Magnetic Flux Indicators

Laminated Magnetic Flux Indicator Strips


Magnetic Flux Indicators provide a guide to the direction of the magnetic
field, and can provide an estimate of the magnetic field strength.

The indicators have a core of high-permeability steel with brass cladding


0.05 mm thick on both sides. The core material has three slots of different
widths, providing discontinuities that show as linear indications in a mag-
netic field.

Laminated Magnetic Flux Strips are stiffer than INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
