The MPS Gaussometer is a rugged, hand-held, analog gaussmeter designed specifically to be an effective tool for measuring magnetism in the field. Prior to developing the Gaussometer, MPS engineers had 15 years of experience with several types of analog and digital gaussmeters. They discovered that the meters were either hard to read or large and cumbersome. For example, the display on a digital gaussmeter continuously jumps and changes making it difficult to read. The analog meters, because they are large and cumbersome, are difficult to use in the field. This is why Magnetic Products and Services developed a portable and easy to use analog gaussmeter that has the accuracy of a high-performance laboratory instrument.

Having experienced the rigors of the field, MPS has built the Gaussometer and probes with the highest quality materials to ensure long durability. Past experience with other gaussmeters requiring frequent probe replacement proved to be not only inconvenient, but costly. To reduce unnecessary probe damage, Magnetic Products and Services developed a flexible and resilient DC probe made of fiberglass. This probe, referred to as the DCP/GR DC Hall effect probe, will give you easy access into tight areas that in the past may have been difficult if not impossible to reach.

The MPS Gaussometer is available in AC, DC, and AC/DC models. Model GM/X, for example, includes a AC gauss coil probe for measuring alternating magnetic fields and a DC Hall effect probe for measuring direct magnetic fields.

For the price, the MPS Gaussometer is the lightest, most accurate, and easiest to use gaussmeter available.
