Overview

The magROCK, for measuring magnetic susceptibility in rocks, cores and samples, is a brand new development incorporating the latest in measurement and display technology while retaining the sound physical principles that enable improved sensitivity and accuracy.

magROCK Features

  • Low frequency, 750 Hz, for deep penetration of rock sample and is optimal for avoiding erroneous readings caused by the simultaneous measurement of conductivity and susceptibility.
  • A unique display feature of the magROCK is the reversal of the display for ‘ease-of-reading’ when the unit is held upside down.
  • The magROCK uses two ferrite cored coils that give higher sensitivity and accuracy.  This is not possible in smaller instruments.
  • Digital and graphical display
  • Sensitivity of the magROCK is 1 x 10-5 SI Units
  • Ruggedised assembly with ergonomic designed case
  • Large memory stores 30 sets of 128 readings – total of 3,840 individual readings!
  • The magROCK can operate in static or scanning mode
  • Data transfer by USB output (waterproof connector)
  • User friendly menu system

    • Other Features

  • Reads in both SI and CGS units
  • Four button control, easy to use in one hand
  • Scanning mode with audio to identify peak value
  • Rugged and waterproof (EP 65 case)
  • Low noise with very stable readings
  • Fast zeroing (approx. 9 seconds)
  • Long battery life

Accessories

The unit comes complete with a padded carrying case and data cable to communicate with a computer.

Software for downloading data to a PC is included and it runs on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.
