m-meter – Magnetic hysteresis measurement device

The M-meter measures the magnetic hysteresis loop of powder-materials, such as magnetic toner, carrier, ferrite powder or magnetite. Several magnetic parameters can be calculated using the measured hysteresis loop, as:

  • coercivity field strength
  • remanent magnetic polarization
  • saturation magnetization
  • specific saturation magnetization
  • magnetic susceptibility

The measured values can be displayed in MKSA or in cgs-units

The sample volume has a diameter of 10 mm and a height of 4 mm. The filling station is used to create a defined packaging of the material, in order to guarantee the reproducibility of the measurement result. The sample spoon is easy to load through the front panel. The magnetic field is automatically increased and decreased to record the new curve and hysteresis loop.

The special design of the coils and the iron core reach a maximum magnetic field of 1300 mT (or 1500 mT). Nevertheless, the device has a compact bench top design without special cooling. The temperature in the coils is monitored to avoid overheating.

The device is controlled automatically via Windows® software program. A software controlled calibration cycle which uses an external magnetic probe is available.
