What is Flux Meter?

 

The Flux Meter is a permanent-magnet instrument with a moving coilsearch coil connected to the moving coil is long or short, and in consequence the instrument is useful in iron testing, where the time taken for a flux to collapse or reverse may be several seconds. The deflection is read from the initial position of a pointer on a quadrant scale when the pointer reaches its maximum deflection; after this the pointer drifts slowly back to a zero position. A typical full-scale deflection would be given by a change of 10 μWb-t.

Strong air-gap flux densities can be measured by an alternative method in which a small coil is rotated at a high and known speed, the induced e.m.f. being proportional to the local flux density.

 

The Principle and Application of The Fluxmeter Are Introduced

 

 

A fluxmeter is a magnetic measuring instrument for measuring magnetic flux. Used for measuring space magnetic field and studying magnetic properties of materials. There are three types commonly used: magnetoelectric, electronic and digital integral.

 

The principle of the fluxometer
In, when measuring the change of magnetic flux φ in the coil, there is an induced current through the frame winding, causing the frame to produce a certain skewness α, φ is proportional to α, and the magnetic flux (Wb) is φ =(Cα /N)×10 Where C is the impact coefficient of the fluxometer, mWb/ lattice, standard fluxometer, C =1; N is the number of turns of the measurement coil. The magnetic flux is related to the product of the magnetic field strength H at the location and the average cross-sectional area S of the measuring coil, so the magnetic field strength H= φ /S = (Cα /NS)×10(2) magnetic flux is directly measured, and the magnetic field strength is calculated. The digital fluxgate magnetometer needs to be corrected before use to ensure the accuracy of measurement.

 

The construction of the fluxmeter
Magnetoelectric fluxmeters:
The commonly used magneto-electric system fluxometer is similar in structure to the magneto-electric system galvanometer , but no resistance torque is set. A soft guide wire without torque is used to introduce the current into the movable coil, so the coil can stay at any position.

The fluxmeter is usually equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which can adjust the pointer or cursor to the position on the dial for easy reading of data. When in use, the measuring coil L1 in a constant magnetic field is connected to the moving coil L2 of the fluxmeter. If the magnetic flux in L1 is changed, for example, L1 is moved out of the magnetic field (△ φ = φ), then the electromotive force is induced in L1, so that the pointer of the fluxometer is deflected from the original position α1 to the new position α2.

The difference between the two positions (δα =α2-α1) is proportional to the time integral of the induced electromotive force, and thus is proportional to the change of magnetic flux δφ. And △ φ is equal to φ in numerical relation, can determine the magnetic flux φ The magneto - electric flux meter is divided by milliweber, also known as milliweber meter. It is equipped with an adjusting mechanism, which can adjust the pointer to zero or other convenient reading position before reading. However, its sensitivity is low, only 0.1 milliweber/minute. If higher sensitivity is required, an impact galvanometer or an electronic or digital integrating fluxometer should be used.

Introduction To the Advantages and Disadvantages of Fluxmeter and Gauss Meter

Advantages of gauss meter: Convenient, intuitive, easy to carry.


Disadvantages of gauss meter: Point test, uncertainty, different people measure different, different manufacturers Gauss meter measurement value is not the same, the same Gauss meter probe different measurement value is not the same, test data has great divergence, the reason is the Gauss meter probe chip, probe packaging thickness, chip location, test Gauss value is difficult to be the same point test, chip size is different At the same time, the magnetic field of the magnet meter is not uniform. The factory standard of Gauss meter is calibrated in uniform magnetic field, so it is difficult to unify and compare the values measured by Gauss meter.

 

Advantages of fluxmeter: It is an ideal instrument for measuring magnetic field and flux. The measurement is the overall average value of the magnet, which can reflect the overall performance of the magnet. The value of the magnetic flux can be completely compared and transferred. The magnetic flux can reflect the overall performance of the magnet. For example, if the surface magnetic field is high (a certain point is high, which can not represent all), the magnetic flux is not necessarily large; on the contrary, if the magnetic flux is large, the magnetic flux performance must be good (the synthesis of all magnetic lines in the magnet).

 

Disadvantages of fluxmeter: Coils of different sizes must be made for each magnet sample of different specifications. Strictly speaking, for very thin samples, the preparation of detection coils is difficult, laborious and inefficient.
Magnetic flux of magnetometer = field strength x area (under the condition of uniform magnetic field)
The magnetic field strength of Gauss meter is the field strength of "a certain point".

