Technology type
Technical advantages and economic benefits
- based on magnetodynamic method of control that allows you to
use the measuring element in the form of multiple-thread coil, which does not
require any power supply;
- has a small size converter (max Ø16×50 mm) that allows for local
measurements (e.g. to determine the limits of magnetic spots).
Technology differentiation and uniqueness
The handheld device does not require AC power and makes it possible not only to determine the level of residual magnetization, but also controls the induction of magnetic fields (up to 20 mT).
Context in which technology was identified
ION-4 devices are introduced and exploited in many enterprises (Transport Republican Unitary Enterprise “Minsk Department of Belarusian Railway”, locomotive depot of Lida, Volkovysk, etc.).
Technological keywords
