Magnetic Susceptibility

Multi Kappa and SM-20 Magnetic Susceptibility Meters

The Multi Kappa susceptibility meter allows for rapid surveys, either point-to-point or in regional profiles. Together with the traditional pocket susceptibility meter, it covers a wide range of magnetic susceptibility measurements on ground surfaces, outcrops and soil and rock samples.
The SM-20 magnetic susceptibility meter is a useful instrument for a large number of geological and geophysical applications, combining high sensitivity (10-6 SI), pocket size and very light weight.

Multi Kappa and SM-20 Magnetics

The temperature stabilization of the Multi Kappa allows for profile surveys without the need to set zero frequently. In mobile surveys, rapid GPS sampling is appreciated. Interchangeable coils/sensors of different diameters allow the optimal depth-horizontal resolution relationship to be chosen.
The SM-20 magnetic susceptibility meter is a useful instrument for a large number of geological and geophysical applications, combining high sensitivity (10-6 SI), pocket size and very light weight.

Key Features - Multi Kappa and SM-20

Measuring modes:
Spectrum & Assay – spectral measurement with evaluation of K, U, Th (%, ppm, ppm) and natural gamma dose (nGy/h or nSv/h) concentrations with display (isotope library) and selectable measurement duration (according to IAEA).
Dose Rate – Natural gamma dose measurement (nGy/h or nSv/h) with selectable observation time (according to IAEA).
Search – fast search using a cps (counts per second) histogram and loud sound signalling (90 dB speaker) with a programmable cps range and limit values.
Spectrum & Assay and Dose Rate modes are used for spot, borehole and continuous measurements and with GPS coordinates.

SM-20
Useful instrument for a wide range of geological and geophysical applications
High sensitivity (10-6 SI)
Pocket size and very light
Designed specifically for field geologists and for rapid laboratory testing for rock or drill core analysis and classification.
It allows basic differentiation of rocks (diamagnetic, paramagnetic and ferromagnetic) as well as the precise quantification of their susceptibilities.
The original sensor together with a new signal processing method provide advanced features of this kappa meter
The SM-20 instrument is very simple and comfortable to operate with just two buttons.
By connecting it to a computer, the recorded data is easily downloaded for further analysis, thus allowing comments to be added to each point.
Lithium batteries and automatic shut-off function provide long life
