Our Electrical Conductivity Measurement instrument - sigmascope SMP350 is designed with utmost precision to measure the electrical conductivity of metallic conductor accurately and precisely. Our Electrical Conductivity Sigmascope SMP350 is also used for assessing hardness and strength of various heat treated materials. Electrical conductivity is a basic material property which gives information about metal's ability for conducting electrical current.
