KT-10 Magnetic Susceptibility Meter (Rectangular Sensor)

Please Note:

This KT-10 model with a "Rectangular Sensor" is recommended for taking measurements of core samples as it maximizes contact of the sample.  This model can also be used on other rock samples but not recommended to measure uneven surfaces like outcrops. We recommend using the KT-10 with the circular coil sensor which has the additional pin mode measuring capability.

This KT-10 meter is a handheld instrument that measures the magnetic susceptibility of a geological sample or core in either SI or CGS units. This meter produces repeatable results, and includes features such as correction for split and full cores, the ability to input information to correlate measurements to their appropriate depths, a built-in microphone to record voice notes, and the GeoView data management/visualization software. It has a compact and rugged design, making it ideal for use in the field, core shack, or lab. Comes with GeoView software, two AA Alkaline batteries, and Cordura padded case.

KT-10 STANDARD FEATURES:
· Stand-alone unit with display and data storage.
· Maximum sensitivity of 1 x 10-6 SI units on smooth surfaces.
· Three modes of operation: discrete measurements, continuous scanning (20 readings per second), or borehole (correlate measurements to their depth in the borehole).
· Measure core split and full drill core, rock samples, chips or powdered samples.
· Split and full core corrections for standard drill rod diameters (AQ, BQ, HQ, NQ and PQ) and non-standard sizes (2.4 to 12 cm).

Data running average and standard deviation values displayed during discrete measurements; data averages and maximum values provided during scanning.

· Built-in microphone to record voice notes with measurements.

· GeoView software to organize and visualize data on a PC.

· Fast and Accurate Scanning: 20 readings per second and stores 4 averaged readings during the same period.
· Large Memory: 8 GB memory that can store up to 4,000 total records. Users can take scanner measurements with up to 480 data points per record, and discrete measurements with 120 seconds of voice notes per reading.
· Quality Control (QC) Parameters: Data running average and standard deviation values displayed during discrete measurements; data averages and maximum values provided during scanning.
· Depth Correlation: Correlates every core measurement to its depth (for discrete measurements) or to depth intervals (for continuous scanning). Information such as borehole I.D., box number, the number of rows in a box, start and end depths, as well as depth intervals may be entered for correlation.
· Data Input/Output: USB and Bluetooth (GPS/phone pairing).
· Battery Life: Up to 3,000 measurements without voice recorder while alkaline batteries.
· Operating Temperature Range: -20 to 60 degrees Celsius.

**How often should I calibrate my Magnetic Susceptibility Meter?

All units are factory calibrated before shipping to you. This means that as long as the meter does not suffer from serious physical damage (i.e. the measuring coil gets broken), periodic calibration should not be required. If you are in doubt about your unit's accuracy, you can easily calibrate it for magnetic susceptibility measurements yourself.

Option 1 - Use a rock with a flat surface and thickness of at least 2 inches, which is homogeneous in its magnetic susceptibility. Draw a circle on the rock to make sure you always take the measurement at the same location, same angle and ideally same temperature (if possible).

Option 1 - Purchase a calibration pad for ultimate peace of mind (see below in our recommended products)
