DUAL Model JR-6 / JR-6A SPEED SPINNER MAGNETOMETERS

The world's most sensitive and accurate instrument for measurement of remanent magnetization of rocks based on classical (non-cryogenic) principle. Two rotation speeds are available, the higher one enabling the maximum sensitivity to be reached, and the lower one enabling the soft specimens to be measured.

Instruments enable measurement even of very weakly magnetic sedimentary rocks including limestone.


Operating Principles

Rock specimen rotates at a constant angular speed in the pick-up unit inside a pair of Helmholtz coils. In the coils an AC voltage is induced whose amplitude and phase depend on magnitude and direction of the remanent magnetization vector.

Typical JR-6 / JR-6A Applications

Palaeomagnetism: The changes of Earth's magnetic field in geological history can be investigated through the measurement of rock's remanent magnetization and the investigation of its stability. These data are also applicable to dating the age of rocks, to solving some tectonic problems or particular terrains (rotations of terrains, microplates), to dating the developments of mineralizations of ore deposits and to many geological problems.

Archaeo-magnetism: The changes of the Earth's magnetic field in human history can also be investigated. These investigations are mostly applicable to dating archeological materials.

Magnetometry: In the interpretation of ground or airborne magnetometric measurements it is useful to know whether the rock's magnetization is due to its induced or remanent component. Investigation of remanent magnetization can help to solve this problem.

Mineralogy: Using special capsule enabling smaller irregular specimens to be measured, impurities of ferromagnetic grains in para- or diamagnetic minerals can be investigated.

Model LDA-3A : AF- Demagnetizer system

The LDA-3A AF Demagnetizer serves for demagnetizing tumbling or static specimen by alternating magnetic field.
The demagnetization process is microprocessor-controlled and automated. One only sets up the demagnetization parameters, fixes the specimen into the specimen holder, and inserts the holder into the demagnetization coil. The rest of the demagnetizing process is performed automatically following the pre-set parameters.

Triple mu-metal shielding provides an effecive protection of the specimen from the Earth's magnetic field. The electrical current for producing the demagnetizing alternating field is derived from the electrical net current, filtered in such a way that all the higher harmonic components that may produce parasitic magnetizations are effectively attenuated.
