DC Gaussmeter Model GM1-ST
Manufactured in the USA by AlphaLab, Inc.
For magnets (or DC Solenoids) 0.1 - 20K Gauss

The Gaussmeter Model GM1-ST measures the field of even the strongest static magnet (to 20kG) down to fine resolution (0.1G). Features rapid turn-on and fast update. This model supersedes the MD1-ST, which had no auto-zero.

Product Description:

The Model 1-ST measures strength and polarity of magnetic fields up to 19,999.9 gauss. The sensor can easily fit in a .060 inch (1.5 mm) gap and is at the end of a 100 cm flexible cable. The sensor end can be bent if required for a variety of situations. Place the sensor on a magnet face to measure the field. With a resolution of 0.1 gauss, it can measure any tiny variation from magnet to a magnet or it can detect if a given magnet has lost even a little strength. Bend the sensor into an “L” to measure inside a DC solenoid tube. The 5 ½ digit display requires neither auto nor manual range change, making it easier to use than older style 3 ½ or 4 ½ digit meters. Turn on the meter and immediately begin reading fields (updates 4 times per second). There is no setup required, making this the fastest, easiest gauss meter available.

Available Items:

• Detachable Rubber Boot (include)
• Hard Carrying Case (include) 
• NIST Traceable Certificate (include)

Features:

• High dynamic range 5 ½ digit display reads even the strongest magnets with 0.1 gauss resolution, including polarity.
• Turns on instantly, updated four times a second, no setup or initial calibration required.
• Auto-Zero (subtracts the present field from subsequent readings); also a fine offset control.
• Offset range is the full +/- 19,999.99 gauss.
• 1% accuracy at room temperature, including probe.
• Probe and battery included.
• With rubber boot and hard carrying case is available.
• CE Compliant.

Applications:

• Measures all permanent magnets. (Maximum field of magnets is about 15,000, which occurs only with rare-earth magnets in a gap configuration.)
• High resolution of 0.1 gauss over the entire range of +19,999.9 to -19,999.9 gauss allows detection of any variation in the field from a magnet.
• Measures inside DC Solenoids (probe is bent into “L” shape to measure this).
• Sufficient resolution to map fields far from magnets.
