The Sherwood MSB Auto Magnetic Susceptibility Balance is a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-controlled instrument designed for precise measurement of the magnetic properties of solids, liquids, and gases. Magnetic susceptibility is defined as the ratio of magnetization induced in a substance to the applied magnetic field strength, providing critical insight into material behavior for research, industrial quality control, and analytical laboratories.

Magnetic Behavior Overview

All materials exhibit distinct magnetic behaviors:

• Ferromagnetic: Strongly attracted to magnetic fields and capable of retaining permanent magnetization.

• Paramagnetic: Weakly attracted to magnetic fields, observable only under external magnetization.

• Diamagnetic: Repelled by magnetic fields, detectable only when exposed to an external magnetic field.

The MSB Auto detects these variations with enhanced sensitivity and precision, making it ideal for new analytical applications across a wide range of scientific and industrial settings.

Key Features & Benefits

• True Portability: Weighing just under 2.2 kg, the MSB Auto comes with a rechargeable battery providing up to 8 hours of operation without mains power.

• Rapid Setup: Supplied in a robust carrying case, the instrument is fully operational in minutes, requiring only a travel clamp and adjustable leveling.

• Microprocessor-Controlled Accuracy: The 8751 microprocessor stores the balance calibration constant and automatically converts measurements to volume susceptibility (c.g.s. units).

• Mass Susceptibility Calculation: Enter the sample weight; internal sensors detect tube diameter and length, providing mass susceptibility directly on the display.

• Auto-Zero & Tare Functions: The balance auto-zeros when no sample is present, and the Tare key allows easy blank-tube adjustment.

• Versatility: Measures solids, liquids, and gases, supporting a wide variety of research and industrial quality control applications.

Applications

• Research laboratories for material characterization

• Industrial quality control for magnetic material testing

• Solid, liquid, and gas susceptibility analysis

• Educational and scientific demonstrations of magnetic properties

• Magnetic behavior studies in chemicals, minerals, alloys, and polymers
