15. MS2/MS3 Susceptibility/Temperature System

The measurement capability of the MS2/MS3 system can be extended to include the
measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of materials as a function of temperature. There are
five additional items required for this.
1. Water-jacketed sensor type MS2W: Magnetic susceptibility sensor, with special cooling and
temperature compensation. See
2. Furnace type MS2WF: Heating furnace with an integral temperature display module, internal
thermocouple, and external thermocouple socket. See
3. MS2WFP power supply: Power supply unit for the system, with controls for heating and pump
operation, and communication connections to a PC. See
Controller.
4. A water supply of 2 litres/minute: Protects sensor from high temperatures of the furnace
5. A computer (supplied by the user) with an RS-232 serial port running the GeoLab for
Windows software: Software is supplied with the system, for plotting the results in real time.
This equipment can be used to perform magnetic susceptibility measurements on small samples
(e.g. soil, rock, powder) over a temperature range from -250 to 850
everything required to heat samples from room temperature, at a controlled rate. For cooling
below room temperature, a facility to cool samples is required (e.g. liquid nitrogen dewar). The
measurements can be taken manually, or automatically logged using a PC.
The system name is abbreviated to the "MS2 X/T System".

15.1 MS2/MS3 Susceptibility Temperature System Cables

The following interconnection cables are provided with the MS2/MS3 Susceptibility/Temperature
system:
• MS2WFP to computer (RS-232 serial interface: 9-way 'D' type).
• MS2/MS3 meter to MS2WFP (RS-232 serial interface: 9-way 'D' type).
• MS2/MS3 meter to MS2W sensor (TNC-TNC coaxial cable).
• MS2WF to MS2WFP (8-way cable: circular multipole type).
• Mains to MS2WFP (mains cable: IEC 3-pole to service outlet as requested).
