    Measuring the field direction of a fixed magnet

    MagMike, the 0.5" is the OD. There is a problem with the green magnetic viewing paper because our magnet is epoxied into a plastic device we would not be able to place the magnet on the paper. So in order to do this we would have to remove the magnet and doing so usually results in breaking...

    Measuring the field direction of a fixed magnet

    Thank you for your quick responses. We have a few gauss/tesla meters that can give you the strength of the magnet and a general direction(too much user input for an accurate angle). I don't need to know the kind of pole, by the way the magnet is approximately a 0.5" washer that is epoxied...

    Measuring the field direction of a fixed magnet

    I am new to magnets and I have been delegated to create a fixture that can take a fixed magnet and measure the dirction of the field. The magnet strength can be as high as 1kG. Currently we do this by attempting to sit the magnet on top of a compass the exact same way everytime and record the...
