Applications
- Quality control of stainless steel
- Non-destructive material testing of structural parts
- Material selection for apparatus in the field of electron / ion physics and for nuclear resonance devices
- Detection of material changes in highly stressed parts
How it Works
The magnetic permeability of a material is usually strongly dependent on the strength and frequency of the magnetizing field. The probe of the FerroPro compact can be adjusted to different excitation field strengths. The measured permeability value depends on the dimensions of small objects. The sensitivity of the device increases with the thickness of the object. From a material thickness of 5 mm and an extension of about 20 mm, the measurement is independent of size. The FerroPro is calibrated against precisely calibrated reference standards traceable to the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt PTB (Braunschweig, Germany). Recalibration is easily possible.
The scan function allows the user to scan the surface of a part and statistically evaluate the data. The additional analog display complements the visualization of measured values, allowing you to see trends and peaks even out of the corner of your eye. With flexible data logger, combined digital and analog display, and peak value measurement, the instrument supports all areas of permeability measurement. The Bluetooth interface can be used to transfer data to a Windows PC as well as to the Android or iOS app. With the Lima Connect app you can manage projects and assign the measuring points on a photo. The measurement results can be statistically evaluated and displayed graphically. The USB-C interface allows the device to be connected to an external power source for continuous operation. The app for Android, iOS and Windows is free.
