with red light, and the properties of the resulting luminescence are measured in the near infrared. The presence of molecular oxygen in the gas quenches the luminescence, changing its intensity and producing a calibrated oxygen measurement. This principle is very robust, shows virtually no interference from other gases and has a very low drift. It does not deplete over time, unlike galvanic oxygen sensors with their limited shelf life, as the optics and electronics are hermetically sealed from the measured gas. For typical indoor conditions, a 5–10 year operating life is expected.

High Accuracy Oxygen Analyser - Features
- Long life
- Fast response
- High-accuracy measurement from 0.1 ppm to 100% oxygen
- Low drift
- Factory calibrated
- Digital output of oxygen partial pressure
- Temperature compensation
- Low power consumption
- Lead-free, ROHS-compliant
