Field indicators are used to measure the actual magnetic field strength and polarity remaining in parts after magnetic particle inspection processes. This rugged, pocket-size meter is used to indicate residual magnetism remaining in part after magnetization.

General Purpose Non-Calibrated Field Indicator - Inexpensive, disposable field indicator with -10 to +10 gauss range for basic magnetic field detection

Key Features

  • Cost-Effective Solution: Inexpensive, disposable, non-certified field indicator for budget-conscious applications
  • Compact Design: Rugged, pocket-size meter that's easy to carry and handle during inspections
  • Polarity Detection: Center zero scale shows magnetic polarity direction with positive and negative readings
  • Standard Compliance: Meets ASME BPVC, ASTM E709, and ASTM E1444 specifications
  • Sensitive Detection: Lower rim below the arrow is the most sensitive part for optimal measurement placement

Applications

  • Basic residual magnetism detection after magnetic particle testing
  • General purpose magnetic field strength indication
  • Demagnetization verification for non-critical applications
  • Training and educational purposes
  • Cost-sensitive quality control operations

Specifications

Measurement Range: -10 to +10 gauss

Calibration: Non-calibrated, non-certified

Type: Disposable field indicator

Standards: ASME BPVC, ASTM E709, ASTM E1444

Construction: Plastic, pocket-size design

This generic field indicator provides basic magnetic field detection capabilities for applications where certified accuracy is not required. The lower rim of the indicator below the arrow should be placed closest to the part being measured for optimal sensitivity and accurate polarity detection.

Certified and factory calibrated field indicators are available:

P/N  505056 Magnaflux 10 gauss Calibrated Field Indicator

P/N 105645 Magnaflux 20 Gauss Calibrated Field Indicator

Specifications

  • 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.
