Introducing Our New Magnetic Field Measurement Capabilities
ESI is committed to pushing the boundaries of precision and innovation in measurement services. We are thrilled to announce the latest service: magnetic field surveys that include measurement of both static (DC) and alternating (AC) magnetic fields.
Why Magnetic Field Measurement?
Whether you’re engaged in cutting-edge research or ensuring the accuracy and reliability of critical tools and systems, understanding magnetic fields is crucial. Our advanced measurement capabilities enable you to confidently:
- Evaluate static magnetic fields that impact sensitive equipment
- Analyze the effects of alternating fields in sensitive environments
- Optimize equipment layout, design, and operation with data-driven insight
- Troubleshoot quality and productivity issues with precise, real-time measurements
What Equipment is Sensitive to Magnetic Fields?
Many types of equipment can be affected by magnetic fields – especially in research, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing environments. Systems most commonly affected include:
- Electron microscopes and MRI scanners, which rely on highly controlled electromagnetic environments for precision imaging
- Sensitive laboratory instrumentation such as mass spectrometers, atomic force microscopes, and SQUID magnetometers
- Semiconductor fabrication tools, where even minor magnetic disturbances can affect lithography and etching accuracy
- Magnetic storage devices and legacy hard drives, which can experience data corruption
- Instrumentation with precision sensors or analog circuitry, where induced currents or field interference may lead to signal drift or error
Equipment manufacturers often require both the amplitude and stability of ambient magnetic fields to be measured before approving a site for installation. Specifications are typically expressed in units of milliGauss (mG) or microTesla (µT), depending on the sensitivity of the equipment.
With our enhanced capability to measure DC and AC magnetic fields, you can be confident in making more informed decisions, to reduce risks, and drive progress on your projects.
