Magnetic viscosity and PI

Geophys

New member
Hi

I'm interested in measuring soil magnetic viscosity using a pulse induction meter. I suppose most detector manufacturers consider this undesirable but are there any commercial units available that could do this? The technique was popular for archaeology some years ago but seems to have fallen out of favour. Is anybody able to describe how PI could do this and if a basic PI metal detector circuit could be adapted to measure viscosity?

Hi Geophys,

I recently designed a PI Magnetic Viscosity Meter, which was introduced in August 2008 at a Soil Magnetism Workshop in Cranfield University UK. Also the Geophysics department at University of Paris, France, have one and are doing lots of soil measurements. Full details can be seen at Magnetic Viscosity Meter

Apologies for the very similar URL for the US representative, but that is what he has had for some time.

Eric.
