Meeting closure

During the meeting: device demonstrations

Bartington Instruments and Agico, Inc., will present the latest models of their instruments for laboratory measurement of magnetic susceptibility. These instruments will be available during the meeting for practical demonstration and basic introduction into the measuring techniques. Meeting participants - preferably those who do not own any magnetic susceptibility instrument - are encouraged to bring their own samples (in reasonable quantity) to be measured free of charge with the assistance of a company technician. (This offer does not apply to temperature variation of magnetic susceptibility due to rather time-consuming matter of the measurement; one curve may take more than two hours).

The test samples can be either solid or unconsolidated (e.g. soil, loess, powder, fly ash). Solid samples can be in the form of standard paleomagnetic cylinders (2.5 cm in diameter, ca. 2.2 in height), cubes (2 cm side) or any fragment that would fit into a cylindrical holder (3.5 cm in diameter, ca. 3.5 in height). Unconsolidated samples should be in a non-magnetic box or plastic bag, volume should be less than 30 ccm.

Agico instrument (Martin Chadima): Multi-function Kappabridge MFK1-FA Agico MFK1-FA is a Multi-Function Kappabridge for high precision measurement of magnetic susceptibility, its anisotropy and variations of magnetic susceptibility with field, temperature and frequency. They are equipped with automatic zeroing system (in both real and imaginary components) and automatic compensation.

Barington instrument (Ludovic Letourneur): MS2 - Magnetic Susceptibility System The MS2 magnetic susceptibility system comprises a meter with a wide range of sensors for measuring the magnetic susceptibility of soils and rocks, in both the field and laboratory, with a resolution to 2 x 10-6 SI units. Equipment is available for the measurement of susceptibility over the temperature range -200ºC to +850ºC. The MS2 meter is portable and is supplied with a carrying bag for field use, an instrument stand for laboratory use, a universal mains adaptor, vehicle dashboard connector, RS232 cable and a booklet on Environmental Magnetic Susceptibility measurements. MS3 - Bartington Magnetic Susceptibility System The new MS3 is the next generation product in our range of magnetic susceptibility instrumentation available with a range of sensors designed for different applications. Summary of MS3 main features: Measurement range to 26 SI (volume specific) - Measurement time from 100ms - USB or RS232 interface options
