Can this be used to read the magnetism of a Steel plate? Is there a way to calibrate it?

If you are referring to discrete magnetism caused by the milling and the magnetic field of the Earth that would be a no with my experience with this device. It is an excellent tool for detecting radiant fields generated from other sources, but the fields generated in Geo-magnetism are well below the detection threshold of this device as best as I can tell. If however you are trying to read the EM field generated by inducing current through said steel plate this is your device!

I don't know how the "magnetic test" got started but - A typical composition of 18% chromium and 10% nickel, commonly known as 18/10 stainless, is often used in cutlery and high quality cookware. You will find that this type of stainless steel is Austenitic 316 Series and as such is non-magnetic, therefore the use of a magnet is useless and doesn't really tell you anything. From Wikipedia "Austenite, also known as gamma phase iron (-Fe), is a metallic, non-magnetic allotrope of iron"

Just rotate it and stick it using the other magnets. If that doesn't work, just zero it out on a level surface and try reading it again or you can always use the manual and recalibrate it.

I do not know of anyway to calibrate it. There might be a way, but I do not know. Ask BOSCH.

This unit is touchy...but it will detect wood, metal and electrical. It is vital to calibrate it each time before you try the actual scan I place the unit against the wall and my other hand on the same wall this helps to calibrate it. After it settles you can start your scan.

It is designed and calibrated for specific buidling products. It would not work for this use, and was not the least bit accurate. Using both probes on the same material did not produce results that were remotely similar. I returned the product.

I do not have a gauss meter but I can tell you this. The relative strength is not much. It can hold a paperclip to itself but it cannot hold itself to anything metal as you would expect a magnet to do. That is why I dropped my rating. I don't consider it a true magnetic product even thought it does have magnets in it.

I use E-6000 but I'm sure you can... I've used a glue gun for other types of magnets.

If it is made of ferrous metal, so the magnet will work, you should not have any issues.

I cant really tell,Its to close to metal to test with a magnet.I can tell you this,it works and sounds great. It was a perfect fit for my epi les paul special II. You would be hard pressed to beat this saddle at this price. I haven't had a problem with it and I have had it better than a year.

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves. The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters. If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within the microwave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

No, you cannot measure a gauss values that high. Also this meter will not measure permanent magnets, as it is designed to measure power line EMF only (AC). Thank you for your interest in Flir/Extech products. Let me know If I can provide further assistance. Best Regards, Steve Hyde Technical Support

You could probably get it to work with a little bit of effort? It works by reading a magnetetic bolt that holds a disk to the wheel. Just use the magnet and calibrate itto the size tire just like you would for a motorcycle.

If by "calibrate" you mean manually set the thermometer to a specific temperature, then the answer is "no". On the other hand, if you mean by "calibrate" to check out against a preset temperature, then "yes" you could do this..e.g., immersing the probe in an ice bath.

That's a good Q. I wondered the same. Even if it is a bit magnetized, I don't think it should make any difference. How about turning it around regularly ?? Or flip it over ....?? Stev
