AGICO KLY5 Kappabridges

General Description
The KLY5 Kappabridges are the most sensitive commercially available laboratory instruments for measuring magnetic susceptibility and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS). KLY5 series brings precise absolute measurement of both in-phase and out-of phase components of magnetic susceptibility and anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility.

Spinner/Static Combination

Fully equipped with special Up/Down mechanism and rotator allowing to use spinning specimen method which uses 3D rotator or classic rotator for easy, rapid and precise AMS measurements. Automatic routines for investigation field variations of AMS as well as bulk susceptibility are incorporated for better user comfort. Optional attachments CS4 and CS-L enables measurements of temperature variation of bulk susceptibility from -192°C up to 700°C.

3D Rotator Leaflet     3D Rotator Manual

3D-Rotator brings increased speed and better comfort of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility measurements. The 3D-Rotator rotates the specimen simultaneously about two axes with different velocities. The 2-axis rotation enables to determine 320 directional susceptibilities during a single anisotropy measurement. These directions are very well distributed on a sphere which makes the measuring design almost rotatable. The actual measurement is fully automated in such a way that, once the specimen is mounted into the rotator, it requires no additional manipulation to measure the full AMS tensor. The approximate duration of one anisotropy measurement including bulk susceptibility is 1.5 min, compared to more than 3 minutes when the classical (3-plane) rotator is used.

• Rapid anisotropy measurements with full autoranging
• One specimen in less than 2 minutes
• Specimen inserted only once
• One manual handling minimizes specimen misorientation
• Automated AMS measurement in variable fields
• Bulk susceptibility automatically measured right after anisotropy measurement
• Anisotropy tensor automatically calculated from 640 directional susceptibilities
• Sophisticated software support
• For MFK1-FA/A and KLY5-A Kappabridges

CS-4 Manual

The CS4 High Temperature Furnace Apparatus is optional attachment for KLY5-A, MFK2-FA and MFK1-FA/A Kappabridges designed for measurement of the temperature variations of low-field magnetic susceptibility of minerals, rocks and synthetic materials in the temperature range from ambient temperature to 700°C. Measurements can be performed under the protective argon atmosphere to prevent oxidation of measured specimen.The quasicontinuous measurement process is fully automated, being controlled by the software Sufyte5. Data processing software Cureval serves for advanced analysis of thermomagnetic curves such as empty furnace measurement substraction, Curie temperature estimation and separation of ferromagnetic and paramagnetic part of susceptibility.

Main Features:

• Lowest detectable susceptibility change 1×10^-7SI
• Measurement at high temperatures up to 700° C
• Software controlled heating and cooling modes
• Measurement in the air or argon atmosphere
• 500 to 700 pairs of susceptibility and temperature measurements to define a thermomagnetic curve
