Integrating Fluxmeters are used to measure total magnetic flux with a coil.
Fluxmeters are often used when a total flux reading of a magnet is required and unlike Gaussmeters they need a changing magnetic field to allow measurement.
Examples of when to use a fluxmeter include:
- To check a magnetization process:
A sense coil is embedded into a magnetizing fixture. The system magnetizes the sample and as it is removed from the fixture an Integrating Fluxmeter measures the sample’s total magnetization and determines if it is within acceptable production tolerances.
- To determine total flux, with Helmholtz coils:
A pair of Helmholtz coils is connected to an Integrating Fluxmeter. The sample to be tested is placed within the pair of coils and rotated. The Integrating Fluxmeter determines the total magnetization of the sample.
