Gauss meter and Hall probe identification
A gauss meter should be identified with the probe that produced the reading. Record axial or transverse probe construction, sensor orientation, AC or DC field mode and the displayed unit. Include the field points used in inspection and whether polarity matters. A replacement probe may carry its own sensitivity information. Keep that identity with the display when asking RTS to review a magnetic-field calibration enquiry.
Match the probe to the field
Photograph the probe marking and the fixture that holds it, particularly where the tip enters a narrow gap. State the direction from which the field is measured and whether the result is a signed value or a magnitude. Probe orientation affects the reading. The request should retain the mounting information rather than reduce the requirement to the largest field printed in the meter specification.
Record the indication that matters
Tell us whether the operator reads a steady display, a peak-hold value or an output sent to a recorder. Give the units in the inspection instruction and identify any conversion applied afterward. If several probes are shared by one meter, list the combinations that need evidence. A report for one pair should remain attached to that pair when the equipment returns to the stores register.
Compare like conditions in the history
A previous report is useful when it identifies the same probe, field direction and measurement mode. Mark the points you want repeated and explain any replacement probe or changed fixture. Do not compare two unexplained sensitivity figures as though they describe identical conditions. Ask the technical reviewer to state the accepted arrangement and uncertainty alongside the results needed for your inspection limits.
Agree the service before releasing a reference
Magnetic-field work requires a suitable field reference and a method appropriate to the probe and meter. The electrical label on a scope document is not enough to establish that capability. RTS will need to confirm the route, requested points and report description before the instrument is accepted. For a reference shared between plants, include the next user and date needed so purchasing can plan the handover.
Keep the returned kit identifiable
Protect the probe using its fitted case and retain any orientation mark in the packing photographs. Record the meter, probe, cable and adapter identifiers separately. Give one technical contact responsibility for checking the returned configuration against the agreed request before the kit is used for inspection.
