HORN offers a wide range of services, including the ability to measure the permeability of various materials. Permeability measurement, also known as permeability, is a process that establishes the relationship between a generated magnetic field and the resulting magnetic flux density in a material. In this process, substances are magnetized, which increases the magnetic flux density, especially if they have high permeability and low magnetic resistance. Relative permeability, also known as magnetic susceptibility, is a characteristic quantity that indicates how strongly a material can be magnetized. This property plays a crucial role in materials such as stainless steel, where unwanted magnetism should be avoided. Permeability measurements are used to monitor and control the degree of magnetizability.
A synonym for permeability is magnetic conductivity. There is no specific unit for measuring permeability, as it is a dimensionless value. It is important not to confuse it with remanence or residual magnetism, as these properties describe how strongly a material is already magnetized. The focus is rather on how easily a material can be magnetized, which allows conclusions to be drawn about its magnetic properties.
It should be noted that the Earth's natural magnetic field strength can play a role in all magnetic field measurements, even though it is comparatively weak. In addition, permeability measurements can only be performed on weakly magnetic materials due to technical limitations.
HORN offers high-precision permeability measurements that provide valuable information about the magnetic properties of materials. These measurements play an important role in material characterization, quality assurance, and the development of innovative products in various industries.
