Sigmascope SMP10 electrical conductivity measurement

The compact, portable SIGMASCOPE SMP10 from Fischer Technology measures electrical conductivity, i.e. how well a metal conducts electrical current, which also provides information about its composition, microstructure and mechanical properties. The SIGMASCOPE SMP10 conductivity measurement is ideal for the production, processing or inspection of all non-magnetic metals even stainless steel. The SMP10 can also be used for measuring the hardness and strength of heat-treated materials, such as aluminum alloys, which is critical in aircraft manufacture and maintenance. Measuring electrical conductivity using the eddy current method according to ASTM E 1004 and DIN EN 2004-1, the SMP10™s phase-sensitive measurement signal evaluation enables a contact-free determination of conductivity, for example, under paint or synthetic coatings up to 500 ìm thick. This also minimizes the influence of surface roughness. The new SIGMASCOPE SMP10 offers four measurement frequencies 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz and 480 kHz without changing the ES40 measurement probe. Also, a temperature sensor integrated into the ES40 probe provides automatic temperature compensation of the measurement. Its menu-driven, user-friendly software stores 100 unique application memories for calibrations and 20,000 measurements in up to 4,000 measurement data blocks.
