Gaussmeters
On our website you will find two types of Gaussmeters and radioactivity meters to measure Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays. These Gaussmeters have a high accuracy at measuring electromagnetic waves generated by electromagnetic fields which are usually created by installations and operating instruments. These electromagnetic fields may have an influence on human beings, independently of their frequency (may cause someone to feel unwell, nervous or even cause internal burns). Sensitive electronic Gaussmeters have many different applications. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the radiation on the basis of the protection of workers at the workplace according to local regulations and internal rules of the workplace. There are two exposition areas: exposition area 1 and 2. The exposition area 1 includes all controlled areas, i.e. electric workshops and those areas controlled by the person in charge. This area also includes all general access areas in which it is ensured a brief exposition (brief in this context means the working time). The safety officer can measure magnetic radiation with our Gaussmeters in Gauss / Tesla. With a 50 Hz frequency, the limit value in the exposition for 1 is 1,36 µT, and in the area 2 this value will be 0,42 µT. If you can't find the Gaussmeters you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 (0)2380 987030 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

Where is electromagnetic radiation created?  Below you will see two pictures with different places where electromagnetic radiation is created. Electromagnetic waves do not need any medium to expand themselves but even in vacuum they travel at the speed of light regardless of their own frequency. They are transverse electromagnetic waves that means that their propagation direction is always perpendicular to the oscillation direction of electromagnetic fields. So, our PCE-G28 series Gaussmeters offer a combined external triaxial probe. These Gaussmeters meet the European standard (European Union Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive IEC 801-1 (EN-50081-1) as well as the regulations regarding laboratory and measuring techniques IEC 204 (EN 60204)). These Gaussmeters can also be calibrated according to the DIN ISO standard. The coil magnetic field is highly increased by iron due to the fact that iron atoms (or the order of the atoms) are magnetic. In ordinary iron, magnetic axis of atoms are pointed in random directions and the sum of their magnetic fields is almost zero. When a current flows inside a coil, its magnetic field arranges a magnetic axis of core atoms and add its magnetism to the one created by the electric current making it much more powerful. Gaussmeters are essential onboard satellites and airplanes which map the local structure of the earth's magnetic field, i.e in the search of oil. Gaussmeters are also used in security doors to detect guns and in stores and bookshops where their products are magnetically labelled to be used as a protection against theft. The Navy uses Gaussmeters to detect submarines under water and to help surveyors to locate boundaries which cannot be seen. Gaussmeters are needed to protect the environment, in medicine, in geology, in the building sector, vocational training as well as for the safe transport of scrap, waste or rubbish.
