SIGMASCOPE^® SMP10

The SIGMASCOPE^® SMP10 is a hand-held instrument which provides rapid, simple, on-the-spot and, if necessary contact free, measurement of the conductivity of non-magnetic metals. The corresponding measurement probe ES40 operates at the measurement frequencies of 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz and 480 kHz. For automatic temperature compensation of the conductivity measurement the current temperature of the specimen can be measured using either the temperature sensor integrated in the probe ES40 or an optional external sensor.

Applications

Absolute measurement of electrical conductivity during the production process of aluminum copper, etc. Monitoring heat-treatment processes, strength and hardness of aluminum wrought alloys in the aerospace and automobile industries. Checking the electrical conductivity before anodizing aluminum. Determination of the degree of purity and scrap metal sorting.

Features

• Standardized measurements using the eddy current method according to ASTM E 1004
• Measurement range: 0.5 – 65 MS/m or 1 – 112 %IACS
• Individual consideration of the temperature coefficient as applicable to each material for the electrical conductivity.
• Extensive statistical evaluation of test series with date and time as well as computation of Cp, Cpk and histogram display.
• Temperature measurement: using the temperature sensor integrated in the probe ES40, the additional connected optional temperature probe or manual temperature input.
• Monitoring the temperature change over time.
• 5 display languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian)
• RS232 interface for data output to printer or PC.
