Magnetic suspension balance

The Magnetic Suspension Balance (MSB) is a gravimetric device that has wide applications in sorption and densitometry sciences. The MSB enables measuring the change in a sample mass under varying conditions. The device consists of an electromagnet subject to atmospheric conditions, a permanent magnet and a position transducer, both located inside the measurement cell and subjected to the desired test conditions. The permanent magnet is connected to the sample pan through the so-called load coupling system. The MSB is operable under pressures and temperatures up to 15 MPa and 400 °C.
