About

Mag-13 three-axis fluxgate magnetometers offer accurate measurements of magnetic fields. They have many applications, from geophysics and mineral exploration, to physics, defence, and space. Mag-13 fluxgate magnetometers are available in multiple enclosure types, and unpackaged, making them suitable for use in the laboratory, in the field, and underwater. They are easy to integrate into your own measurement platform, and can be combined with Bartington’s Power Supplies and Data Acquisition Units to create a complete measurement system. Key features include packaged, unpackaged and submersible models, noise levels down to <5pTrms/√Hz at 1Hz, measuring ranges from ±70 to ±1000µT, and bandwidth to 3kHz.
