Magnetic suspension balance

The Magnetic Suspension Balance (MSB) is a gravimetric device with a wide range of applications in sorption and densitometry. The MSB enables the measurement of changes in a sample’s mass under varying conditions. The device consists of an electromagnet exposed 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 via the so-called load coupling system. The MSB is capable of operating under pressures and temperatures up to 15 MPa and 400 °C.
