How to Choose a Teslameter or Fluxmeter

Choosing the right Teslameter or Fluxmeter depends on your specific measurement needs and environment. Here are some key steps and suggestions:

1. Identify the Measurement Environment

First, determine your measurement environment. Are you measuring physical samples or environmental magnetic fields? Hand-held Teslameters are more suitable for measuring physical samples.

2. Determine the Measurement Units

A quick way to choose between a Teslameter and a Fluxmeter is by identifying the units of the parameters you need to measure:

• Teslameter: Ideal for measurements in units like Gauss (G), Tesla (T), Oersted (Oe), or A/m.

• Fluxmeter: Best for measurements in units like Weber (Wb), milliWeber (mWb), or Volt-second (Vs).

3. Consider Measurement Precision and Automation Needs

Consider the level of precision required and whether automation is necessary:

• Low Precision Needs: For basic testing, TUNKIA hand-held Teslameters or Gaussmeters are sufficient. Teslameters are ideal for measuring larger magnetic fields (typically 2mT ~ 3000mT), while Fluxgate Gaussmeters are better for smaller fields (typically 0 ~ 2000μT).

• High Precision and Automation: If higher precision or automation is needed, instruments with communication interfaces are recommended for easier upgrades.

4. Measuring Geomagnetic and Weak Magnetic Fields

For geomagnetic and weak magnetic field measurements, consider using:

• TM4100B Hand-held Fluxgate Magnetometer (Single-axis)

• TM4300B Hand-held Triaxial Fluxgate Magnetometer

• TM4830B Fluxgate Magnetometer

5. Importing Measurement Data to a Computer

If you need to import measurement data into a computer, we recommend the following products:

• TM6100 Gauss Meter

• TM7500 Flux Meter

• TM4300B Hand-held Triaxial Fluxgate Magnetometers

• TM5340B Handheld Triaxial Tesla Meter

These devices have open communication protocols, allowing customers to develop their own software, build automated systems, and integrate them into the production process.

6. Measuring Alternating Magnetic Fields

When measuring alternating magnetic fields, it's essential to determine the magnetic field frequency:

Standard Alternating Magnetic Fields: For frequencies up to 500Hz, consider using the TM5100A (single-axis magnetic field) or the TM5340B (three-axis magnetic field).

Automated Measurement Systems: For automation, the TM6100B with a communication interface is recommended.

Please note that TUNKIA currently does not offer equipment suitable for measuring pulsed frequencies, and accuracy cannot be guaranteed for frequencies exceeding 500Hz.