 

Fundamentals of Magnetic Measurement

 

Magnetic induction intensity
Magnetic induction intensity is a physical quantity used to describe the properties of the magnetic field, expressed by B, the direction of B at a point in the magnetic field is the direction of the magnetic field at the point, and the size of B indicates the strength of the magnetic field at the point.

In the SI system of units (International System of Units), the unit of magnetic induction strength is [volts · second/meter 2], and [volts]·[second] is called Weber, so the unit of magnetic induction strength is called [Weber/meter 2] or [Tesla], referred to as [T], in the CGSM system of units, the unit of magnetic induction strength is [Gauss]. The units are denoted by symbols: V is [volts], s is [seconds], m is [meters], Wb is [Weber], T is [T], Gs is [Gauss], mT is [millite].
1T = 1Wb/m2=104Gs=103mT (1)

 

Magnetic line of force, magnetic flux and magnetic flux continuity theorem
Magnetic field is depicted graphically with magnetic field lines. The magnetic field lines of various magnetic fields generated by current are shown in Figure 1. Magnetic field lines are headless and tailless closed lines surrounding the current, and the direction of current and the direction of return of magnetic field line conform to the right-hand rule.

We specify that the tangent direction of any point of the magnetic field line is the direction of the magnetic field (i.e., B) at that point, and that the number of magnetic field lines per unit area perpendicular to the B vector is equal to the magnitude of the B vector at that point. In other words, where the magnetic field is strong, the magnetic field line is denser, and where the magnetic field is weak, the magnetic field line is thinner.

The total number of lines of magnetic force passing through a surface is called the magnetic flux passing through the surface and is represented by Φ. The calculation of magnetic flux is shown in Figure 2. The area element is taken on the surface, and a θ Angle is formed between the direction of its normal line and the direction of B of the point. The magnetic flux of the element passing through the area is:
dφ=B×cosθ×ds (2)

So the total flux of S through the surface is
φ = # B×cosθ×ds (3)

When B is uniform and S is a plane and perpendicular to B, the magnetic flux through the S plane is:
φ = B×S (4)

This is a relationship that is often used in magnetic measurements.
Continuous flux theorem: When the S-plane is a closed surface, because the magnetic field line is a closed line, then the magnetic field line through the closed surface must be through the other parts of the closed surface, so the total magnetic flux through any closed surface must be equal to zero. To wit:
φ = # Bcosθds = 0 (5)

The unit of the magnetic flux is [Weber] in the SI system of units, [Maxwell] in the CGSM system of units, and the abbreviation [Mai] symbol is represented by Mx.
1Wb=108Mx (6)

 

Magnetic field strength, permeability and ampere-loop law
Magnetic field strength is a physical quantity introduced to facilitate the analysis of the relationship between magnetic field and current, it is also a vector, expressed by H, its relationship with magnetic induction intensity is:
H = B/μ (7)
Where: μ is the permeability of the magnetic medium, determined by the nature of the magnetic medium
Agreed. In SI units, the permeability of a vacuum is:
μ0 = 4π×10-7 Henry/m (8)

The unit of H is [ampere/meter], in the CGSM system of units, the permeability of a vacuum is 1, and the unit of H is [Oster], short for [Ao]. The units are represented by symbols: A is [ampere], Oe is [O], and H is [Henry].
1A/m = 4π×10-3 Oe (9)

Ampere's loop law: In a magnetic field, the H vector follows an arbitrarily closed curve
The line integral of sigma is equal to the algebraic sum of the currents enclosed in this closed curve. To wit:
# H×cosα×dl=∑I (10)
Where: α is the Angle between the tangent direction of the curve and the magnetic field direction of the point.

By using the Ampere-loop law, we can easily calculate the magnetic field generated by a current with a certain spatial symmetry. For example, calculate the magnetic field strength at the P point inside a uniformly tightly wound circular solenoid, as shown in Figure 4. Take the concentric circles of radius r through point P as the closed integral curve. Due to the symmetry relationship, the magnetic field strength at each point around the concentric circle is equal, and the direction of the magnetic field strength is along the tangent direction of the concentric circle, that is, α = 0, so:
# H×cosα×dl = H*2πr = NI (11)
So the magnetic field strength at point P: H = NI/ (2πr)

Where N is the number of winding turns. From this relationship, it can be seen that the strength of the magnetic field is determined only by the distribution of the current that generates the magnetic field, and has nothing to do with the properties of the magnetic medium.
