Material electrical conductivity meters

An easy and quick way to determine the electrical conductivity with precision and accuracy.

Our range of non-destructive conductivity meters for non-ferrous metals

  • SIGMASCOPE SMP350

    SIGMASCOPE® SMP350

    Measures the electrical conductivity of non-ferrous metals.

  • SIGMASCOPE GOLD B & C

    SIGMASCOPE® GOLD B & C

    Measures authenticity of gold bullion, coins and ingots.

The SIGMASCOPE® SMP350 and GOLD B measure the electrical conductivity using the phase-sensitive eddy current method, which is approved by both DIN EN 2004-1 and ASTM E 1004 for determining conductivity. This kind of signal evaluation allows for contact-free determination of a substrate’s electrical conductivity, even under paint or plastic coatings up to 500 μm thick. This method also marginalises the influence of surface roughness.

Features and applications of our SIGMASCOPE® SMP350 conductivity meter

Applications:

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
  • Inspection of 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

Features:

  • Statistical display of significant values such as mean value, standard deviation, min, max and range
  • Manufacturer’s certificate is included in the scope of supply
  • Extremely easy calibration and normalisation procedure
  • Measurement in “continuous display mode” for running a scan over a region of a surface.
  • Easily interchangeable units of measurement (MS/m or %IACS)
  • Measurement range: 0.5 – 65 MS/m or
    1 – 112% IACS
  • USB interface for data exporting together with a PC software is included
  • Measurements pursuant to ASTM E 1004 and DIN EN 2004-1
  • SMP350 fulfills Boeing specification BAC 5651

Features and applications of our SIGMASCOPE® GOLD B & C conductivity gauge

Applications:

Precious metal alloys and fine gold all differ in their electrical conductivity, making this physical dimension ideal for material analysis of bullion and coins. In just a few seconds the SIGMASCOPE GOLD can determine the conductivity of a sample with an unmatched precision:

  • Quality assurance and sorting of gold bullion bars
  • Authentication of gold bullion alloys
  • Assessing hardness and strength of gold bullion bars
  • Testing the homogeneity of gold bullion bars

Features:

  • Statistical display of significant values such as mean value, standard deviation, min, max and range
  • Manufacturer’s certificate is included in the scope of supply
  • Extremely easy calibration and normalisation procedure
  • Measurement in “continuous display mode” for running a scan over a region of a surface.
  • Easily interchangeable units of measurement (MS/m or %IACS)
  • Measurement range: 0.5 – 65 MS/m or
    1 – 112% IACS
  • USB interface for data exporting together with a PC software is included
