MULTI-FUNCTION KAPPABRIDGES
magnetic susceptibility - anisotropy systems

MFK1-FA Spinner, 3 operating frequencies
MFK1-FB Static, 3 operating frequencies
MFK1-A Spinner, single operating frequency
MFK1-B Static, single operating frequency

     
The MFK1 Kappabridges are the worlïs most sensitive commercially available laboratory instruments for measuring anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) as well as in-phase and out-of-phase bulk susceptibilty in weak variable magnetic fields.
The MFK1-FA and MFK1-FB models also enable measurement at 3 different operating frequencies. The MFK1-FA and MFK1-A models can measure, in cooperation with CS-3 / CS-L devices, high and low temperature variation of magnetic susceptibility.

General Description

MFK1 Kappabridges consist of the pick-up unit and control unit connected with PC computer.

In principle the instruments represent a super-precise fully automatic inductivity bridges. They are equipped with automatic zeroing system (in both real and imaginary components) and automatic compensation of the thermal drift of the bridge unbalance as well as automatic switching appropriate measuring range.
The measuring coil is designed as
a compensated solenoid with an outstanding field homogeneity.

  MFK1-FA and MFK1-A Kappabridges
Spinner / Static combination

Both models measure the AMS of a slowly spinning specimen. One has to adjust the specimen only in three perpendicular positions. The measurement is rapid (about 2 minutes per specimen) and precise, profiting from many susceptibility determinations in each plane perpendicular to the axis of specimen rotation.
