Hocking AutoSigma 3000DL Eddy Current Conductivity Meter

The AutoSigma 3000DL is the data logging version of the AutoSigma 3000 handheld eddy current conductivity meter for non ferrous metals. The instrument was originally sold under the Hocking name then GE Inspection Technologies and now Waygate Technologies. It measures electrical conductivity quickly and non destructively so inspectors can identify and sort alloys verify heat treatment and detect heat damage in service. The built in data logger stores readings for traceable records.

Key Features

• Wide conductivity range: 0.8 to 110% IACS (0.45 to 64 MS/m)
• High accuracy: ±0.1% at 10% IACS and ±0.5% at 100% IACS, at 20 °C
• Two operating frequencies: 60 kHz the aerospace industry standard and 500 kHz which allows testing of thin materials with the standard probe
• Automatic temperature compensation: readings are corrected to the 20 °C value over an ambient range of 0 to 40 °C
• Data logging: stores up to 500 readings in up to 50 files
• Lift off compensation: the probes compensate for non conductive coatings such as paint or anodizing (up to 0.5 mm with the 12.7 mm probe, and 0.25 mm with the 8 mm probe)
• Field changeable probes: swap probes in the field with no need to return the unit for probe matching
• Built in conductivity standards: on top of the unit and removable for value verification and thermal equilibrium
• Clear LCD with selectable backlight
• Lightweight and rugged: 0.4 kg including batteries, in a high-impact splash proof polycarbonate case
• Long battery life: three AA alkaline batteries giving about 100 hours without the backlight

Typical Applications

• Identifying and sorting non ferrous alloys typically aluminum
• Detecting heat damage in in service aerospace components
• Verifying heat treatment
• Measuring conductivity of wire, bus bars, and conductors during production and service
• Checking density of powder metal parts

What’s Typically Included

The standard AutoSigma 3000DL package contains a 47P001 conductivity probe a conductivity setup block a 60 inch probe lead a probe shoe for rounded surfaces batteries a carrying case and bag, the operating manual, and a certificate of conformity.

Why Choose It

The AutoSigma 3000DL puts accurate repeatable conductivity testing in a light rugged handheld with logging for traceable inspection records. Its two frequencies and field swappable probes cover everything from aerospace heat treatment checks to thin section testing.
