DXV-250 VSM with Temperature Control

Product Overview

DXV-250 Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) with Temperature Control is designed for advanced magnetic materials research, quality control and product testing. The system enables precise measurement of magnetic properties such as magnetization curves, hysteresis loops and demagnetization curves.

The instrument can determine magnetic parameters including saturation magnetization, residual magnetization, coercive force, magnetic energy product and magnetic permeability. With integrated high and low temperature options, the system allows in-situ magnetic measurements over a wide temperature range.

It supports measurement of powders, granules, thin flakes and bulk magnetic materials.
