Helmut Fischer Sigmascope SMP350 for electrical conductivity

Mobile device for fast, non-destructive testing of the ferrite content of steels, for example in pressure vessels and pipework, according to the magnetic induction method.

SIGMASCOPE SMP350 is a compact handheld device for determining the electrical conductivity of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. The measured conductivity further enables you to draw conclusions about the hardness and strength of heat-treated materials. Evidence of heat damage and material fatigue can thus be established. For this, the phase-sensitive eddy current method is used, which is approved for the measurement of conductivity.

Features

• Fast, non-destructive and precise measurement of the electrical conductivity of non-ferrous metals
• Conductivity probes for a range of applications
• Various measurement frequencies for different penetration depths, from 15 kHz to 1 MHz, depending on the probe
• Automatic curvature compensation for known curvature diameters (down to the smallest diameter of 6 mm)
• We offer certified measurement standards (in MS/m, %IACS), which are traceable to internationally recognized calibration standards

Applications

• Conductivity testing on raw materials for sorting and quality assurance
• Inspection of alloying in coinage (e.g. the conductivity of Euro coins)
• Assessment of the hardness and strength of heat-treated materials
• Control of the material stability of airframes or similar components that can be altered by temperature swings
• Estimation of the phosphorous content in copper alloys or copper-bearing materials
• Tracking of precipitation processes, e.g. in Cu-Cr alloys
• Inspection of the homogeneity of alloys
• Scrap sorting
