KT-10 v2 Magnetic Susceptibility/Conductivity Meter - The Original Tool

The KT-10 v2 (click for full specs) is the most popular model of magnetic susceptibility meters in our range.

It incorporates a range of new technologies including Bluetooth Wireless Communication to store Magnetic Susceptibility Readings integrated with GPS coordinates, more Accurate Scanning and GeoView Visualization Software.

The units allow users to input depth correlation information, receive measurement results in either SI or CGS Units, and feature large internal memories.

Additional benefits such as high sensitivity and a data management/visualisation software for the PC are standard in both configurations.

The standard KT-10 v2 can also be upgraded to either a KT-10 Plus, KT-10 S/C or KT-10 Plus S/C:

•  'S/C' means the unit is capable of both Magnetic Susceptibility and Conductivity measurements.

• The 'Plus' means the unit has extended Susceptibility from 0.001 x 10¯³ - 1999.99 x 10¯³ SI up to 0.001 x 10¯³ - 9999.99 x 10¯³ SI, and gives the user the % Iron Ore Concentration Estimates for Magnetite.

Note: As standard, we stock the Circular Reading Face (Coil) but are able to order in the Rectangle Reading Face (Coil) if preferred. Image below shows the Rectangle and Circular Reading Faces (coils).

KT‐20 Magnetic Susceptibility/Conductivity/IP‐Resistivity Meter - The latest innovation

The KT‐20 is an advanced handheld instrument capable of measuring the magnetic susceptibility, conductivity, chargeability, resistivity and density of a sample.

Its' modular design provides users the ability to employ different sensors of optimal frequencies for either magnetic susceptibility or conductivity measurements.

The unit can be supplied with curved sensors in addition to the standard circular and rectangular designs, and they can easily be interchanged allowing the KT‐20 to measure smaller or larger sized samples or cores.

The KT‐20 also has an IP/resistivity sensor to measure the chargeability and resistivity of a sample.

Additionally, density measurements are available as an option, providing more information about the sample.

A picture, audio note, text note and GPS coordinates can be added to the measurements to increase the amount of information one can attach to each record.

**IMPORTANT NOTE WHEN ORDERING a KT-20**

When ordering a KT-20 you need to order both the KT-20 console and then a suitable sensor.

The KT-20 console is sold in 3 main configurations:

• Magnetic susceptibility readings only (MSKT20S)

• Conductivity readings only (MSKT20C)

• Magnetic Susceptibility/ Conductivity Readings (MSKT20)

Then there are a range of KT-20 Sensors to choose from to suit the type of readings you are taking: 

• The 1khz sensor frequency is only suitable for magnetic susceptibility readings.

• The 100khz sensor frequency is only suitable for conductivity readings.

• The 10kz sensor frequency allows for magnetic susceptibility or conductivity readings.

• The Dual frequency sensors are able to take both magnetic susceptibility readings and conductivity readings.

We also offer a  full repair and maintenance on the complete KT-10 & KT-20 range and upgrades to higher models - contact our team to find out more.

FAQs about the KT-10 & the KT-20

Q1. How often should I calibrate my Magnetic Susceptibility/Conductivity 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 - Purchase a set of magnetic susceptibility calibration pads for ultimate peace of mind.

• Option 2 - 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). 

Q2. What’s the main difference between the KT-10 and KT-20?

The KT-10 is a handheld magnetic susceptibility and conductivity meter, which can be used to solely measure magnetic susceptibility or conductivity, or to measure both simultaneously. The KT-10 has a 10 kHz operating frequency and comes with a fixed sensor available in either a circular or rectangular design.

The KT-20 is a modular physical property measuring system with interchangeable sensors, which can be used to solely measure magnetic susceptibility or conductivity, to measure both simultaneously, and to measure IP/resistivity and density. A variety of interchangeable sensors are available in different shapes.
