SigmaCheck 2 

The SigmaCheck 2 Eddy Current (ECT) Conductivity Meter is designed to provide the user with fast and accurate conductivity measurements at a reasonable price; whilst being extremely easy to use making it suitable for use by shop inspectors or engineers. 

Meeting the requirements for conductivity measurements in the aircraft manufacture and maintenance, the SigmaCheck 2 is put to work where conductivity measurements are used to verify proper alloy/temper or detect heat damaged components.

The Sigmacheck 2 is extremely user friendly and can just as easily be operated by a semi-skilled Operator as by Experts. It will be equally at home in the Aerospace, Metals Processing, Casting, Maintenance and Quality Assurance industries as well as appealing to Heat Treatment Specialists and those determining the purity of materials such as gold bullion and coins (counterfeit detection).
