Pocket Gaussmeter

The Pocket Gaussmeter is so reliable and accurate that you are always confident about the magnetic field strengths you read, regardless of the application. Unlike dial gauss indicators, the calibration and accuracy of the Pocket Gaussmeter is unaffected by strong magnetic fields. In addition, its probe enables measuring in small  gaps such as in pipes to be welded.

The Pocket Gaussmeter is available in two models to best suit your needs.  The PGM-Bar is the perfect choice for welders when the need to know when to weld is imperative.  The bar graph displays three colors indicating the ability to weld the part being measured.  Green bars indicate low levels safe for welding, yellow bars indicate slightly higher levels pointing to the possibility of problem welding  and  red bars indicate high levels of magnetism being detected.  Our PGM-LCD is for the engineer on the move.  This pocket version gives reliable digital readings from -1999 Gauss to +1999 Gauss.  With a detachable probe, this 1.5" X 2" meter is always at hand for an instant read of your machine.

To assure consistent accuracy in readings, the Pocket Gaussmeter automatically shuts off when 20% of battery charge is remaining. After automatic shut-off, a battery charge will be necessary to restore operation of the meter.

No longer do operators, maintenance personnel, welders and engineers have to settle for measurements by an uncalibrated or defective magnetic indicator or magnetometer. They can now be assured of performance and eliminate doubts about accurate magnetic measurements.

The Pocket Gaussmeter sets a new standard for small gauss meters by providing quality, accuracy and dependability in a compact, pocket size.

  • A high performance instrument that is carried in your pocket.
  • Accurate DC gauss measurements.
  • Undamaged by intense magnetic fields.
  • Measures in any orientation, even in gaps.
  • Durable and built for longevity
  • No external wires.
  • Incredibly easy to use.
  • Easy zero adjust by the operator.

Pocket GaussMeter

To Activate:
Press the Power button

To Calibrate:
Adjust the Zero Adjust Knob until the meter reads Zero. (Earth's field of 1/2 gauss is not readable on the DC meter or graph scale of 20 gauss per bar).

To Operate:
Orient the probe so that the maximum magnetism is directed onto the flat side of the probe tip.

To Control Magnetism:
Use the Auto Degauss to remove or control magnetism to safe levels.

To Determine Weldability:
Make readings while watching Bar Signal Display indicating the following:

  • Green: Safe to Weld, < 40 gauss
  • Orange: Probably Safe, but questionable (40-60 gauss)
  • Red: Unsafe to Weld, > 60 gauss

Battery Replacement:
Simply unscrew the screw on the rear of the meter and replace the battery inside.

Note: Tampering with components inside the instrument will void the warranty.

  • We currently have 7 MPS Pocket Gaussmeters in our plant and would like to get more. The seven we have work great and are still in use today. We need more for more production lines. I would like a price quote on one and is there a group rate if purchasing more than one? Thanks so much.
