Measuring Magnetic Fields
How do you "see" magnetic fields? By using a Gauss Meter, the electromagnetic source field strength is measured in "Gauss", and output into numeric values. An example of measuring gauss before and after shielding an electrical panel with our MuMETAL® alloy can be seen on our YouTube Video.
Evaluation
We offer a cost effective, handheld, single-axis AC magnetic field meter, to provide quick & reliable measurements of electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation generated by external sources like power lines, electrical wiring, audio/visual equipment, motors and other devices. No probe is required - just hold the Gaussmeter in the affected area. Then take measurements again after shielding with MuMETAL®, Co-NETIC® or NETIC® shielding alloys.
BH Curve Over several decades, Magnetic Shield Corporation has performed hundreds of laboratory tests and calculated thousands of shielding equations - all in an effort to continually validate the theoretical application of magnetic interference control in both AC and DC applications, and to aid engineers in shield design. Theory behind the B-H curve is well documented, and it remains an effective reference tool. By use of the B-H curve, our shielding alloys MuMETAL®, Co-NETIC® and NETIC® have been developed and refined to offer the most effective shielding characteristics for a variety of applications and markets. The B-H curve (left) depicts our materials' capabilities to attenuate and absorb a wide range of magnetic fields.
