FW Bell 5270
Gauss Meter
The FW Bell 5270 Gauss Meter is expected to be in-stock mid 2023 shortly after release. This page will be updated when they are available.
Tangential Field Strength Meter
Gauss meters are used in many industries to monitor magnetic fields on-site. In Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Gauss meters are commonly used to verify the strength of magnetizing fields in Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) to ensure enough magnetic flux is being generated. If insufficient magnetic flux is present this may result in defects being missed by operators.
However Gauss meters are used extensively in other sectors including aerospace, motorsport, power generation, nuclear sectors and general manufacturing for a wide range of applications.
Model 5200 Series
The 5200 series Hall effect portable gaussmeters represent the most recent design from the world leader in magnetic measuring equipment. This design incorporates the use of digital signal processing technology. F.W. Bell’s exclusive dynamic probe correction allows measurements from 0 to 30 kG with a basic accuracy of 1%.
The 5200 series is a handheld gaussmeter with upgraded features such as touch screen controls and a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery.
All probes for the 5100 series are interchangeable with the 5200 series.
Touch Screen & Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Key features include auto zero, min./max./peak hold, auto range and relative mode. Both models allow the user to select Gauss, Tesla or Ampere/meter readings. Both 5270 and 5280 features a corrected analogue output (±3V FS) and a USB communication port.
User prompts on the custom formatted LCD allow fast, simple push button and touch operations. All models come equipped with a detachable transverse probe, zero gauss chamber, instruction manual, hard carrying case, and a Li-Ion rechargeable battery.
Note: Due to continuous process improvement, specifications are subject to change without notice.
