Magnet permeability meter FerroPro compact

Convenient and robust instrument for measuring the relative magnetic permeability µr between 1 and 5

Paramagnetic materials up to permeability µr=5

The List-Magnetik Magnetic Permeability Meter FerroPro compact can be used to determine the relative magnetic permeability µr of materials and components in the range between 1.000 and 5.000.

Magnetic permeability or magnetic conductivity provides information on how strongly a material can be magnetized.

Applications include quality control of stainless steels, non-destructive testing of structural components, material selection for electron/ion physics and nuclear magnetic resonance equipment, and detection of material changes in highly stressed parts.

The instrument is calibrated against precisely calibrated reference standards traceable to the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt PTB (Braunschweig, Germany). Recalibration is easily possible. A calibration standard is supplied with each instrument. 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. FerroPro compact can be used to perform standard-compliant permeability measurements according to ASTM A342 test methods 1 and 4, EN 60404-15 method 6 and VG 95578.

FerroPro compact has a graphical LCD touch panel with an innovative user interface and a resolution of 320x480 pixels.

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. The USB-C interface allows the device to be connected to an external power source for continuous operation.

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.

Manage and send measurement data with a free application

To further process your measurement data, you can pair your measuring device with mobile Android and iOS devices. Or you communicate with a Windows PC. This is made possible by Bluetooth Low Energy technology (BLE). 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 app for Android, iOS and Windows is free.
