At various stages of the manufacturing process, an engineer or technician may be required to check to see if assemblies containing magnets meet certain specs. This could range from incoming inspection to final assembly and performance testing as part of QC. A gaussmeter or fluxmeter is commonly the instrument of choice for direct testing of magnetic components and assemblies. Particularly useful for field mapping and magnitude determination, gaussmeters provide much of the data that industrial technicians require when testing magnetic components and products containing magnets—and at a considerably lower cost than other, more complex instrumentation.
