Special software SUFAR combines the measurements in three perpendicular planes to create a complete susceptibility tensor. The errors in determination of this tensor are estimated using a special method based on multivariate statistics principle.

The KLY-4S Spinner Kappabridge can measure, in the spinner mode, specimens 25.4 mm in diameter and 22 mm in height, or cubic specimens with an edge of 20 mm, or smaller cylindrical or cubical samples that can be encapsulated into a perspex cylinder or cube of the above dimensions.

However, to measure specimens with slightly different shapes (e.g. ODP type specimens), KLY-4S Kappabridge should be operated in the manual

non-spinner static mode using the same static 15 position measurement technique as with the KLY-4 Kappabridge. This optional non-spinner static mode can also be used for measuring the bulk susceptibility of rock fragment specimens.

KLY-4 Kappabridge
Static only version

Laboratories under budgetary constraints may prefer the lower priced static only KLY-4 Kappabridge. In contrast to the KLY-4S spinner/static version, the KLY-4 measures the AMS of only a static specimen in exactly the same way as originally developed for the KLY-2 Kappabridge. The specimen susceptibility is measured in 15 different positions following rotatable design. The positions are changed manually and, by using the included special software package SUFAM, the susceptibility tensor is calculated including the statistical errors of its determination.
The restricted capability of the KLY-4 to make measurements only in the static mode can be upgraded later to incorporate the more rapid KLY-4S spinner technique.
