LCR Precision Meter

Precision LCR meter used for Magnetic Incremental Permeability (MIP) measurements. Frequency range 10-1 MHz.

Manufacturer

Keysight

Model

E4980AL

Location

LEEC Laboratory

Technical Specifications

  • Frequency range 10 Hz – 1 MHz, MIP equivalent sensing method

Usage & Applications

  • Magnetic Incremental Permeability (MIP) measurements for material characterization.
  • Frequency sweeps from 10 Hz to 1 MHz to evaluate incremental permeability indicators (μMIP, |Z|).
  • Detection of case-hardening depth, residual stresses and early-stage corrosion in steels.
  • Validation of FEM simulations (Onelab) against experimental impedance measurements.

Typical measurement campaign:

1. Calibrate the meter with open/short/load compensation. 2. Mount the specimen in the MIP sensing head. 3. Sweep frequency and record |Z|, R and L at fixed excitation. 4. Extract magnetic indicators and compare with Pearson correlation analysis.
