The F.W Bell 4048 Gauss/Tesla Meter is a specialized device for measuring magnetic field strength, with a single axis sensor designed for precise measurements. Made by the reputable brand F.W. Bell, this Tesla Meter is ideal for professionals in EMF and Gaussmeters, ensuring accurate readings for testing and inspection purposes. This product is essential for industrial and business settings where monitoring magnetic field levels is crucial for safety and efficiency.
I had been in the market for a good portable Gauss meter for a while, but just could not bring myself to go with the commonly found China made units... they may be OK for some uses, but I KNEW that if I got a F.W. Bell unit, it would be good... no guessing or hoping... and it has not disappointed. The ability to measure down to 0.01mTesla / 0.1 Gauss (digital resolution) is pretty nice for a handheld meter. The provided zeroing calibration chamber gives me assurance my reading is not biased in either polarity as well. Likewise the fact that each and every probe has its own calibration factor number is reassuring that my measurements are accurate across a wide-range of measurements, clear up to its 20,000 Gauss / 2Tesla full-scale range.
The product is useless without its missing probe. Like a thermometer without its thermocouple sensor.
There was no mention of this missing piece of the magnetometer. It did not mention that it did not include the manufacturer's probe. Without it, I have no way of testing the instrument, or using it for anything.
