SIGMASCOPE SMP350 Electrical Conductivity Measurement

SIGMASCOPE SMP350 – High-Precision Electrical Conductivity Measurement for Non-Ferrous Metals

The SIGMASCOPE SMP350 Electrical Conductivity Measurement is a portable, high-accuracy instrument engineered for non-destructive electrical conductivity measurement of non-ferromagnetic metals. Utilizing the eddy current method in accordance with ASTM E1004 and DIN EN 2004-1, the SMP350 ensures precise results—even through coatings up to 500 μm thick. Ideal for quality assurance, material identification, heat treatment verification, and alloy sorting, this instrument is trusted in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and metal processing.

 Key Features of SIGMASCOPE SMP350
