Field indicators are used to measure the actual magnetic field strength and polarity remaining in parts after magnetic particle inspection or demagnetization processes.

20 Gauss Magnetic Field Indicator - Scaled +20 or -20 gauss from 0 center with large divisions at 2 gauss and small divisions at 1 gauss

Key Features

  • Precision Measurement: Accurate to +/- 1.0 gauss for reliable field strength readings
  • Durable Construction: Withstands exposure to fields as strong as 400 oersteds without affecting calibration
  • Magnetic Particle Testing: Essential tool for NDT professionals checking residual magnetism after magnetic particle testing
  • Calibrated Accuracy: Certification is provided with each meter
  • Polarity Detection: Center zero scale shows magnetic polarity direction with positive and negative readings

Applications

  • Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) operations
  • Demagnetization verification processes
  • Checking residual magnetism after magnetic particle testing
  • Quality control for ferrous materials
  • NDT testing and inspection procedures

Specifications

Measurement Range: +20 to -20 gauss from center zero

Accuracy: +/- 1.0 gauss

Scale Divisions: Large divisions at 2 gauss, small divisions at 1 gauss

Field Resistance: Up to 400 oersteds without calibration loss

Certification: Provided with each meter

This calibrated field indicator ensures that your parts have been sufficiently demagnetized and provides accurate readings for magnetic particle inspection procedures, making it essential for NDT technicians conducting magnetic particle testing and demagnetization verification.

The convenient calibration intervals start on the day of first use. This feature allows you to maintain a structured recalibration schedule without worrying about outdated standards. Alongside your purchase, you receive comprehensive documentation, making record-keeping straightforward.

Magnectic Particle Inspection

Specifications Compliance:

  • ASME BPVC
  • ASTM E709
  • ASTM E1444

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the field indicator near or directly against the object being tested. The lower rim of the indicator below the arrow is the most sensitive part of the meter and should be placed closest to the part being measured. The indicator should be placed near a position on the part that exhibits flux leakage such as the end of a bar shaped part. Magnetic polarity of the field is being measured by the direction of the pointer deflection on the center zero scale. A plus (+) indicates the meter has been presented to a North magnetic pole and a minus (-) to a South magnetic pole. The higher the reading, the stronger the magnetic field. Readings in gauss relate only to the magnitude of external leakage fields and should not be misconstrued as the flux density within the part.

Note:

1. If you place the indicator in a field strong enough, it may throw it considerably off scale.

2. If your field indicator comes in contact with the field of a demagnetizing coil or within the effective field of a conductor carrying a heavy alternating current, it may become demagnetized.
