Electrical conductivity measurement

Electrical conductivity provides key information about the composition, purity, and mechanical condition of non-ferromagnetic metals. FOERSTER testing systems use the eddy current method to measure conductivity quickly and precisely – for reliable material identification and quality control.

Electrical conductivity reflects how well a material transmits electric current and is closely linked to its composition, hardness, and heat treatment state. Measuring this property enables the detection of variations in alloy structure, purity, or mechanical stress without damaging the material. FOERSTER systems determine conductivity in non-ferromagnetic metals using the eddy current method, providing accurate and repeatable results even on complex geometries. Typical applications include quality control in metal production, verification of alloy homogeneity, and inspection of highly stressed components in aerospace or energy industries. With decades of expertise in electromagnetic testing, FOERSTER ensures precision and reliability in every conductivity measurement.
