Description

An accurate laboratory experiment for contactless measurement of resistivity in nonferromagnetic conductive tubes has been developed. The experimental setup corresponds to an electrical transformer, the tube being the core. Study of the magnetic screening caused by the currents induced in the tube allows its conductivity to be determined with a precision better than 1%
