Portable Gauss Meter with Probe, 200/2000mT, Accuracy Level 1/2/5

A handheld gauss meter is essential for anyone working with permanent magnets, electric motors, or magnetic assemblies. This handheld magnetic strength tester measures DC magnetic flux density with selectable accuracy levels—Class 1 (±1%), Class 2 (±2%), or Class 5 (±2%/±5% split range)—allowing you to choose the precision that fits your application. The instrument features a clear LCD display, unit switching between mT and Gauss, polarity indication, and a radial hall probe for easy surface measurement.

Specification

Feature

• Selectable accuracy Classes (Class 1/2/5): This gauss meter with probe lets you choose ±1%, ±2%, or split ±2%/±5% accuracy. Order the Class that matches your quality standard, from lab‑Class precision to cost‑effective production testing.
• Dual range: 200 mT (2000 Gs) / 2000 mT (20000 Gs): magnetic gauss meter covers both weak and strong magnetic fields – from small ferrite magnets to high‑strength neodymium. No need to buy separate instruments.
• Real‑time & peak hold modes: Capture maximum magnetic values instantly – essential for testing magnets with inconsistent surfaces or evaluating pulsed fields. One‑button switching simplifies operation. This handheld gauss meter simplifies dynamic testing.
• Unit switching (mT / Gauss): Instantly toggle between millitesla and Gauss. This magnetic strength tester adapts to international standards without manual conversion.

Installation

• Zero calibration: Power on this portable gauss meter with the ON/OFF key. Hold the radial probe away from any magnetic object (in free air) and press ZERO. The display resets to 000.00 – this removes environmental magnetic offset and prepares the magnetic strength tester for reliable readings.
• Measuring a magnetic field: Place the Hall probe tip perpendicular (90°) to the magnet surface. For permanent magnets, touch the probe directly to the pole face. To capture maximum values on uneven surfaces, press PEAK – this gauss meter for testing magnets will lock the highest reading. Use UNIT to switch between mT and Gs as needed.

Note: Magnetic field strength drops quickly with distance. Keep the DC gauss meter probe in firm contact with the magnet for repeatable, accurate results. This static magnetic field meter works best when the probe is oriented correctly.

Applications

Gauss meter for testing magnets works for magnet QC, motor inspection, and industrial maintenance. Use as an EMF gauss meter or DC gauss meter wherever static magnetic field measurement is needed. See the diagram below for common use cases.

FAQs

Q: What are the differences between these models?

A: Select model T-SMST01 for Class 1 accuracy, T-SMST02 for Class 2, T-SMST05 for Class 5.

Q: Which accuracy Class should I choose?

A: For lab calibration and R&D work, choose Class 1 (±1.0%). For general industrial QC and magnet sorting, Class 2 (±2.0%) is sufficient. Class 5 (±2.0% up to 1000 mT, ±5.0% from 1000–2400 mT) works well for production line magnet gauss meter tasks where cost matters more than ultra‑high precision.

Q: Can this portable gauss meter measure AC magnetic fields?

A: No. This unit is designed for static (DC) magnetic fields like permanent magnets and DC electromagnets. It is a DC gauss meter and will not accurately measure AC fields from 50/60 Hz power lines.

Q: How do I know which range to use?

A: Start with the 2000 mT range if you are unsure about the magnet's strength. If the reading is very low (e.g., below 199.9 mT), switch to the 200 mT range for better resolution (0.01 mT vs 0.1 mT). This dual‑range field strength meter adapts to both weak and strong magnets.
