FISCHER SIGMASCOPE SMP350 Measuring the Electrical Conductivity of Nonferrous Metals (0,5-65MS/m or 1- 12%IACS)

Applications

• Conductivity testing on raw materials for sorting and quality assurance

• Inspection of alloys in coinage (e.g. conductivity of Euro coins)

• Assessment of the hardness and strength of heat-treated materials

• Checking for heat damage, material fatigue and cracks

The SMP350 can measure the electrical conductivity of any non-magnetisable metal. Furthermore, since the electrical conductivity provides data about other material properties, it is effective in a wide range of measuring applications and fields of use, including:

• Quality assurance and sorting of raw materials

• Authentication of coin alloys (e.g. specific conductivity of Euro coins)

• Assessing hardness and strength of heat-treated materials

• Inspecting for heat damage, material fatigue and cracks

• Estimating the phosphorous content in copper

• Tracking precipitation processes, e.g. for Cu-Cr alloys

• Testing the homogeneity of alloys

• Scrap metal sorting
