Model 165U SRM

The Model 165U SRM (Superconducting Rock Magnetometer) System is intended for research laboratories measuring the
magnetic properties of rock samples.

The Model 165U SRM is a complete rock magnetometer system including:

SRM System: The SRM System includes the superconducting rock magnetometer and its support measurement and control units. (3 measurement axes with 3DC SQUIDS)

Degaussing System: The Degaussing nested coil system consists of two Helmholtz transverse coils and an axial coil mounted in-line. The axial coil has a maximum field of 5KG, the transverse coils a maximum field of 3KG.

Automatic U Channel Sample Handler: Samples are arranged on a removable plastic tray with a capacity of 99 rock samples. XV horizontal tray movement is computer controlled, and the system can be configured with the software program to handle any sample count. A motor ­driven air vacuum provides sample pickup from the tray, and up/down and rotational motors control sample movement through the system.

IRM and ARM Systems: IRM and ARM coils are mounted in-line. The maximum IRM field is 10 KG, the maximum ARM field is 10 G. 

System Software: The system is controlled by Paleomag software, developed in Visual Basic and upgraded to support the latest SRM. It allows both manual and automatic sample handling, degaussing and data acquisition via a SAM file data format.
