Non-destructive ferrite content testing

Steel is often used in places where it needs to resist corrosion and acid, often also at high temperatures.
Our solution: the Feritscope® FMP30, a handheld gauge for accurate measurement of ferrite content.

  • Feritscope FMP30

    FMP30 FERITSCOPE

    Ferrite content measurement handheld gauge with interchangeable probes, covering a wide range of applications.

  • Feritscope probes

    Probes

    Interchangeable probes for numerous measurement applications.

  • Feritscope calibration standards

    Calibration Standards

    Wide range of calibration standards for precise Ferrite content determination.

The Feritscope® FMP30 is a robust and mobile device that is suitable for both on-site and laboratory measurement. It is a welding industry recognised and proven tool with over 40 years in service. The Feritscope® FMP30 measures the ferrite content in austenitic and duplex steels according to the magnetic induction method.

It is suited for measurements according to the Basler- Standard and according to DIN EN ISO 17655. Feritscope® FMP30 is extremely suited for measurements of austenitic platings as well as weld seams in stainless steel pipes, containers, boilers or other products made of austenitic or duplex steels.

Calibration Standards

In order to obtain comparable measurement results, the instruments must be adjusted or calibrated using standards that can be traced to internationally recognised secondary standards. For this purpose, the IIW (International Institute of Welding, UK) developed secondary standards that have been determined by the TWI (The Welding Institute, UK) according to the method described in DIN EN ISO 8249 and ANSI/AWS A4.2. Helmut Fischer offers certified calibration standard sets that are traceable to the TWI secondary standards for corrective and master calibrations. The standards of the FISCHER calibration standard sets list in addition to the Ferrite numbers FN and also the % Fe values.
